I'm sorry to be so late on this announcement, but I'm struggling to keep up these days.  However TOMORROW is a very interesting event if you happen to be in the area of this event.  Career Discovery: Games is being held tomorrow, 3/24/07 in Belleview, WA.  It's looking to be a fantastic event for students or other folks interested in getting into the game development industry.  I'll work with them to get more advance notice of future events like this.
