update from Alfred

Hello everyone. Animators. Pals.

My name is still Alfred Muchilwa. I am animator from
the aa2.0 series... and im off to Stuttgart, Germany
tommorrow fro the screening of TOTO's JOURNEY!

Seriously, up till a few hours ago I wasn't really
sure that i'd make the trip. I had to hustle left
right and center to get money for the plane ticket.
Just managed to make the amount needed an hour,or so
ago. But it was worth it (speaking in future tense
here)

So catch up with all the action on www.itfs.de. In
addition, I will be attending a special effects
festival called fmx (www.fmx06.de). I want to see all
those folks from ILM and DREAMWORKS animation in
person. Apparently Nina Paley will be there too! (most
o' y'all don't know her, she was on AA 1.0.

After that, well I go to 2 other cities and run my ass
back home.

some more research on African animation...

If anyone is going to be in Texas over the month of July, look out for the SAS Conference, which this year features a paper on Iranian Animation by Hosseini-Shakib, from Farnham, Surrey...
