[Grogospeak] Last reminder - Advanced Photoshop Lessons, Today 2pm 1-135

[David Templeton]

Hey Grogoians,

Today at 2pm in 1-135 are advanced photoshop lessons, taught by yours 
truly.  There is a slight chance they wont be in 1-135... but there WILL 
be a sign there telling you where they are :)  They would only be moved 
a couple rooms down, dont worry...

Don't forget the other stuff today, as copied from Alice's email:

5 PM: FROZEN YOGURT arrives!!!
6 PM: Movie Screening in our very own TV room (you forgot it was there, 
didn't
you?) of the film "Helvetica" - a cool movie about a very cool font. 
Designers
take note!
7:30 PM: Film Scanning! Help amazing photos make it into the book - this 
is a
crucial part of book production.
