[casual_games] GDC 2007 passes?

[Bret Terrill]

Ellen,

I appreciate the Student Pass tip, I'll be passing it
along to some friends who still haven't gotten their
passes yet.  Fortunately, I got plucked from the
waiting list to be a Conference Associate, so I'll be
working the show.  If anyone from the list happens
upon me, say hello, I'll be one of the many
green-shirted minions wandering about the convention
center.  
I guess I owe Neil a beer.
