I did not know SIGGRAPH was in SD next year. Probably because I'm unable to attend :( this year (for the 1st time in seven years) so I guess I just haven't been paying attention. I'm so jazzed to hear this news. S.D. is my home town (well I wasn't born there but it's home to me... I went to college there and after graduation, decided to stay and work in that beautiful city for a decade. Wow! My boyfriend lives there too, so now I won't have to worry about lodging for the course of the show. Kewwwwl bonus. Thanks for the news EricofSD... You made my day. : ) Cheers! Pam
