[games_access] Bay Area Gamers with Disabilities

[Robert Florio]

I'd like to contact them anyway I've got a lot of experience with television
interviews.  I don't really know anyone with disabilities who plays games in
California.  Other places around the country but I don't think California.
Would it be okay if I contacted them to see if they could use me I could
actually play the controller QuadController set up at one of our arcades to
demonstrate?  That would be a huge launching ground for all of us.  Who
knows when I get my documentary complete I could even give it to them they
might be the perfect people.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I still can't get it to render though a friend of mine from the workforce
technology Center in Baltimore who's paying for my education is coming over
tomorrow to troubleshoot.  While I have left to do is do the voice over and
that I'm complete.  It is one hour and 25 minutes long.  Don't worry I was
short but all good stuff Do we keep energetic keep attention I've got
experience with that it's all fun.

Hi everyone,

I've received a request to forward this to the list:

TV Producers from KQED, the PBS station in San Francisco, are looking for
Bay Area gamers (designers, developers and plain enthusiasts) with
disabilities for a segment they are doing on video game accessibility. The
segment will air on their new, weekly-airing science/environment/technology
series, "Quest". The Quest production crew will be filming at the Game
Developers Conference in San Francisco from March 5th thru March 9th, so a
response at your earliest convenience would be greatly appreciated. Please
contact KQED Associate Producer Sheraz Sadiq at 415-553-2856 or
ssadiq(at)kqed.org to find out more about the project and share your story.

The producers have been working with me on getting access to our GDC
sessions and talking with members who are going to be at GDC but the
producers are also interested in talking with gamers with disabilities in
the San Francisco, California area who are not going to GDC.

things inside themselves, as well as 
others. i hope you can keep an open 
mind.
