From now through the end of May i’m going on something of an epic multi-part travel and speaking “tour†in New York, Germany, and Austria.  Mostly I’m talking about the development of Gamma, and how things seem to be coming together right now for a semi-movement of stylish and creative short-form gaming in public/social spaces (formerly/formally known as arcades). Maybe I will see you at one of these stops!  The public (free/cheap) events are in bold. I’ll update this as I gather more details to fill in for each.
