[CREATE] LGM2012 in Argentina?

[Pete Ippel - hypermodern.net]

Speaking Spanish and learning about other cultures are some of my favorite
things, studied from 1993-now. I can give my talk in the native language!  I
will help organize pre-festival if Spanish/English communication is an
issue...I'm not a real-time translation expert (like you have had in the
booths) so if assistance is needed from an tech/artistic/culture/day-to-day
standpoint, I'm game.  ...and really excited.

All my best,
Pete
