Greetings... I can't believe my eyes to read that there is another XSI
user in the DC area. We use XSI here at the gov. agency I work for. DC
may not a hotspot for cg jobs, but I do know of several folks working
for the gov. or gov. contractors doing 3D work. Unfortunately for them,
most of their work is top secret, so if they look for jobs in the "real
world" they would not be able to show their work. They use Autodesk
products which give me the impression that it's the most commonly used
software in the gov. Besides Joey from NASA (hi Joey), I've only met one
other person so far who uses XSI for the gov. but lost contact with him.

We'll have to get together for happy hour...

Personally, I've not found it too easy finding XSI related work.  But 
then, I'm in the Washington, D.C. area as my staging area, which isn't 
exactly a hotspot for anything cg related.  I also suffer from a mere 
one year of feature experience.  Unfortunately, it seems that on the 
east coast, and in the USA in general, XSI is about as widely used in 
production as there are flags on the moon.
