Went to the talk he gave at Urbis last night, very enjoyable two hours...subjects ranged from which font he wants on his gravestone, to how (as newly appointed creative director for Manchester), he wants to commission a statue of Ian Curtis for St Annes Square! :nod:

Anyone from the board going to the talk he's giving this evening?

I really liked the font he used on the JD Substance sleeve. Possibly his best.
