ACB 2008 (Louisville, KY) / VISION 2008 (Montreal, CAN)

The July 4th weekend 2008 and the week after found me with my good friends and fellow members of the American Council of the Blind at its annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky--I presented a hands-on workshop on the ins-and-outs of creating audio description, presented one of my audio described films ("The Empire Strikes Back"), and met with ACB's board about an exciting audio description project. I left the gathering a few days early to present a paper on Audio Description as a part of VISION 2008, an international, every-three-years gathering being held for 2008 in Montreal.
