Artist Training in Daegu

Greetings from lovely Daegu, South Korea, about 200 miles southeast of Seoul, near Busan. We are conducting an artist training seminar here, thanks to our hosts the Daegu Digital Industry Promotion Agency (DIP). As we all expect, Jeremiah is doing a GREAT job of leading the seminar, and the attendees seem to really be enjoying it.

We have about two dozen attendees, and it has been a pretty interactive session. The session is ongoing even as I post this entry. We had 60 attendees in Shanghai earlier this week, and of course this size group lends itself to a lot of interactivity and participation.

Consider this, though: In Shanghai, a city with a population of 19 million, we drew 60 attendees (granted, we sadly had to turn some away as we reached capacity), but in Daegu, a population of just 2.5 million, we're drawing one-third of that. One-third the attendees from a city one-eighth the size! Congratulations to John (organizer at DIP, not me) for bringing in such a great crowd. Every attendee, too, is a Gamebryo pre-customer, so we're building pipe!

Perhaps selfishly, I'm looking forward to a good Korean dinner tonight! :-)
