Norron · Feb 2016

Dammit Joe stop making me sad that I can't go.

How fast did the venue fill up last year? I've been to John Colins before and its a rad venue. Pretty good size too.

xhi · Feb 2016

Id like to go but it's not going to be a real meet up since I don't know many of you guys :,(

That's not usually an issue. You can count on the fact that everyone there has at least one shared interest.

If all else fails, do what I do at GDC: Walk up to a group of people and say "Hi, I don't know you guys. What's up?"

It took a while to fill up, but there were just so many people wanting to get in. I got there before it started and I was around the corner on New Montgomery.

All that said, though, it was pretty packed when everyone ended up in there. Lots of game artist people

garcellano · Feb 2016

@xhi yeah I guess at first it might seem kinda odd, but similar to what @Swizzle mentioned, I'm sure there'll be something we'll all have a similar interest in to just chat about, like stuff on polycount or a bunch of games.

xhi · Feb 2016

@Swizzle @garcellano Ahh scary! I'm gonna see if I can find some people to meet up with then. Looking for friends PM me (; lol

EarthQuake · Feb 2016

Yeah the line was around the block last year. I would recommend showing up early if you want to get in quickly.

Also, nobody should feel like they shouldn't attend just because they don't know anyone else, that's sort of the primary reason to go, to meet cool new people!

Hi I'm Joe, I make models and tutorials and stuff for Marmoset. I've been on Polycount since forever, and helped to organize the meetup. There, now you know someone. Come say hi, I'll have a whiskey in one hand and a camera in the other.

Swizzle · Feb 2016

Watch out for EQ. He bites. Pretty sure he has fleas, too. I guess it's from hanging around all those Marmosets.

EarthQuake · Feb 2016

Be careful of some guy named Xavier Colonoscopy, I hear he has fire ants living in his beard. It's hard to spot them, because you know, ginger reasons.

Swizzle · Feb 2016

It's Quaalude-Colostomy, thankyouverymuch.

There are fire ants, though.

theonewhoknocks · Feb 2016

Cant wait to meet everyone!

Tits · Feb 2016

I can't wait to see everyone again this year

EarthQuake · Feb 2016

I can't wait to everything everyone!

MmAaXx · Feb 2016

I will be there. 8)

dorodo · Feb 2016

I'll be going so I can lurk, watch people talk and compliment their awesome stuff! (Basically what I do here)

Edit: Missed the 21 y.o detail. Only next year, I guess

Don't worry, we're definitely probably perfectly normal people in real life.

Tits · Feb 2016

Don't worry, we're definitely probably perfectly normal people in real life.

At least MOST of us

I can confirm that neither Joe nor Xavier are normal people.

They are cool though.

Swizzle · Feb 2016

PERFECTLY NORMAL.

He does have fire ants living in his beard though. Try not to get too close.

That is what they all say when they are pretending to be normal

. Anyways I would love to join in on the weird group!
