[games_access] Michelle is back

[d. michelle hinn]

Operation went fine -- the pneumonia is the most annoying part 
though! I guess surgery in the dead of winter is not the best 
time...what can you do?

I'm caught up on the list -- not too much activity -- you've been in 
self-imposed exile for quite a while! ;) Welcome back though!! Agreed 
some good finds.

I'll be needing some help getting the annual GDC stuff together -- 
fliers, etc. We're looking for funding for all of this and it sounds 
like everything is falling through so it might be some out of pocket 
expense, which I have none to speak of. So if anyone has some REALLY 
solid leads on funding for things, let me know. We have absolutely no 
money to speak of and some very critical need. It would have been 
nice to buy a pass or two for a few extra to go to GDC but that's WAY 
out the window.

We basically have one SIG talk (anyone else giving another talk? We 
will include it on the flier!), which is on the top ten/basic 101 
stuff (they nixed all successful sessions including a follow up to 
last years REALLY well received Accessibility Arcade -- next year 
we'll have to look into buying that session with sponsor money if we 
can get any). So I'm imagining a two sized half sheet flier with the 
top ten or some variation of our past flier and then the session info 
in bold on the other side. I'm thinking black text on a light 
background this year -- the white on black was hard to read last 
year. No one's fault -- just wasn't as eye catching and the print 
didn't stand out when it wasn't printed in the red as it had been in 
Brighton.
