I just got the registration package for SIGGRGAPH '91. It seems that they have
decided not to have a bowl this year. Does anyone know why not? Is there
someone we can all write to to try to talk them into changing their minds? The
bowl last year was one of the best parts of SIGGRAPH '90 and it sure would be
fun to see another one.

Sounds like some of the code I have written...... 8-)

We just saw Pat Hanrahan (who organized it last year) and he said that hopefully one will occur next year. Pat joked that generating questions and organizing things and whatnot was more time consuming than any real work he did that year. I can imagine: questions like "What are the 3 most heavily referenced SIGGRAPH papers by other SIGGRAPH papers?" must take a heck of a lot of page flipping and counting, and that's just one question.

At Siggraph Bowl there are no losers, just people who disgraced themselves in front of thousands, and sorely disappointed their friends, colleagues and admirers. And maybe Canada is slightly larger than Ithaca (if you inlude Yukon and the Northwest Territories), but look at how many Siggraph papers come from Ithaca compared to from Canada (I won't tell you how many, it might come up on the next Siggraph Bowl).
