Indy Hurt's live taping of the VerySpatial podcast in Las Vegas during AAG
The hosts of the VerySpatial podcasts are Jesse Rouse, Sue Bergeron, and Frank LaFone; from the Department of Geology and Geography at West Virginia University. When they are not working on their dissertations which are all nearly done, they post a wide variety of discussions on geography and geospatial technologies on their website. They often feature live interviews for their pod casts when they are on the road. On Sunday, March 22nd, Indy Hurt was invited to be a guest host for their Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting podcast in Las Vegas, Nevada. The topic of discussion was "Technology Moving Geography Forward", which addressed the issue from the perspective of industry, research, and education. The podcast of the interview can be heard using the mp3 player below.

UCSB Geography Department Graduate Fundraisers for AAG Party
Grad students Micah Brachman, Gargi Chaudhuri, and Indy Hurt are organizing a UCSB Geography Department
“Event” in conjunction with this year's Annual AAG Meeting in Las Vegas, March 22-27. “Due to budget
cuts, we've taken it upon ourselves to organize several fundraisers on campus. Look out for us while
we hold bake sales, car washes, and auctions over the next few weeks.” The “event” will be a cross
between a departmental party and an alumni reunion and will be held at the Peppermill Fireside Lounge
(next to the Riviera Hotel) on March 25th, 5:30pm to 8:30pm: “You can expect a quite memorable 70's
theme event - all polyester is welcome.”
