sinistergfx

I'm going.

AstroZombie

This guy is going.

Daz

aye

John Warner

oii. I got an offer to go up i declied. too soon after my first job to be organized enough to head out. hope you guys have fun tho! i'll catch up with you next year...

skankerzero

I'll be there.

Joshua Stubbles

Unfortuneatly, I probably won't be able to go this year. We have to hit our gold date around the same time, so we'll be swamped. Sadly, couldn't find you pcounters at the show last year. Next year though, for sure

adam

Uhhhmm.. is it open to non-in house artists? (IE: People who've done contractors??)

If so, I'm down

EDIT: Hmm, few questions. I don't need a passport for Canada to US do I? I don't think I do but the rules seem to be changing daily.

My birth certificate is laminated and last year when I flew I almost wasn't allowed back in to Canada. If I *need* to get a new one I definitely couldn't go as that takes about a year.

parasyte7

will be there, hope to meet you guys there.

poopinmymouth

I'm gonna be there.

Eli_Heuer

I'll be there. Whoo, hoo my first time at E3!

Scott Ruggels

Going, with the rest of my Company. What morning are we going to "The Pantry"?

Scott

pogonip

Im going ...deffintly going to be the best E3 in YEARS

gauss

it looks to be my first E3 as well... not sure about the particulars about how i'm going to do it though.

it'd be tempting to take another road trip out west so i could lolligag around at my leisure on the west coast... we shall see. gas prices are pretty rough, but it'd allow me more operational flexibility to have a car. i'm coming though.

Pseudo

I will be there. Something I would like to see, and I know we talked about this last year, would be a polycount mini-party or something of the sort. We could have it in the afternoon when the doors to e3 close but before all the big parties kick off in the evening.

Unfortunatly I dont go downtown much so I cant offer any ideas, but if someone knows a nice bar in the area around the convention center that would be choice.

Dane

I will be there as well, I live in hollywood and can provide transportation and a place to chill if needed. Hit me up at dane@frameworkla.com if you are interested.

eXpendabLe

I'll be there too since I've missed it the last two years. I can finally wear my polycount tshirt in public

ScoobyDoofus

Well, I'd pull some strings to go if its possible, but I'm not an "industry professional".

Maybe I can work it out somehow to get passes anyway...anybody got any ideas?

Also, room-share anybody?

Hunter

I would absolutely go this year, however.....

I'm getting MARRIED May 6th.. So I will be away on a honeymoon to Belieze the following weeks..

I will keep some tabs on this thread though to see who I would be missing this year.. A shame to, since it was great to see all the people I missed for a few years, at last years E3..

Maybe I'll postpone the wedding a few weeks..

adam

Still gotta find me a hotel

Kevin Johnstone

I should be there unless there's a change of plan again like there was last year!

This will be my first E3, so vet's can point me toward a bar where I can get some quality Singlemalts alright?

Paul Jaquays

I'll be there ... though we'll probably be staying out in Universal City ... again.

TNSLB

Whooo-hoooo, congrats, Hunter!!!!

JO420

im surem y boss wil lie to me about going to E3 in the same way he lied to me about attending GDC

moose

ill be there too!

as the date draws closer, i can give my cel # out to those who want to meet up, or whatever.

Scott Ruggels

Congrats, Hunter!!

Scott

dur23

I'll be there again this year. I'll be sure to bring extra beers for R13 this time. Goddamn rude canadians.

Road trips are always fun, me and a friend will be driving down from Seattle for E3. Only bad part is my car has no cruise control .

ScoobyDoofus

Unfortunatly my time off request was DENIED! Doh.
Oh well. The boss promised to pay for me to go to the next event to make up for it. (Next CA.org workshop perhaps?)

Malekyth

I'd go, but instead I paid to fly all the Bodyshop strippers out to Raleigh for the week. So, like, no point now.

Hunter

Hmmm.. Ill have to get to Raleigh for a last minute bachelor party on Mal..

Ant292

Ah, how I wish I could attend...
Unfornately, various things prevent me from doing so:
1. My age - Only 17
2. My geographical location (combined with my age) - Travelling to LA? Don't think so. ;P
3. My lack of "Being in the Gaming Industry" qualifications. :P

Ah well, enjoy it whoever is going. I shall be paying very close attention to the Internet when it arrives. It shall be massive this year!

Millah

I'll be there and so will Randal Hess (cluck from MD). We are flying in early the 18th and leaving that saturday.

Hunter

BTW thanks, all of you, for the wedding wishes..

I may have to reach out to Harl and Tins for advice.. this is all starting to make me nuts..

doc rob

I'm in as well, looks like a big polycount crowd this year

Joshua Stubbles

I have sinced changed my mind, and will be attending E3 afterall. I'm only coming down for a single day though (19th), to help myself save some cash. BoBo has my cell#, but if anyone else wants it, just PM me, so we pcounter's can hook up for lunch or whatever.

AstroZombie

I will buy BEER and HOOKERS for anyone that can score me a pass to the Sony party

Same here. the Sheraton, but at least I can Fandango Movie tickets for the star Wars Movie, opening night, at City walk.

Scott

P.S. Of course the movie won't be good, but I'm just there for the supreme eye Candy.

Parnell

I will be attending this year as well.
B

rawkstar

I'll be there, like in j00 face

Eclipse

I'll be attending this year as well .

eXpendabLe

anyone planning a Polycount get-together? There's still tickets availble for Episode III.. I'll have a car. Who's going?

Jeff Parrott

OK, I decided to go now.

Hunter

Hmm I used to have many a hook at E3 for a variety of parties..

Ive been to the Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sega parties a few times.. Gamespy too, twice..

Though some of my hooks have changed, I may have been able to go if I wasn't getting "hitched" next week.. Hmmm I guess it's too late to push back a wedding huh ? LOL

nitzmoff

I'll be there. Any chance anyone knows Seanbaby, or if he'll be there?

r13

bump cause its getting closer

poopinmymouth

I saw we try to do as many meals together as possible. Breakfast before, lunch during, and any dinners we can squeeze in. I know I'd rather spend my time with you guys than the random putzes I'll run into.

Ribking

Sorry guys, I won't be making it there this year. But I really look forward to the inevitable post-E3 thread. Don't be shy with the picture-taking!

sinistergfx

Yes, let's get the PC gang together as much as possible. Don't forget your shirts!

This E3 should be one for the books. I'll see how close I can come to filling my camera's 1GB card.

rawkstar

hey so how about we organize some sort of a meetup or something? Looks like alot of polycounters are going, this is going to be COOL

Joshua Stubbles

This E3 is going to be PACKED with P/C's.
Should be interesting. I've only met BoBo, so it will be nice to meet the rest of ya freaks
Again though, I'll only be attending on the 19th (expo day 2). I'm flying in/out of L.A that same day. If anyone needs my cell # for contact info, just PM me.
