Safe Journeys!
Well, as the lights have dimmed of AACTfest '09: winner's have been announced, bags have been packed, and hopefully not too many people got patted down in airport security. Yes, it's all over but the recycling, and we'll keep posting pictures from AACTFest '09 and keep the blog going till the fall. But for now, we wish you all pleasant journeys, and we'll see you in Venice, FL next year, and then on to Rochester, NY!
