Updawg

Scene: Center for Digital Storytelling office, 12 PM

Intern Zoe: I'm really hungry, do you guys have plans for lunch?
Me: No, not really, but I'm ready to make some. Laura?

(Laura, realizing she is being addressed, takes off her headphones)

Intern Zoe: (to Laura) What are your lunch plans?
Laura: Umm, well, they would be to acquire sustenance, ingest said sustenance, and uh...to feel satisfied.

(all laugh)

Intern Zoe: I think some udon sounds good. Are you guys up for that?
Me: Udon? Do I know what that is?
Intern Zoe: It's like a noodle soup, I think you had it at that Japanese restaurant we went to with Joe.
Me: Oh, at first I thought you said updawg, like (sniffs), "Man, it smells like updawg in here"!
Intern Zoe: What's updawg?

(I am shocked that this has worked, but also overjoyed)

Me: (head swivel) NOT MUCH, WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?

(explosion of laughter)

Hil. Arious. Looks like things at CDS are pretty cool...

I just visited the Media Arts Center of San Diego and they're getting set to launch 12 new statewide digital storytelling stations with public libraries STATEWIDE!

Their Operations Director is going to be flying around the state doing train-the-trainer workshops with staff at said libraries.

do you know if MACSD is aware of the new CDS story portal? Is MACSD aware of the Stories For Change website?

Y'all should hook him up if he stops in - his name is Patric Stillman. Superfriendly.
