Troy>San Francisco>Los Angeles

Bouncing between coasts over the next week...

First up: I'll be at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY on the evening of Tuesday, November 29th for the EMPAC Fair Game event. This should be a really fun evening as I'll be presenting with friends Friedrich Kirschner (who will be showing off some of the cool work he's doing in UT2004) and The ILL Clan, who will be performing their new live Machinima show Tra5h Ta1k (which they premiered at the festival). Kurt Hentschlager and the Workspace Unlimited team will be on hand as well.

From there, I'll jet out to San Francisco, where I'll chill with some Westie friends for a few days and then slide on down to Stanford on Sunday, Dec. 4th for another evening of Machinima presentations - once again featuring The ILL Clan as well as fellow Machinima Film Fest alumni, Michael Nitsche from Georgia Tech (Michael also leads up the GT Machinima Group).

From SF, a quick jaunt down into LA on December 7th to appear on G4's Attack of the Show, giving hosts Kevin Pereira and the ever beautiful Sarah Lane, the definitive 2005 MFF wrap-up. There's also rumor of a Machinima gathering/dinner/drinks while I'm in town...anyone up for poolside martinis?

Also: stay tuned for a short Q&A with filmmaker Koulamata about his now famous The French Democracy machinima, with links now over at Boing Boing, Media Bistro, Joystiq and Tony Walsh's Clickable Culture (thanks, Tess!). I'm sure there'll be more to come...
