Hey guys,<BR>
Sorry it’s taken so long to reply. <BR>
<BR>
Devin: Unfortunately, I think it’s too late to add any information on Punchatz. <BR>
<BR>
Andrew: That’d be great if you could post something about it on the blog! Also, we have some images, and hope to put a few up soon, followed by a more comprehensive gallery of exhibit images so that those who don’t travel through Austin will have a chance to see what it looks like.<BR>
<BR>
I’ll definitely let the list know when those images will be available online.<BR>
<BR>

Make sure to grab some photos of the event if you can :) and we should<BR>
start the record of exhibitions going:<BR>

- yes, I should do a basic page at some point. Problem is I've only been<BR>
to one in the last year so others will have to write things up and take<BR>
photos :)<BR>
