Haha I live in Eugene Tim. Oh yes, I e-mailed you earlier and you never responded. I tested your game a few years back (and did a lousy job :p) I may show up to this.

Ack - my apologies if I missed your Email. I have GraceWorks & CGDC domain (and others) to try to keep up with. Please resend to Tim@cgdc.org. I'd be dead without mailwasher.net to help clean all the spam I get, but sometimes good messages don't get through.

CGDC08 was a success! A lot of new faces as established teams were hard at work on titles.
Guitar Praise was announced! And the Visions Team have released a racing game -> http://VisionsGame.com
We are trying to nail down dates quickly for next year with the top contender being June 18-20 (and a back up date of Aug 6-8).

@Tim: This is the first I've heard of a Christian GDC, but good on you guys for addressing this important aspect of the industry. I can't go to any, (I live in New Zealand, haha!), but all the best with them!
