Seattle Ho! And News

In about an hour I will leave to head to the airport to catch a flight to Seattle, and thence to Bellevue, home of the Penny Arcade Expo. It will be an amazing time. I know this, because last year was amazing. I expect to be even more amazed this year.

No small feature: the weather in Seattle is forecasted to be 81, 82 degrees this weekend.

Ryan and I will be working on The 1UP Show from there.

Now, here's the news part: this will be my last 1UP Show. I'm leaving Ziff to work at CMP, as Conference Manager for the GDC.

I'll be reporting to Jamil Moledina, the Executive Director of the GDC; I'll be working on a new unannounced conference, as well as helping to program tracks and sessions for the GDC proper, in March, which will be in San Francisco again this year.

It's odd to think about leaving a place like Ziff because here, I get to be creative every day; I got to basically make up a position for myself and fit myself into it. I got to create a show that became a flagship product for the video wing of Ziff. I got to write emails to the team saying "I'm not coming into the office today because I'll be at home working on the new theme song." I got to work with talented and humane people who cared deeply about what they are doing. I learned a bunch of new skills and I met a bunch of new people.

Thank you, Ziff, and it goes without saying that I'll miss you terribly. You really did become like family to me. Never have I worked anywhere that felt like home; never have I had coworkers whom I've universally liked. We had a lot of laughs, surely, and concocted some tasty memories.

And now, I'm leaving to do the same thing - to conquer a new challenge, to meet more people, to do something I've never done before, to make a product I can be proud of.

Life never stops, so why should I?

Anyway, I'll write more later - from sunny Seattle!

Jane, I know that you exist because of the 1UP Show. I'm sure it was a massive undertaking, seeing it from a little video thingie to spice up the site to *THE* reason I started visiting 1UP.com on a regular basis. Any time I can squeeze it into a conversation, I tell people to go watch it and enjoy. I think you've done an excellent job, and I'm sure the show will be left in capable hands.

As for your new endeavor, it is a habit of highly creative people to constantly seek out change and challenge. Best of luck in your latest endeavor.

I've never seen this 1UP.com show, but I've been reading GGA for a long while. Good luck with the new position. I was a CA at the GDC and the CMP folks were great to work with.

hey jane,

sad to hear that you are leaving 1up, i mean you made the 1up show so enjoyable and the early podcasts (before the 1up yours podcast) were fantastic. i am glad to see that you will continue to update the site. i wish you the very best with your new job.

p.s. i watched the 1up show the other day that was about GDC and i watched the portion that showed a bit of your speech (the #1 bitch part) and i think you were totally right about it.

Sorry about that.
