I'll be there. Michele (from Toolfarm) and I will be teaching one of the AE classes (Friday), doing a mix of motion graphics and vfx from current projects. I'll also be teaching an Expressions class (Sunday).

 

All of the screenings I went to last year were awesome. And don't miss the Friday night mixer at Bridges Media. Get there early as KGB tends to drink all the beer.

I admit(step 1), I have a drinking problem :-)

 

I don't know if I'll have time to attend any of the other events, but I will be at Bridges for sure.

Last year had a good turnout, lots of people from lots of mograph shops and several agencies, we even had some people from EA stop by.
