Something new! We get to meet in the basement! Will there be ghosts? Demons? Echos? Spiders? Scary florescent lighting? We’ll see. (Well, I won’t see because I’ll be in Rhode Island at a wedding. Sorry. — David St.)

Okay. So the scheduled Open Studio happens to fall right on top of SpringCon. That means attendance will probably be light. And that means not so much talking! Fewer distractions mean that you will probably be able to get a lot of work done on your Lutefisk Sushi submission! Nice.
