Hey, it's not THAT cold here!  I bet all the real high latitude Scratchers (Canada, Russia, Chile, Alaska, etc. ) think of Maine as a warm place!

I have to agree with Paddle2See; It was an amazing conference, and an amazing place. If you ever needed motivation for studying hard and getting good SAT scores while at the same time embracing the Liberal Arts, drop into the Media Lab and take a tour. Unlike where I went to school, where grad students cluster in dark corners of a brick building tabulating heat transfer coefficients, the Media Lab is a hive of talented people working in lego-lined regions separated only by transparent partitions, and where you may be called upon at any moment to demo your idea.

I also learned about a place called RISD, which also looks cool, and which apparently emphasizes making purple dinosaurs out of legos while reciting zen koans about simplicity and Swiss Army knives. I may have misunderstood that last part, however...

I agree with you all... I had a fantastic time and it was really fun to meet a lot of folks face to face. A big Thank You from me to the Scratch team!

It was the best conference I've ever been to!    And well...the only one. I mean, nearly hundreds of photo shots, get to test the...oh, nevermind, 4 INTERVIEWS and meeting everyone. JSO, his brother and parents, MyRedNeptune and her dad and me and my dad went to a restaruant and was very...scary    (MRN knows what I mean...lol).

It was great and I miss some of you already    , but now I have Gmail so I can talk with MRN and MasterOfMac so far...but that dosen't matter because I can talk heeeeeeeeeeeeere! 

Thank you MIT! Thank you for the best conference ever! ^^

lol, well hopefully next year i get to experience that

The conference was really nice - thank you Scratch Team 

If some young user would think "everyone was able to go to the conference, and I was not", please note that there where like 300 participants, and maybe 10 kids 

It was great meeting all of you at the conference. It definitely made us feel that all the work we put into Scratch is worth it.

NOOOO! I didn't see you!    I wanted to see you so badly!

lol. yeah you did. i was the one that showed you and myredneptune the scratchboard program where the moths on the screen moved to where the light sensor was held...

i guess next year we should have the option of putting our user names on the name tags as well as our RL names.

Woah. How could Sonicpops not remember that? I would love to see that, but I didn't go…
