As one of the people who is not going, but announcing, permit me to
explain a couple of things. 1) We Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH are specifically
asked to post world-wide because there is a lot of development in the
Bay Area.  2) we actually have members in places like New York,
Los Angeles, etc.  Hopefully, you will see results of some of our
monthly meetings in an upcoming Computer Graphics [the quarterly, if
Rick Beach will still talk to me ;) I've been busy with supercomputers
more than graphics].
Turns out, that the letter preceding your TIGSV came from MCC in Austin, and
I accepted that fellow's work (H/W) and he is thus invited to ski and
talk graphics.  If something useful comes out of this lark (generally,
not this example specifically), more than simple discussion and fun,
the rest of the world will know about it.  Just one of the nice
advantages of being in Santa Clara (especially if people are really nerdy
 8) by enjoy skiing as well).

Remember that Jell-O is a trademark of General Foods.  Sorry, in joke for
graphics people who went to Anaheim for relevance to comp.graphics:
gratuitous reference: Computer Graphics, v 21, n4, page 73. ;)

Lastly, I would never go spring skiing. 8)

Another gross generalization from

  "Mailers?! HA!", "If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology."

Actually Erik Fair, Sol Wold, and I rented a condo on the weekends
before and after Usenix in Denver and had a great time skiing,
matching faces to network address, and the Association should have
more larks like that (unofficial).  I've actually thought about
doing it again as a Usenet ski trip (Everybody get plane tickets, etc.)
But this is getting away from graphics and more to computers and unix
specifically.  And skiing. Some day.
