siggraph mograph user group
My buddy Gil decided that he wanted to have a motion graphics meet up at Siggraph, and would I spread the word around....
...between some emails and special thanks to Justin's post on Motionographer, 100s have emailed me asking about the meetup... Here's what I know... it's on Tuesday! (see you there). There is no special website for the event... so spread the word; if you're in Los Angeles, drop in.
Contact me if you have questions about sponsorship (RE: SIGGRAPH MOGRAPH USER / GIL)
