The games press is starting (finally) to talk about the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grants that were awarded a few weeks ago. If you scroll down in the article, the one I designed is listed (the one from USC, obviously). Very cool to see that, especially when press about games is almost always in the flavor of "OMG GAMEZ MAKE PPL KIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL"

Parking in San Francisco is an adventure.

Hey all.

So, if you're wondering where I've been lately, I was mostly doing this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sklathill/sets/72157605007035899/

"That looks like the thesis show!" you might say. And you would be right. An unlikely series of events led to the thesis show falling back into my lap about a week ago, which meant that I had a week to get the show up and ready to open last night. The bulk of the heavy construction was done, but we still had a ton of light construction, set design, set dressing, sewing, etc to do, not to mention publicity materials and getting those out. Yeeeeeah. It got done, and we even managed it without an all-crew mandatory all-nighter (a first for this event I might add), but oh MY am I tired. So, that's the update for today. Thesis show went up, it is going very well, nobody died, and now I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I move to San Francisco next Sunday, so I'll probably have updates for you then about the new city, new apartment, new job, etc. See you all then!
