This is a quick recap of the party. There was all that is listed below, plus cake! And balloons!
Drawing Robots!
People at the party created various kinds of drawing robots that worked away through the night to create some great drawings. And some people decided to draw robots!

Presentations!
Because I was helping people make robots I missed most of the lectures and presentations happening in the screening room, but they sounded fun. I did get a few glimpses of the ACAD students doing *something* with papers and yelling. I did get to see Carl and Josh and Grant doing *something* with a keyboard, cameras and the projector and I did see Paul Woodrow briefly as he was giving his lecture. So much going on!
Tea!
I did get a chance to have some tea with Shelley Ouellet. You needed to bring some tarts to get tea and I (like almost everyone else) brought butter tarts. At least mine had a bit of coconut in them to be a bit different. Vicki had some great lemon and raspberry tarts. Yum! The tea was fantastic. It was a nice place to come and hang out and chat.
Animation!
I made a crappy animation using those markers that change colour. I coloured with the blank one, then coloured on top and my drawing was slowly exposed by the scribbles. Overall, it did not work as well as I’d hoped since the lines were blurred, but fun all the same.
When did this happen? January 15, 2011.
