Tolkien knew the history of typography. He taught medieval paleography at Oxford University. I believe he gave to a Hobbit the name Bolger Griffo (see Appendix C of "The Lof of the Rings") to honor the Italian punch-cutter Francesco Griffo.

One of the bands I really wanted to see was GriffO, a math rock band from China. According to the singer (funnily I understood her Japanese better than when Japanese people are speaking, but that's probably because she kept it simple) this was the first time they've played in Japan, so the chances of seeing them in the UK are quite low. Another great live band!
I'll keep synchronicity-spamming until the battery runs out (soon I think) đ
