The SF Complex is located about 2 blocks from the Santa Fe Depot Railrunner stop for those of you interested in catching the train up and back.

I am looking for someone or a company who would like to "sponsor" the coffee and pastries. If interested please send me an email for details.

Andy:

Flying Star is just opening its doors in Santa Fe on May 4th. Perhaps they would like to sponsor the coffee & pastries - of provide a tray of pastries at their location as an incentive to build business.

Catherine
Catherine: Thanks for your suggestion.

All: First, as mentioned previously, is anyone interested in "sponsoring" this month's Open Coffee by coordinating coffee & pastries and putting out some of your own marketing materials in return? You could probably use Catherine's suggestion and ask the Santa Fe Flying Star if they want to pitch in the coffee and pastries. Let me know ASAP if you are interested in this excellent marketing opportunity!

Second, Stephen Guerin, one of the founders of the SF Complex asked me to note the following interesting event that will take place the same day at the Complex on May 6th. Here are the details (Stephen has described it as an informal event):

TITLE: Art + Code
SPEAKER: Dr. Woohoo (aka Drew Trujillo)
TIME: 11:30a-12:30p
LOCATION: SFComplex Commons, 632 Agua Fria Street.

Art + Code
Dr. Woohoo will be at the Santa Fe Complex on May 6th at 11:30 for a show-n-tell session exploring how he – and you – can generate artwork by hacking into Illustrator, Photoshop and Maya via code. As the result of some early mash-ups within Illustrator, Woohoo was invited to work behind the scenes at Adobe on a series of tools that simplified and enhanced the process of driving the Creative Suite from Flash based content. Based on this experience, Woohoo will explore how he connects the dots between ExtendScripts, Mel, Adobe AIR applications, Flash plug-ins, openFrameworks and Maya, Illustrator and Photoshop in order to redefine what is creatively possible. Tutorials on how-to connect the dots between these toolkits and applications will be distributed to participants.

Bio
Dr. Woohoo (translation: serious fun) is a New Mexico-based artist and programmer. Woohoo sculpts the form of his generative artwork and then harnesses natural phenomena (wind, gravity, etc.) and music, through algorithms, to drive his brushstrokes and composition. With a DIWO (Do It With Others) attitude, he develops color, paint and visual effects applications using ExtendScripts, Adobe AIR, Flash plug-ins and openFrameworks applications and rather than recreate existing features and functionality, Woohoo integrates his tools with applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya and Painter. Woohoo's artwork and applications have traveled all over the world including: Singapore, Seoul, Russia, Lucania (Italy), Toronto, Brighton UK, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Seattle, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Santa Fe, in Communication Arts magazine, IDn, Photoshop Users magazine and online at Adobe's Design Gallery, MoCo Loco, Layers and Moo.com. Woohoo has/will presented/ing at Art and Code, FITC, Flash on Tab, FlashBelt, Flash on the Beach, Adobe Max, WDDC, ArtCast, Cinemathque, File-Rio, File, Best in the SW, File, Lucania Film Festival, DomeFest, The OutVideo, Visual Music Marathon, MegaBytes 6, Futuresonic, I/WE: Case Studies (SCAD), SXSW, Flash Forward, NAB, OFFF and AIGA.

For more information on Dr. Woohoo, you can find him at DrWoohoo.com as well as see a recent review and video of his recent show-n-tell session(s) at FITC and here (check SF Complex schedule for link).
