Interaction '08 : Parties, Pictures, People
By Core Jr - Feb 10, 2008
Saturday night was the official "party" night with masses shuttled to SCAD's Gulfstream Center (where the ID magic happens!), all decked out in blue and green lights and dotted with ongoing and completed student projects...oh, and the students themselves. Usability professionals shed their nerdy layers to release their inner beasts on the Rock Band Xbox stage while onlookers cheered on, sipping electric blue mystery cocktails (too sweet). After downing some more drinks and munching on weird hors d'oeuvres, the crowd mozied on down to the Adaptive Path after-party in downtown Savannah, where everyone forewent UX chit-chat for some darts, pool, and beer.
