A couple of things: from October 10th to 14th I'm going to be in Montreal for 4S, so I can't help lead discussion on the 10th or 11th. Also, I would love to play games, but New Media/Old Media is the thing on this list I'd like to read most, so I'd rather not have to choose between them....
Thanks for the info, Ryan. We can work around you and Kelly's schedule for the Continuous City discussion. And it sounds like New Media/ Old Media might be higher priority than game-playing, so we can discuss w/ the group.
New Media/Old Media is what I'm also most interested in. (Though games are always fun.) If no one has strong interest in leading the discussion of the Chun, I'd like to do it. I imagine that more than one person could also be responsible for leading?
