[games_access] name for project, other SIGs

[AudioGames.net]

(grin) Told you I was on another planet in 2008 ;) Yeah, I did catch a bit 
through Exoplanetary-email (thank god for Spitzer!) about the Leipzig 
conference being cancelled, as well as the E3 returning - I just wasn't 
aware with GDC Europe having *another* go at it ;) Can you recommend an 
industry emaillist for this type of news? I'm already on 6+ games' lists but 
most of them academic-ish (such as GamesNetwork), not super-industry-ish... 
:( Thanks!
