My reign as MAX has definitely ended... I was not asked to be a speaker at MAX this year. I'm not sure yet if I'll even attend. (I'll post again if I am going.)
Funny thing happened though a couple days ago. Telling the story to a friend made me think that I ought to share the story on my blog...
A lady called, gave her name and said she's with Adobe and wanted to invite me to MAX. So I responded, "You mean to be a speaker?"
She responded something along the lines of, "Well I'm calling to invite you to MAX." Confused by this I responded, "Ok, so I don't understand... are you calling to give me a free pass for some reason or to ask me to be a speaker?"
To which she said "no I'm calling to invite you to MAX. You attended last year and we're offering an early bird special."
I just couldn't help but crack up laughing. I had to explain it to her because the poor thing was just as confused by my responses as I'd been with her "invitation".
Oh well, maybe next year! :-)

You guys have to go! I finally get to go and now you two might not be there? :(
I still don't know for certain, but it isn't looking hopeful right now...
I wish I could say we'd see you there! ~Angela
If you haven't made the switch from Freehand to Illustrator yet because you've been putting off learning a different application, there's help. Today lynda.com released Migrating from Freehand to Illustrator. There are a few free movies you can check out, but to get them all you'll need to subscribe to the lynda.com Online Training Library™ because this title is an exclusive; there won't be a CD.

fwiw, Adobe's FAQ claims that Freehand is / will be supported and developed. Common sense says Adobe won't maintain 2 drawing apps indefinitely, but, well, just sayin'.

Thanks Lars. It seems a fair guess to assume that Illustrator will eventually replace Freehand. It just makes a lot of sense. ~Angela

A shameless plug. Oh wait, that's Dan! ;-)
Lol... Dan and I have been working for lynda.com for awhile now, so yeah it is a shameless plug to some degree. ~Angela
