So far the plan is Lefty's on Wednesday, we were looking into booking a different venue but those plans will most likely not come together at this point. So plan on Lefty's unless we make some sort of announcement telling you guys otherwise.
I got a question for you guys.
This is my first time going up.
I'm registering right now and it wants the Company name and Job title which I'm guessing will be printed on the badges.
I'm unemployed right now so I don't know what to put.
I just got laid off at Ubisoft (SF) at the beginning of the year so I'm not going to put that on there.
What should I do? Is putting unemployed for Company a terrible idea?
Maybe contractor?

Put down Freelance and whatever type of artist you fancy yourself.
Company is sending a couple of our Devs to GDC. (Woot!) We're all kind of new 'round Polycount, so going to try and to show up and meet and greet to get to know folks~
Anyone know what time the meetup usually runs to? Gotta stop by at another meetup before the PC one Not certain of when last call is.
Last year it ran until around midnight, and the same the year before. Bars close in SF at 2:00am, so last call is usually around 1:00-ish.
People usually start getting there at around 6:00pm, so there should be plenty of time to get there and hang out for a bit, or drop in and leave early if you need to.
OMG! I'll be there too! My first GDC too! I'm super excited and SO jazzed to meet more of you guys! I'll be speaking on Wednesday too so a polycount meetup later will be awesome since my nerves will be lessened by then. I'd love to get some PC people feedback from it too! Just don't tell me you'll be there because I'll die of nerves. http://schedule.gdconf.com/session-id/826234
Anyone else going to The Wild Rumpus party that night too?
Hey guys. So I'll be going but my plans got kinda messed up. Anyone looking for a roommate? Have a place close by that don't mind someone crashing, etc?
What are venues like with people under 21 at night? I'm 20 and not sure if i'm just going to get turned away at the door everywhere or not. The drinking law in the UK is 18+, and if you are below that age, then you can't be in the venue most of the time.
Getting into Lefty's won't be a problem as it's a restaurant and bar, so there's no age restriction. Some parties may not allow anyone under 21, however, so make sure to check with staff, look at event pages, or ask people you know who are going to parties.
I will be working the Maxon Booth on Wed (tomorrow) if you wanna swing by and chat. Unfortunately, I am gonna miss everything else as I fly in tonight, and fly out tomorrow. =(
Thread bump and reminder that the Polycount Party/Meet up is tonight at Lefty O'Doul's on Geary Street. We have the back section reserved for us, so we better fill that puppy up! We have to make it bigger than last year.

I dunno about anyone else, but I fully intend to have a topless pillow fight. Even if I'm the only one who's topless. Or fighting. With pillows.
If anyone was still on the fence about attending, I'm sure THIS will get them to go.
Looking forward to catching up with all you cool kids again.
BRB, buying plane ticket. You best be topless by the time I get there.
Still bummed I'll be missing out this year. Guess I'll have to catch up with you cool people in 2015.

If I'm remembering correctly last years meetup went till after 12 or so.
Super bummed I can't afford to go this year. The meetup was really fun last year and I was really looking forward to this years.
