News from the Road: February 12, 2007

When word got out that "Slecht Stukje" (that strange Dutch term Judge Richard Van Tol's people used the other day meant, basically, the crap that falls out of the pan when you are cooking something (the Dutch, it seems, don't believe in the 3 second rule...).

Patrons of the Nashville coffee shop that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman frequent, other much less famous patrons reported to us that this time it was Nicole consoling Michelle, who was just released from the hospital (again) with "exhaustion."

Nicole, trying to get past the paparazzi after their coffee chat, just stopped and said "You know? Michelle is one of the bravest women I know and your constant stalking of shows that you have absolutely no respect for the craft of accessible game design. At Michelle's urging, I am now considering a role in a -- as yet unnamed -- accessible game project. For Richard to have been so crass as to suggest that Michelle is merely a flash "out of" the pan insults all women in gaming"

Cafe barista, Joan Landser, overheard Michelle talking on her mobile (Was it to Matthew McConaughey?) saying: "Nicole is my rock."
