Re: IxDA NYC (4/29) Interaction08 redux: Sketching and storytelling

Here's your reminder to sign up for the IxDA NYC's Interaction08 redux,
which is on Tuesday 4/29 at 6:30pm.

We've added drama and business value as themes, and drawn a nice arc among
the featured subjects. Light refreshments will be provided.

We'll be finalizing the attendee list on Tuesday morning, so please reply by
the end of the day Monday if possible.

Best wishes,

Bruce
