We’ll have to have coffee or something…
I just hope Midnight Madness is better
than it was in Miami—I couldn’t believe
I stood in line for a ticket to that. It was fun
the year before in Tampa, but that
Fear Factor thing was **so** fratboy and
disgusting.
Other than the hideous weather and the
fact that the official hotel that was "walking
distance to the convention center" (not in the
pouring rain with books and a laptop, bud!)
it was my only disappointment.
You’d get to the convention center, either
sweaty from the heat or wet from the rain,
and the average temperature of the classrooms
was about 50 degrees, so you were cold and wet…
After day 1, I cabbed it and stuffed a sweatshirt
in my laptop case.

I live in outside of Orlando during the winter months and will be there as well!

I was in Miami in October—and will be in Orlando for PSW East in the fall— this was my third year at PSW and it really is great.

I have also been a member for a few years. I think that its an
invaluable
organization and has a lot to offer. Photoshop User Magazine is a
"must
have." The tutorials in the mag are able to be done on the computer by downloading the source pics from the members area and following along
with
the examples.
Most Barnes and Noble Book stores carry Photoshop User magazine. Pick
it
up
first and go through it. If you find that it is a tool you could
definitely
use than join up because there is more to be had from the organization
than
just the mag.
This is probably the only organization that I have belonged to == the
other
was AITP (Association of Internet Technology Professionals) == that I
would
never quit.
Also, NAPP is now accredited. Which means that you can earn credits
just
from going to their one-day seminars. Also they sponsor the PhotoShop
World
Conference and Expo. This year its in San Fran and is an incredible
exhibit
with 3-days worth of classes involving every aspect of
Photoshop/Illustrator/GoLive and Acrobat that you can imagine.

Not a lot of "community" but the website and discount to Photoshop World (which I wouldn’t miss) the mag
and various and sundry other freebies and discounts
means you’ll get more than your investment back.
Colin Smith, Al Ward and Matt Koslowski’s tutorials
on the site alone make it a great place to visit.
I’m not as delighted by the Dave Cross QT video tutorials because they are fun to watch, but not as detailed or (IMO)
thoughtful as the ones where someone had to think
through a process, document it, and write real text.

Does anyone know about this organization? Is it worth joining for
the
serious amateur? How is their magazine?
