[Purple-Blurb] Spring 2008 reading/presentation schedule

[Nick Montfort]

Purple blurbers, here is our Spring 2008 schedule.

We have a day-long interactive fiction event to start us off at the end of 
IAP, on January 29. People are welcome to attend any part of this day of 
group IF interaction, which will end with a Q&A session with three IF 
authors.

Then, over the course of the semester, we will hear from four digital 
media creators who have devised, among many other things, doll-based 
interfaces to text for use in performance, digital documentary of personal 
testimony, writing for machinima, and interactive computational poems.
