A beardy gathering

Anyone attending GDC is welcome to come join our blob, err, blog gathering. TN authors, posters and lurkers--as well as members of DiGRA--will be meeting on Thursday, March 10. Gather at 7 pm at the IGDA booth on the 3rd floor (I'm told this makes sense when you get there).

Beards optional.

By the way, the resulting blob of indeterminate size will need a place to go within walking distance. An early favorite is to head over to the Sony Metreon. Food, drink, games. Mix one dose industry, one dose ivory tower. Stir. If anyone knows a better place nearby that can accomodate a crowd of 5-50 hungry, thirsty and--dare I say it?--gamey personages, please do post suggestions here.

Hiya. I'm not attending GDC this year, but live just north of SF. Might I also recommend The Thirsty Bear (spanish food, pub) down the street? It's a much less sterile, corporate environment than the Metreon. I'll meet you guys wherever you decide to go, so long as it doesn't require a GDC pass to hook up.

That's the same time as the MUD-Dev dinner, and I assume there will be a significant overlap in people...

Thursday, 10 March, starting at 19:00, at Cha Am, 701 Folsom at the south-west corner of 3rd street in San Francisco.

Alas, I had to cancel my GDC registration due to some very serious RL problems. I will be there in spirit though and may even be wearing a virtual beard at one of the virtual parties. Have a good time and a beer for me. Maybe see you all at the next one.

Yeah, Thursday night is Mud-Dev and Friday night is the AI dinner. Any chance you can move this to Wednesday? :)

Sorry, but this one's set as it's also the DiGRA gathering. With any luck, both get-togethers last long enough that you can swing both.

There is a TN/MUD-Dev/researcher/designer/theorist-types evening of conversation happening on Tuesday night. Drop me an email for info.
