Utrecht summer school for researchers in Games and Play.

I'm one week in to this summer school and how refreshing and slightly bizarre it is to stumble into this highly concentrated community of Gamers with Brains.  Really, who'd have thunk it....?   phd students and professors from around the world with a shared passion for playing games, who combine being very down to earth, super-friendly and extremely well-read and articulate.  Yesterday I had a five-hour conversation with Argentinian Federico on the relation of evolutionary psychology and post-structuralism to the study of fine art and gaming.  I am not alone!
