Just got invited to this Microsoft Research conference, dedicated to “formulating the agenda for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in the next decade and beyond.”

Seems at first blush to be a little bit of a harder-core academic HCI crowd than I’m used to running with, and while, again, I’m honored to have been invited, I wonder if I’ll know anybody there. Do me a favor and drop me a line if you’re going, or know anybody who’s planning on doing so? I’m going to need somebody to split a pot of sangria with.

Because, man, the venue sure looks lovely, and I’d hate to think of that space not being put to good convivial use. : . )
