Steve, I won't make it to Siggraph, unfortunately. Just did Origins last month, and have to watch pennies. I'm in Emeryville, which is more centrally-located. Kate is in Richmond, and has a backyard with 2 grills. We'll probably meet at Kate's first, since BBQ is a nice ice-breaking activity. I suspect that a peek at your latest work would bring a few more of the lurkers out of the woodwork! Carolly
