Creativity This Weekend
To mix things up a bit this weekend, Jane and I will be attending the New-York based "Creativity Now" conference. Hosted by Tokion magazine, it's jammed sixteen significant culture producers into a marathon session of artistic explanation. Somewhere between Yuko Shimizu, responsible for Hello Kitty, and Melle Mel, who wrote raps for Grandmaster Flash, there's two figures more immediately relevant to games: Stieg Hedlund, running his own design shop after long work with Blizzard on Diablo II, and Matthew Barney, the director of Cremaster the longest video game homage to emerge from the Guggenheim this year. It's heartening to see video games presented as an integral part of a discussion of modern culture! We'll participate and take notes.

Cool things do occur in Texas, like the Austin Game Conference, which I'll be attending next week. Hopefully, Jane and Justin will be there too since they're so much better at writing up conference summaries than I.
You had great weather on the east coast. Hope you enjoyed yourselves, and I to, look forward to the pics and write up.
