not out of the woods yet

I have been crazy busy last few weeks guest editing the April issue of Contemporary Art and Investment magazine (special issue to go with my show) and FINALLY sent things off to Hangzhou for printing on Monday. whew! I even took a day off and stayed away from the computer...until about 10pm when I suddenly remembered some important corrections to be made and got on MSN with Zuo Jing to let him know. then on wednesday I heard from Zuo Jing that they were in the thick of proofreading and still making lots of corrections...and then today I got news that none of the fonts on the file we sent worked--eeks--a major situation! After frantic MSN messaging and a few phone alls it seems it is all on track now, no other solution than to have they (the magazine team in HZ) go through and change every bit of text on all 80 pages to a new font that is nearly exactly the same as the one we used, only different in name. It is a HUGE pain in the ass but I am being assured by my designer (here in Beijing) that it will all look the same and it is no problem. Everyday is precious...we are now at least 4 days behind schedule. Hope it all works out in the end...fingers crossed we can actually go to the printer tomorrow!!!
