Reality Panic

Didn’t quite make it out as much as last year (nice to have a decrease in travel for once), but did take two longer-than-usual trips (ie, 10+ days) to Japan and SF+Australia. On the whole, still seems like I’m out more than I should be…

Anyway, here’s the listing of cities (and related events/reports+photos) I was in over the past twelve months:

• San Francisco, CA (Game Developers Conference)
• Albany, NY (RPI Game Festival & Symposium)
• Vancouver, BC (Vancouver International Game Summit)
• Malmo, Sweden (Nordic Game Conference)
• Santa Monica, CA (E3 Media & Business Summit)
• Brighton, UK (Develop Conference)
• Chicago, IL (ASAE Annual Meeting)
• Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo Game Show, DiGRA, CoFesta, CEDEC)
• Chicago, IL (IGDA board strategy retreat)
• San Francisco, CA (IGDA Leadership Forum)
• Perth/Melbourne, Australia (Game Connect: Asia Pacific, IGDA-Perth)
• Montreal, QC (Montreal International Game Summit)

And, with a trip to Toronto in mid-January for GameON: Finance and GDC earlier than usual in mid-February, looks like 2008 is going to get off to a hectic start.
