In two weeks, the Platform International Animation Festival will commence in Portland Oregon. Amid and I will both be there, and I urge you to attend as well. We’ve both been asked to host several panels and screenings, and we are happy to do it. I’ll even be a juror for the television animation competition. The festival will have four venues with separate tracks of programming – all of it worthwhile. We will be posting several times in the next ten days about some the incredible events planned (or you can explore the programming grids now). First up, here are the two panels I’ll be moderating:

I’ll be there! Any chance for a to get together for a “Brew”
aw damn, I’ll be out of town for the H-B talk.
I’d love to go to Amid’s Design Daze ones, but I’ll have to find out if there’s a way to go without paying for an entire $50-a-day pass.
I mean DAMN, we’re called poor struggling artists for a reason O_o
Jerry, when the festival’s over could you post a list here of what was shown at the Basil Wolverton tribute? The only Wolverton footage I know to exist is a home movie, and I’d love to know what else is out there.
I’ll be there from Monday to Thursday only, so I’ll miss these weekend events, but look forward to everything else!
Update: for locals attending, I emailed Platform and asked if individual panel tickets would be available and they said yes. Probably from the Portland Centre for Performing Arts during the festival, about $10 each.
I went to the Wolverton exhibition on First Thursday, it was very cool.
