Hi -- I'm at the GDC Austin now and will post a report when I return about that.
Yes, I am going to futureplay - I submitted the proposal, after all :) Already booked flight and hotel.
Re: Meetings -- I agree -- I think for now lets use email until we come to a place where we need something more synchronous because a deadline is approaching. I was thinking that since the 19 different lists weren't popular (hehe) that we could just have two lists -- this one and then one for anyone who wants to talk or know about details for specific projects. So then we wouldn't have as many emails like I am sending now for those who just want to hear overviews and/or get less mail (ie, lurkers, etc) and then those who want to debate the merits of an 11am meeting versus a 3pm meeting can do so on the other list. Both would be unmoderated like this list is now -- it would just give people the option of being on either list or both.
Re: health -- feeling better but still a little sick here and there. Really tough to start out the semester that way -- my students were freaking out that my being in hospital would negatively effect their grades. Lol. Nono...I'm not THAT mean. ;)
Re: E for all -- I do really need to know who can attend and for how many days they can attend. As it seems now, I am the only one at the booth the first two days. So if you can go for any amount of time, please let me know ASAP! Thanks!
Michelle

these are mediocre times and people are
losing hope. it's hard for many people
to believe that there are extraordinary
things inside themselves, as well as
others. i hope you can keep an open
mind.
