Well, going to Siggraph was my big adventure away from my desk. Taking the cab was part of the thrill! Did make my hair stand on end when he went through the red light!!! Thanks for the tip on the bus, might try that this year. I always feel like a country bumpkin going to LA - just a different mood/pace than San Diego's downtown. I had heard that it was going to be in Boston next year, but don't see anything on Siggraph's site.
