This year, the FITC Toronto theme is 'thinking outside the lines'.  As they put it:

Since our first experiments with crayons as a child, we have all been programmed and taught to color inside the lines. What happens when we break free from the standard, the recommended, the known way of doing things, and instead sketch out our own maps? Be it in the technical, creative, or business area, change is the only constant. And FITC Toronto 2009 is a celebration of doing things differently.

To start you thinking outside the lines, FITC organizers have generously extended the following offer: promo code PROVIDENCEFUG is good for a 20% discount on all delegate passes (student, festival, the "works"), which can be purchased through the online store at http://www.fitc.ca

Love flash?  Love beer?  These interests are no longer mutually exclusive.

Our first meeting is tonight from 7-8pm in RISD's ProvWash building at 2 College St. (at the base of Waterman and Angell). We'll be talking about what's new in Flash CS4.  Remember to bring the PIN with you to enter in RISD's security system: 12098.  We look forward to seeing you there!

We have found a venue for the first meeting (thanks RISD!) and will meet on 2/18 at 7pm. There is a bug with the site causing the meeting time to show up as 4pm Pacific Time, so please note that it is 7pm Eastern Time! Adobe is aware of the bug. Until it is fixed, there is a workaround you can do to see the correct time. Log into your profile and go to Account under Settings, and choose "GMT -05:00 Eastern Time" as your time zone.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Providence Flash User Group homepage. We are just getting started, and hope to post an event soon (we're looking for a venue). In the interim, please leave a message to say hello, and I'll add you to the group.
