I had a quick look through the Game Design track but to be honest  
there didn't seem to be much that was particularly relevant. There  
are a few interesting things in the GDC Mobile sessions in Monday and  
Tuesday, but I think most of the stuff during the actual conference  
will only be tangentially related to ARGs.

BTW, three people from Mind Candy will be at GDC next week; myself,  
Adam Martin and Michael Smith. We'll all be at the ARG SIG meeting on  
Thursday at 5:30pm, and we'll no doubt be circulating around during  
the rest of the week. If you'd like to meet up, just shoot me an email.

About the dinner on Friday - I think it's a great idea and I'd  
definitely like to go, but please bear in mind that a lot of people  
will be going to the Video Games Live concert starting at 8pm.

Hope to see you all next week! We're going to be in town from Sunday,  
so I'm looking forward to a lot of chat about the future of ARGs and  
their potential.

Adrian
