[games_access] Robert Florio Pittsburgh Post interview. Featuring Michelle.

Wed May 9 12:25:14 EDT 2007

Cool! Yes, I know your PR people at the Art Institute very well at 
this point. :) It's all good. I thought that the ABC news bit and the 
KQED stuff from San Fran worked out very well -- we've gotten a lot 
of new people sign up on the list (waves to new people - don't be 
shy!).

I've tried calling and emailing the Washington Post people but I 
don't think they've put up their interview with you yet. I think it 
might be because it was due to come out right around the time of the 
Virginia Tech shootings and since so many of the victims were from 
the Washington area...video games definitely fall out of favor in the 
media when horrid things happen even if they have NOTHING to do with 
the violent events. But I'll email them again -- do you have any 
other contact info for them?

Anyway, great news about your documentary and let us know how to vote 
for you when the competition for the scholarship is posted!!

Michelle
