All signed up!!!

Just bought my SIGGRAPH ticket.  paid the extra $15 to have the tickets sent to my house so I don’t have to go to the registration table when we get there.  I leave St Louis on the 3rd and am leaving on the 10th. 

Joel, I am also going to the Sandbox exhibit (the video game thing.) Don’t remember if you said you were going to that or not.  If not I will try to take good notes for you.

See guys at 6 tonight for the modelers meeting.
