1:00 am sunday morning. Project Horseshoe 2008 is coming to an end.

I can’t talk about the specifics of what happened because of the local “code of secrecy” but I will say this: where else could I get to act as a snooty french sooth in a play by Steve Meretzky (wikipedia)? :)

PH is an experience that leaves me highly energized. In fact, this year, I came to realize how starved I am for this type of interaction back in France. The game community in the US is much more concentrated, there are so many more people interested and really thinking about design here. And at PH, not only do I get fantastic mental stimulation, I’m also at home like nowhere else. I feel close to everyone and there’s a pervasive spirit of playfulness that makes me happy.

This is my tribe.

Is it really “acting” when you play a character as close to your natural self as a snooty French sooth?

Well said. “Tribe” is an appropriate word.
