Savage, John
John Savage '87 was named Coach of the Year this season, by both Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and Baseball America magazines. Savage was also named the ABCA West Region Coach of the Year earlier this summer.
One of the most respected coaches in college baseball, Savage led the Bruins to their first national baseball championship at the recent College World Series with an 8-0 win over Mississippi St. The Bruins, 49-17, rolled through the NCAA Tournament with a 10-0 record and finished 5-0 at the College World Series.
UCLA faced possibly the most difficult gauntlet of teams in history during its undefeated run to the national championship. The Bruins started off by beating two ranked teams in Cal. Poly and San Diego in Regional action along with San Diego St. Then UCLA travelled to No. 4 ranked Cal. St. Fullerton and eliminated the Titans two straight.
At the College World Series, UCLA knocked off No. 1 ranked LSU, No. 5 N.C. State, No. 2 North Carolina and then swept Mississippi State two straight in the Championship Series. Incredibly, the Bruins' pitching staff only allowed four runs over five CWS games against these elite teams.
That achievement is especially relevant because Savage is also the pitching coach at UCLA and one of the best in the business.
In the 67-year-history of the College World Series, only one national champion has given up fewer runs than UCLA this year as California allowed three in 1957.
The Bruins were the first team in CWS history to allow one run or less in each of the five games they played.
UCLA only surrendered one run in two games played against hard-hitting Mississippi State in the Championship Finals. The lone run is the fewest ever given up by a team in the Finals.
UCLA's pitchers only allowed 14 runs in 10 games during Regional, Super Regional and College World Series games. The core of every Savage team has been the remarkable pitching staffs he has molded. The top three starters on the 2013 staff included Adam Plutko (10-3, 2.25 ERA), Nick Vander Tuig (14-4, 2.16 ERA) and Grant Watson (9-3, 3.01 ERA).
The bullpen was incredible with All-American closer David Berg (NCAA record 24 saves in 51 appearances, 0.92 ERA, 78 strikeouts, 11 walks), James Kaprielian (34 appearances, 1.55 ERA in 40 2/3 innings), and Zack Weiss (43 appearances, 2.25 ERA in 40 innings), among others.
Pitchers posted a 2.55 ERA and struck out 457 batters with only 163 walks.
The staff, along with catcher Shane Zeile, only allowed 42 stolen bases in 64 attempts over 66 games and just one stolen base at the College World Series.
UCLA's team ERA the last four years has been remarkable thanks to the tireless work of Savage.
Never in the history of UCLA baseball has the pitching been so good for so long, and that is a direct reflection of Savage who teaches every aspect of pitching to his hurlers, including the vital mental and emotional side.
Over his nine years, Savage has produced some of the nation's top drafted pitchers, including Gerrit Cole (first overall pick in 2011 Draft by Pirates), Trevor Bauer (third overall pick in 2011 draft by Diamondbacks), David Huff (first round supplemental pick in 2006 by the Indians) and Rob Rasmussen (second round pick in 2010 by the Marlins), just to name a few.
Savage has guided the Bruins to the post-season in seven of the last eight seasons.
He became UCLA's first head baseball coach to lead the Bruins to the finals of the College World Series in 2010, guiding UCLA to a 51-17 record that year in a second place national finish to South Carolina.
Savage has also led the Bruins to their third College World Series appearance in four years and guided the Bruins to a top three Pac-12 Conference finish in each of the last eight seasons, the only Pac-12 team to do so.
UCLA has had 65 players drafted by professional baseball since Savage came on the scene.
Savage, 47, and his wife, Lisa, have four children: Julia (17), Jack (15), Ryan (13) and Gabrielle (11).

Laird, Laurie
Laurie Laird '87 has left Santa Clara University as associate director of the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education to assume a new position as associate director of Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest.
In the 15 years that Laird has devoted to community-based learning at SCU, she has affected the lives of more than 11,000 students. Her efforts as associate director of the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education have been key in the creation of strong and sustainable partnerships between the University and more than 60 community organizations in the South Bay.
In 2011, California Campus Compact (CCC) awarded her the Richard E. Cone Award for Excellence & Leadership in Cultivating Community Partnerships in Higher Education. A coalition of leading colleges and universities, CCC established the award in 1999 to inspire institutions to deepen their efforts to create and sustain authentic community campus partnerships.
Among her accomplishments, Laird founded and co-directed the Jean Donovan Summer Fellowship Program, which provides grants for undergraduate students for summer community-based social justice work. She also led a delegation of faculty and staff on an immersion trip to El Salvador each year.

New Mexican Bernalillo Restaurants BernalilloWhen you enter La Casita in Bernalillo, you're greeted with a pair of chile-shaped chalkboards announcing the strengths of the red and green that day. And if they say something is hot at La Casita, they mean it. Posole, tamales (green-chile chicken or red-chile pork) in sweet masa, enchiladas—it's all down-home and bueno. To go along with La Casita's New Mexican offerings, there's even a New Mexican wine list. Or if staying in is on the menu, La Casita's family-size takeout is one of the best bargains going. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Not only do these people serve thick, meaty bacon, dreamy globs of queso and hot, buttery biscuits—because that would most certainly be enough on its own—but The Range Café in Bernalillo also happens to keep things interesting at night. Step into their Lizard Rodeo Lounge for free live music three or four nights a week, a full-service bar, nice atmosphere and a fine BLT. Thank you, Range people.

Montpelier's fine arts college will soon be fact, even if a fiction writer led the way
At first glance you wouldn't take Thomas Greene for a college president. Just 38 years old, he's a long way from gravitas, and his boyish face doesn't help. He's a three-time published novelist whose primary professional passion is writing, and he's eager to get back to it. But meanwhile, he's got a college to buy. And get accredited. And reinvent.
Much of the work is already done. A financial package is on the verge of approval, the core curricula are ready to roll, and, if all goes well, the Montpelier-based Vermont College of Fine Arts will get a green light on accreditation next spring. So how did Greene become not only a college president but a community and academic hero, about to open the nation's first graduate institution devoted exclusively to the fine arts?
Here's the story. In 2001, Union Institute and University (UI), the Cleveland-based "university without walls," purchased Vermont College from Norwich University of Northfield, Vermont. The private military academy had itself purchased, in 1978, a package of adult-degree programs from a financially strapped Goddard College — along with the campus of what was once a junior college in Montpelier. Fast-forward to 2006. Facing its own financial hardships, including a federal challenge to its financial-aid program, Union decided to offload the 168-year-old Vermont College campus. In April of that year, University of Vermont trustees negotiated to buy it — and its three Master's in Fine Arts programs — but ending up walking away from the deal. Local residents were alarmed to learn that among the remaining prospective buyers of the campus were developers who sought to turn some of its historic buildings into condominiums. That's when Greene, who had recently been hired to manage the MFA programs, stepped in.
"I thought UVM would have been a great asset to the city of Montpelier," he says, explaining that Union Institute had initially intended to sell only the physical campus while holding on to its various low- and non-residency degree programs. When UVM backed out, Greene says, "It sort of knocked things loose, and in some ways it created a pathway for how we could do it."
Other faculty and staff got excited about the idea of taking on the college. But, Greene recalls, "They said, 'We can't lead it, Tom. If you lead it, we'll follow.' We started working on it right away . . . In a lot of ways, we had no idea what we were doing."
But 17 months later, Greene is poised to turn his dream into a reality — the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Virtually 100 percent of the 70-plus part-time Union Institute MFA faculty members are on board. Greene's plan is for the new college to buy the 11-building, 33-acre campus from UIU, then lease space back to it, as well as to the New England Culinary Institute and Community College of Vermont. In this way it will become the center of a consortium of institutions of higher learning that offer non-traditional degree programs.
Since April 2006, Greene has found a business partner, put together an A-list board of trustees, raised nearly $400,000 to cover interim and transitional costs, and created a financing plan to handle the multi-million-dollar purchase price. He is well under way to securing accreditation for the fledgling college — the final step before the purchase can be finalized. Both sides expect to sign a binding purchase and sale agreement within days.
Greene acknowledges it's been something of a rollercoaster ride over the past year. As recently as May, he had expected to close on the UI deal by early August. But, chastened and wiser from the arduous process of birthing a college, Greene is confident the deal will indeed be consummated in due time. "Both parties are working in good faith, and everybody's in agreement about what we're trying to do," he says. "We're working together to get this done as quickly as we can."
UI president Roger Sublett agrees. "I think we're on track to bring it to a successful conclusion," he says.
Pending its accreditation, the Vermont College of Fine Arts is operating as a college-within-a-college: It has autonomy in terms of curriculum and faculty, while UI provides infrastructure and support services such as registering students and processing their requests for financial aid. Both parties expect a seamless transition next year, should all go according to plan.
Greene brims with enthusiasm and confidence when explaining his long-term vision for the VCFA. "I think the beauty of it is, you can build the kind of institution you want in terms of the people, the faculty you want to work with, with a progressive mission from the ground up, and having a place where it's fun to come to work every day," he says.
If the blond, athletic Greene is an unlikely college president, so is the local businessman he recruited last summer to be his partner. Bill Kaplan, an East Montpelier resident who moved to Vermont after a successful career in real estate, had been working part-time on an assortment of conservation and community-building projects when a mutual friend suggested he and Greene meet. Both men are married to writers and are fathers of young children.
Kaplan has no professional background in academics or the fine arts; he saw his role as "a temporary volunteer" at first, and didn't think he'd still be involved more than a year later. "He woke up one morning and had a day job," jokes Greene.
"Bill has a very keen business acumen — he knows how to deal with real estate, how to run a business," remarks UI's Sublett, adding that Kaplan brings "a fresh vision, a creative, innovative approach . . . It's very refreshing to work with him and Tom."
Both Greene and Kaplan point to their complementary skills and experience and symbiotic partnership.
"You would think we'd play different roles based on our backgrounds, but we haven't. We've shared basically each piece of it and have done everything together. He brought credibility with Union Institute," explains Greene. "Doing this project alone would just have been impossible."
Though Greene considers him a full co-partner, Kaplan is technically a consultant. His VCFA business card lists no title. What attracted him to the project, Kaplan says, was "the importance to the community. You don't often get the opportunity to help make something like this happen. Maybe once in a lifetime."
Kaplan has been negotiating leases with UI, NECI, CCV and several other tenants, including the Family Center of Washington County, the T.W. Wood Art Gallery, International Coins and Currency and other local educational nonprofits. NECI, which moved its headquarters to the Vermont College campus in June 2006, will lease additional buildings for student housing.
"What started out as an attempt to save jobs and to save the campus has grown into something much broader and bigger," notes Greene, "to create a campus that is rooted locally but whose reach is global.
"It's been kind of crazy, but it's good," continues the writer, whose third novel, Envious Moon, was published by Harper Collins in May. "We still have a lot of work to do, but we're making good progress." His goal is to grow "from 300 to 1000 students over 10 years, to turn this historic campus into a place where the next generation of writers and artists pass through on their way to creating their own work."
The Vermont College MFA programs already have an impressive track record. VC alumni — including authors Wally Lamb and Katherine Paterson — have collectively published more than 450 books and won nearly every prestigious writing award offered in the U.S. The Atlantic Monthly recently placed the school's MFA in Writing program in the country's top five of its kind.
On a Saturday afternoon in early August, more than 150 families and friends congregate in College Hall Chapel to honor the 2007 crop of 18 graduates of the MFA in Visual Art program. The ceremony opens with a slide show of images, set to music, of the graduates during each of their five 10-day residencies on the Vermont College campus over the past two years.
It's immediately evident this is not a traditional graduation. No caps and gowns, no mortarboards, no esteemed speaker dispensing hackneyed pearls of wisdom. Instead, individual faculty members who have worked closely with the students describe them — their personalities, challenges, fears, endeavors and triumphs — one at a time. Relatives and loved ones dispense the diplomas.
The graduates, ranging in age from twenties to sixties, come from all over the country, and from diverse socio-economic and professional backgrounds. Their fields of study are as varied as their appearances: videography, painting, sculpture, photography, digital animation and other technical media. Most of the students were accomplished artists before enrolling in the program to recharge their batteries, challenge themselves or explore new art forms.
Case in point: New York City sculptor Judith Lipton. "I was looking for rigor in my work and a community to work in to take my art to the next step," she explains. Lipton has explored, mostly in her Manhattan studio, several new media over the past two years, including rice paper, burlap, photography and eggshells. "It's been good and challenging; it's a very intense program," she says.
"People can get an MFA here while they go on with their lives, with spouses and children," notes Lipton's friend Joan Grubin, now a VCFA trustee. "It changed my life. It's a transformative experience . . . There's a sense that age melts away; we're all in this heady, hothouse atmosphere where we're all playing for keeps."
The graduation reception takes place immediately below the chapel in the T.W. Wood Gallery, where the graduates' work is on display. NECI, now headquartered on campus, caters the event.
Rupert Nesbitt, a 39-year-old freelance illustrator from New-port, Rhode Island, and a new VC graduate, discusses the proposed sale of the campus and three MFA programs as he stands in front of his animated digital images. "I'm thrilled," he says. "This is a program that challenges a lot of ideas. It's good to have it independent."
"What draws us to Vermont College," says David Jauss, chair of the MFA in Writing program, "is that we get tremendous colleagues and great students. It's incredibly rewarding work." Jauss concedes the pay is low, but describes the level of support for the VCFA concept among faculty and staff as "astronomical." "There's so much excitement about the possibility of becoming the first college in the country to focus exclusively on the fine arts," he enthuses.
In the 1990s, before stepping back to focus full-time on his writing, Greene worked as a senior administrator and director of public affairs both at Norwich University and Vermont College. He says it occurred to him in 2001, when Union Institute first purchased the MFA programs from Norwich using the property as collateral, that Vermont College itself could have done that.
"In fact," he recalls, "there was a lot of celebration around the Union [purchase]. The phrase that was used was, they were 'reuniting DNA.'" Greene explains that UI itself was born at a 1960s Goddard College symposium of progressive colleges, where it was dubbed the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities. Over time, this consortium evolved into a degree-granting, independent entity and changed its name to the Union Institute. In the early 1990s, UI created a base of operations in Cleveland.
One of the first trustees recruited to the Vermont College of Fine Arts board was Mont-pelier Mayor Mary Hooper. "When the Union Institute announced that it was no longer going to be able to maintain this campus, I was very, very concerned about the property and the future of Vermont College," she says. "The creative energy and the programs contribute greatly to Montpelier, and define who we are as a city and a people."
Hooper cites the capital city's many independent bookstores. "Generally, you wouldn't find five bookstores in a community of 80,000, let alone 8000," she asserts.
Hooper says of the VCFA, "It's totally appropriate to Montpelier and to the central Vermont community, which is so rich in the arts, writers and other creative elements. I have a dream of the same thing happening with music and maybe dance and theater . . . It's much more exciting than if UVM had been a partner."
Hooper is part of a "world-class board" of trustees that Kaplan says has a local and a national perspective. It "can achieve national acclaim and not lose the character of Vermont College," he suggests. The board includes several working artists and Vermont College alumni, one of whom is Kathleen Dolan. She and her father, Charles Dolan — founder of CableVision and owner of Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks and New York Rangers — have provided $250,000 in transitional funds to VCFA through their family foundation. None of this grant, however, can be applied to the closely guarded Union Institute purchase price.
A recent board recruit is Vermont entrepreneur and former state Secretary of Human Services Cornelius ("Con") Hogan. "Tom Greene told me what his dreams and aspirations were," Hogan says, "and I took to him immediately because he did a great job of describing his vision of the place — very clear, focused, directional. He knew what had to happen."
UI President Roger Sublett says Greene's VCFA proposal best fit his institution's criteria: "We were looking for a buyer who was willing to maintain the integrity of the campus and programs for the citizens of central Vermont," he explains.
Adds trustee Joan Grubin, "He brings the most enormous, youthful energy, enthusiasm and tenacity around the project."
But if Greene and Kaplan could put together a business plan and a curriculum, neither of them knew much about getting a college accredited. It's a lengthy process, Greene explains, that includes a 200-page self-study and a site visit from representatives of the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, with whom he met last month.
"They laid out a pathway to do it, a very aggressive schedule," reports Greene. Though accreditation normally takes about two years, he expects a decision by their board in April.
Hogan emphasizes that the VCFA is "a financial asset to the community; it ensures that that beautiful campus will endure, in terms of its history and tradition." He suggests that the consortium of colleges on the hill will attract skilled faculty and provide a spectrum of learning opportunities — not just for long-distance students but for Vermont residents — in the form of seminars, colloquia, lectures, readings and art exhibits.
"These kind of enterprises are not straight lines; these types of projects are always a few steps forward, a couple steps back," adds Hogan. "It's not going to be easy, but it's all going to be worth it."
So, if the Vermont College of Fine Arts becomes a reality next spring, will Thomas Greene continue to lead the way? "I've always wanted to get back to my literary career, to be a full-time novelist, and I've been clear with the board about that from the start," he says. "I'll get it up and running smoothly; I'll stay involved however long it takes, but I want to get back to where my heart is."

Arguably one of the best land-based whale-watching sites in Australia - Point Lookout on beautiful North Stradbroke Island. Located just off the coast of Brisbane, the island is easy to access with a regular ferry service from mainland Cleveland.
The stately migration of the Southern Humpback whale to warmer waters in the north is a true wonder of nature and can be enjoyed at Point Lookout during the months of winter.
... moreDolphins, sea turtles and graceful manta rays are also frequent visitors to the crystal clear waters that surround Point Lookout and can be easily spied from several rocky outcrops. Get a little closer to the action with some snorkelling or a sea kayak adventure - both activities available on the island.
With Point Lookout as your base you can embark on a surfing safari along one of Queensland's best surfing beaches. The Point is also a great place to start on one of many nature walks around the island. The walk to North Gorge is a must with a picture-postcard scene around every corner. The walk leads you past North Gorge to Whale Rock. When the tide and sea conditions are right, air whistles through a blowhole in the rock giving the uncanny effect of a spouting whale.
From camping to luxury apartments, Point Lookout has accommodation to suit every taste and budget. However dining at Point Lookout's first-class eateries is strictly a casual affair. Don't pack your dinner suit but do bring your tastebuds as many establishments serve succulent seafood straight from the fisherman to you.

Since it was taken over by the new owners this coffee house has upped its game, food is delicious, you won't find a better coffee in London and its one of the most chilled out spots in forest hill. Can't recommend it enough.
Emma Alexis Tue Oct 8Rated as: 5/5 -
I adore this place! The coffee is superb and its my most favorite place to go in south east London to just read and chill out. The owners are lovely and trying out lots of new things. I like how they are rotating the art work too.

We love this coffee house, the new owners are very friendly.
My 2 year old son often makes a request to go to "the cafe with cars" (they have a box full for children to play with). Priceless!Caroline Tozzi Mon Apr 1 -
Lovely atmosphere and best bacon sandwiches ever, we go there at least every other weekend!

Serving some of the very best coffee in South London!! The perfect place to while away an afternoon.

I have been in that coffee house few times however most recently the service provided by the owner was dreadful. He always seems grumpy and unhappy that he needs to bring the coffees to his customers. While being there last time (never going back) I had to wait good 10 minutes at the counter as the owner was not able to do the coffee and answer very simple and quick question (is lunch items being served yet?) at the same time. Left in the end as nobody from the staff seemed interested in two, miserably standing clients. Would never ever recommend this place to anybody and since started having coffee at Canvas and Cream where both service and food is much better!!

I think I've died and gone to heaven after just finishing a sublime passion fruit tart with an amazing flat white. The perfect coffee shop!!
Sarah Sat Sep 29 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Became an instant fan on my first visit on Thursday. A classic boutique coffee shop, and more like something you would find in rural France. No surprise to discover the proprietor is looking to buy a holiday home in SW France. The collection of 60s and 70s LPs is so similar to mine it was almost scary -- just a coincidence though. Loved the coffee, loved the almond croissant, loved the ambience, loved the others using St Davids and loved the weather - perfect 25C outside. Will return next week.

Shortly after we moved to Forest Hill, St David opened. We try to go every weekend and feel very lucky to have this so nearby. Keep up the great work!!

I've always liked that kind of keep tabs -- my personal finances and me and I remember my child and my and we will play the lottery.
And I always those kind of the response.

The same kind of fun and Simon for free but it until -- -- actually rewards you for doing something positive which is.
You know saving more money or -- paying down your credit cards.
And you can win prizes without really spending you know -- -- -- what are some of the ways that people can earn prizes on -- say.
Well the number one way is once they register an account to make progress on either reducing that debt.
Increasing their savings and -- what they do that every time they make a payment earn credit and more more chances to win prizes.

We do lots of things to make it -- and I'm an educational but most importantly.
We want you to actually win David here -- -- thousand bucks yeah and he actually -- got five out of six number match on our.
Monthly jackpot so that was pretty call and we're excited we want someone to win the two million dollars and get a major reward.

Yet and you already spoke about -- two million dollar jackpot but to entice some more people to go to to say.

And even -- new car is that right.
Yes absolutely and if you I come check out there's new winners on say about every day -- and -- right no one's -- the two million dollar -- yet but there are people winning every day on all those other prizes so.
There's a Toyota Prius on there which shall save some money on your gas bills -- the future.
There's 50000 dollars scholarships so you're saving money for your kids to go to college -- could be a big how.
There's also 50000 dollars to pay off your student loans so there's some really great prizes and I think.
Lots of -- to keep it interesting and engaging.
David did you have any debt when you signed up.
That you wanted to get a -- on maybe some loans or something.
Student loans.
Yeah I do have some student loans and I also had.
Some credit card balances that I was carrying at a time.
OK and head and -- -- paying off.
I think.
Save up definitely -- does that -- gentle kind of daily reminder -- to.
You know saving money and pay down any -- that I had and because I was kind of science save up every day and put in my plays I would see.
You know -- contracts that balances that I have and it gives me -- feedback when I pay it down rampant credit cards and point of points that I can play with.
And how long has this site been up and running about six to eight months about that right.
That's right and what we launched it earlier in in the end of last year and went public and live with that in January and -- and how many.
We have.
Who we don't release exact numbers but we have tens of thousands of people from all across the United States I -- that you would recommend for people out there start paying down magnet.
I think the most important thing is out to consider small changes.
So where people can make cuts to things that are regular expenses -- you are have a big package on your cable bill and maybe you don't need all of those things.
Those kind to have it's definitely can make a shift.
And also wherever you can automate your word change your deposits so take things straight out your payroll and put -- to your credit card payment.
Or take it straight -- your payroll and put it into your savings so that you don't even think about it and it gets done for you every month that those are the kinds of suggestions that we think are really good plus refinancing debt.
-- right now for those people that can qualify for it can also be a good time because of interest rates being pretty low right now.
-- common question that people ask you.
When they're trying set either save money or get rid of -- -- little bit -- both.
I think the most common question right now is how to prioritize if I have both debt and not very much savings.
What should -- focus on first right and I think that in most important thing is start with your highest interest rate debt.
Focus -- and getting that debt down.
And then next focus on a short term emergency type of savings -- And that being a really important thing and then also make sure that you're doing the basics so that you don't get in a crisis -- and that is things like making sure that you have a small amount savings and you have you've put yourself in the position to you don't have to take -- -- -- again.
AIG founder of save up dot com David ten user and winner from save -- dot com we thank you so much for joining us had a beautiful day there in San Francisco.

well....i'm super busy this month...but i can wrangle together a Toronto application if i have a little help
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 6:40 pm
I've wished for a San Diego ARGFest for a long time, but my concerns have always been the rather poor public transportation (although not a big deal if we keep it downtown) and cost.
One of the ideas has always been to piggy-back ARGFest on top of, or right before, the San Diego Comic-Con. A trial of this idea was run a couple years ago, except ARGFest was in Portland and then a group of hearty souls made the trip to San Diego for Comic-Con the next weekend. Before considering repeating this, I would want to hear from those folks to see what their thoughts are on the matter - especially concerning hotel cost and transportation issues.
The pro side to this is: Having ARGFest one weekend, or even the M-W/Th prior to Comic-Con so that folks are in town for Comic-Con - this past year's Con greatly expanded it's presence away from the Convention Center into all but taking over the city. Several "viral campaigns" played out away from the Con - TRON (Flynn's Arcade), Dexter (the "kill room" plus all the SCVNGR points), the Rocket Puppeteers (Super 8, I believe)... etc. and it seems this is going to be even more prevalent next year.
So, just a couple thoughts to weigh interest...

I'll be making a play for KC again, because none of you have ever been here, so you don't really know what's best for you.

I'm going to have to recommend Seattle WA for next year's ARGFest. It's the scifi cap., home of Microsoft, FILLED with hardcore and casual gamers, and the center for some of the most progressive museums incorporating community voices and participation (who would most assuredly benifit from the conference)
Also, it would help me validate and work on my thesis idea.

Yeah, funny thing about that members-only restriction. It's not supposed to be there! We'll get that fixed up as soon as possible.

Hey eager beavers.
We just launched
for all of you waiting in anticipation for news about the 2011 version of the fest-con you know and love. We will be having some sort of online meeting for people interested in joining the ranks of the volunteers that run the good ship ARGFest, so watch that site for updates. Or, follow us on
. Or, follow us on
. Any way you slice it, the planning process has officially begun!

Since I'm soon going to be a Canadian, I gotta throw my vote in for Vancouver. I don't have any idea what it's like or what there is to do there, but hey, worth a shot.
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2010 9:43 pm
Oh I know. I'm just planning something big, for Argfest '11 and want as much time as possible to get everything set up/writhen/created and all.
Oh, and I want it to hurry up and get here. Someone get me a MaiTai.
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 3:54 pm
TC - you are kidding right, lol.... planning isn't even being done yet. We prob won't know the city or hotel until well after the new year. People have big forms to fill out first for city bids, and then scouting may need to be done, and blah blah blah blahbiddy blah more stuff.
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 11:19 am
I'd love to see argfest 2011 in Austin too, but if we do it around SxSW, it will be a nightmare logistically.
Whatever city hosts it, I hope to know sooner than later. The game we're writing depends on it. Oh, and hotel info too
Pretty please?
Anyone up for DC? Could be cool with all the monuments/museums for side-trips. Plus, I'm ready to do all the footwork needed since I'm local.

The theme parks are definitely expensive. I guess it's not really worth it if you don't live here. There's plenty to do in Florida without going to a theme park, though. Orlando is tourist heaven.

I might as well add that prices are going up for the parks (at least Disney's, anyway).
I should keep quiet... After all, I *do* want it in Florida!

There are plenty of tiki bars around Orlando. We also have theme parks and lots of other fun awesomeness. Wouldn't it be great to have a treasure hunt at Universal Studios?

He describes the wildest installation requests ever. Think Michael Jackson, Madonna and rattlesnakes.
By Tom LeBlanc
Originally Published: July 30, 2010
Brad Sundberg, owner, BSUN Media Systems
Each week, we aim to provide an informative – yet colorful – profile of one of your fellow CE pros. Interested in being featured yourself? See below.
How would you use Twitter to describe what your company does (140 character limit)?
Quality audio and video still matter to me. Like a great recipe, you can't go wrong with great ingredients and a lot of experience.
After you complete a project, what do you think your typical client tells his friend about the experience?
I hope it is something like what Lucy Buffett [Jimmy's sister] wrote after the work we did for her restaurant Lulu's on Alabama's Gulf shore:
"I humbly applaud Brad with a vociferous BRAVO BRAVO! Thank you for the absolutely impeccable job and rising to the occasion! You now are entitled to 'gumbo for life.'
"Last January, we decided to upgrade our audio-visual program and somehow found Brad! He did an expert job and was always willing to work cheerfully and diligently especially when we would 'make it up as we go' — a LuLu's trademark.
"Food and beverage establishments underestimate the importance of the quality of ambient music. We are hyper vigilant about how our music communicates an exceptional experience, especially since we have live entertainment every night of the year. It absolutely delights me to walk around the entire restaurant and property and to enjoy quality sound.
"I am completely confident in saying the quality of our audio-visual system actually increases my sales and makes a major contribution to the overall success of LuLu's."
What can CE pros learn from your company to make them think differently and run their business better?
When I built my Los Angeles office I spent a lot of money on a showroom. I had motorization, lighting control, top-of-the-line everything from cabinetry to carpet.
And guess what? No one came to it.
People are busy and are not likely to carve out 90 minutes to come sit in your showroom. I did 95 percent of my sales in my clients' homes and offices, bringing key pieces with me. When I opened the Fairhope location I refined this concept into what I call a "portable showroom."
I bring Crestron, SpeakerCraft and Kaleidescape into potential client's homes and let them try it for a few days on their schedule. I also bring it to architect, interior design and real estate offices for trainings. This approach builds a deeper trust and friendship with my clients because I am on their turf, not the other way around.
What trade tip can you offer your fellow CE pros?
Stay in touch with your client base. Write a newsletter, email them or call them periodically. And don't take yourself or your products too seriously.
What's the wildest request you've ever had for an installation?
That's a tough one. I built all of the music and video systems for Michael Jackson's Neverland Valley Ranch, plus did extensive work for Madonna, Tom Cruise, Elizabeth Taylor and Quincy Jones.
I have put music on bumper cars, horse drawn carriages, a steam train, a Gulf Stream jet and three custom motor coaches.
I have built a one-of-a-kind whole-house baby monitor for a celebrity in Brentwood, Calif.
I have built a fully mobile recording studio in rack cases for a touring musical artist.
I've folded TVs into ceilings, built a home with 60 zones of music control, even built a trio of matched recording studios in California, France and England for a producer with three homes.
And just last month we floated a 33-foot HDTV on barge for a secret Jimmy Buffett concert.
But perhaps the "wildest" was to provide a complete narrative and sound effect system for a snake barn. We recorded the narration off-site, but had to complete the installation above, below and around the snake enclosures with the snakes in them. I am not afraid of snakes, but being on a mechanic's creeper in the dark, installing a speaker below a cage of perhaps 25 rattlesnakes (we had a microphone in the cage so guests could hear the rattles through the glass) sort of stands out in my mind as being out of the ordinary.
What is your 3D strategy and do you think the technology will live up to the hype?
I may lose my CE Pro ribbon for this, but I am totally bored of 3D. I have no interest in it; I consider it gimmicky; and in the past 12 months I would estimate that only one of my clients has even mentioned 3D. Her comment was how much she would hate to have to wear glasses to watch TV.
As far as a strategy, if my clients want to play 8-track tapes through speakers in their swimming pool, I will make it happen. Likewise if they ask for 3D, 3D they will get … but I am not promoting either one.
What is your absolute favorite piece of audio demo material?
Quincy Jones' "The Places You Find Love."
In my previous overlapping career, I was a technical director on several major albums including Jones' Back On The Block. When you work on a song like "Places" in the studio for 16 months, you get a pretty good idea of how it should sound, and that comes in very handy when I tune systems.
My good friend Bruce Swedien bent the meters on that song. It goes from a whisper to scream and back to a whisper. Huge drums, huge bass, huge choir, Chaka and Siedah vocals with Quincy driving the train! That makes for a big song.
My other go-to song is "Secret Silken World" by David Baerwald. It is dark and warm and masterfully recorded.
What is your absolute favorite piece of video demo material?
I am such a dork with my video demos. Most CE Pro readers will dismiss me right now.
I don't like loud explosions with trucks and body parts flying over my head. (Neither do most of my female clients, and they often control the checkbook.) For rich colors I show Finding Nemo. For a jaw-dropping scene I show Step Into Liquid where they surf 66-foot waves 100 miles off the coast of California. I have never played that scene without people stopping what they are doing and just staring at it in disbelief.
What is something most people don't know about you?
When I was about nine years old my dad gave me a box of wires, batteries, motors, switches, buzzers and electronic parts for Christmas. It was the best gift ever, and I was hooked. Thanks again, Dad.
Michael Jackson, Madonna and Quincy Jones are on Brad Sundberg's past clients list.

Where's a good place to find out about all the external parties in advance? We're there for a good few days on each side of the actual Sonar festival.

but if people are up for hooking up at some stage over the weekend i'll be out there with logos, sir loris and my g/f ...
should be a great weekend .. nice tunes .. nice weather .. nice football

i know we all love subvert central but as we all know most spaniards only speak and write spainsh, so check out www.bajopression.com for the main forum in barcelona for dnb/jungle/whatever happenings.
the anti sonar is usually right next door to the night parks, if u go to the venue that everyone will go to you will hear the trashy rave going on right next door. tons of jungle.hardcore gabba and travellers. fun stuff if u didn't care to go to the sonar nights.
anyway my party is on sunday when there is no sonar soo, if u are still around come check us out.
i'll be at sonar wearing my "DUMB n BASE" bbs tshirt passing flyers around so i hope to see u guys. It would be nice to meet some of you, btw im pretty scary looking but im really a nice guy

If you're not good at math or analytical thinking you should stay away from this career.
