Richard Bartle will be speaking in town next Thursday.
We are plumb out of professional development funds, and this is only incidental to my job anyway, but damn, I wish I could go (but don't wish it so much that I can pony up $55 of my own money).
But man, this is tempting. Bartle not only created MUDs, but wrote possibly the my favorite article ever about gaming (and I read Bogost and McGonigal). So hoping this makes it online.
