Spark

Going to be there, and I will be staying at the W.

Spark

adam

I'm there, we're staying at the Days Inn.

rawkstar

looks like i'll be there as well, staying at the days inn

ebagg

I'll be there....staying at my townhouse on the eastside, har har.

oXYnary

I want to go, but there is no way in hell I can afford that. I'm trying to contact the organizers to see if I can volunteer in some fashion.

Spark

Sweet, everyone let's crash over at Ebagg's place! I hear it's FREE!!!!

Spark

shotgun

rockstarski!!!! we still have 1 spot open at the W, which would then make it $25 night/person.

okkun

I probably wont have time to go but I'd love to meet up for drinks as we're just a couple blocks away.

Thegodzero

I wont be going, but as i live here im up for a meet up.

Xenobond

I'd love to go this time, but it's just too bloody expensive to make it all the way out there. ;(

Mark Dygert

It's awesome that you all want to support me as I kick my coke habit, but its supposed to be Cocaine Anonymous.
Seriously type in ca.org sometime.

(yes I know what you really mean...)

Spark

Is the W the same as the warwick hotel? If so we should try and find a central place to hang out one night.

Spark

ebagg

A meet is definitely necessary.

oXYnary

Damn.

"Thanks for the inquiry. Currently we have all the helpers we think we
need:) I'll be sure to let you know if that changes.
"

I really wanted to go in some form. Even it it was just helping 90% of the time.

If nothing else, I could offer the house I'm staying as a place to meet up. My roommates should be cool with it as long as it doesn't go too late or get rowdy (unlikely). I don't live that far from downtown.

It would be a BYOB though.

oXYnary

Hey, popping this back up. I thought I might have had enough, but now one of my roommates doesn't want to sign a new lease. So me and the other roomate are trying to find someone to sign a 6 month. If we cant, I need that money for first and last at a new spot.

I'm kinda sticking it in here as per maybe one of you out of towners will get a local job out of this event and want a nice place to stay.

Anyhow also popping it up to see if you all would like to get a meetup together outside the event? To help with the possibility of attracting polycounters who wouldn't go otherwise. Say like Saturday evening in Belltown or Capital Hill?

Also, here is the local seattle conceptart sketch group thread:

This is going to be awesome! I'll be sure to wear my polycount dominance war shirt to represent the green and black with pride!

xxbrightliesxx

Ill be there with rawkstar on a leash lmao jkjk

Ctrl+Awesome

I'll be there. Staying at the Warwick. Hope to see you guys around.

kolbyjukes

I'll be there, still not sure where I'm staying.

adam

Anyone from Seattle know of a spot we could organize a meet at?

ebagg

I just figured we could meet up at the CA event, then head to some place as a group?

fogmann

Oh sweet! I'll be in Seattle on the Jan 4th and I'm up for meet up, although not sure if I'll attend the workshop. Can I get a pass for just the weekend, anyone knows? I guess I'll just call and ask tomorrow.

shotgun

well i dont have a cell phone, but somebody who does (spark?) why don't you collect numbers so we can hook everyone up later?

Spark

Hey sounds good, I already have Rockstars info, and we definetely need to do a meet up. Those who are making it just send me a email through polycount and we will try and get a metting time together. Shotgun, maybe you can get one of those temporary phones? while your there to make it easier to get in contact with you.

Spark

adam

Spark, done. You've got my celly in your PM inbox now

I hope not, for those who cannot attend because of financing or work schedules.

Would you all prefer a coffee shop or a full on restaurant?

There are some decent Bars in Belltown (near the CA event). Though they are more expensive and crowded with yuppies.

adam

Restaurant would probably be best.

Actually - who's going?

I'm in.

fogmann

I'll hang out with you guys, but will have to miss the workshop

Spark

Let's try and meet up at the W where I know a few of us are at or close by. Then we can head out to a resturaunt as that would be best to chat and catch up while still getting some beer would be good. I get in on the 4th, so how about maybe doing it either on the 5th or the 6th after the workshop so we can meet up with fog and anyone else that would not be attending the show. Let me know if this sounds good, and I will check back here to see what we all come up with.

Spark

adam

What about January 6 @ 8PM at the W? The classes run until 7PM that day...

Spark

Sounds good, we can meet up in the front lobby of the W and then decide what resturaunt or wherever to go.

Spark
P.S: If you haven't done so, hit me with an email in here to let me know if you will be joining us, and a number to get in contact with you.

JANUARY 6th, 8PM @ the lobby of the W!

ebagg

I am assuming you guys are gonna be at the party friday night? It sounds like an open bar (is it?), should be great!

aesir

ebagg, they've never had an open bar before (i paid), but heres hopin for ya!

ming

I will also be attending the workshop.

(yeah yeah this is my first post in a year)

Spark

Haha, no worries ming, just hit me up with your info so we can make sure to add you in on the get together. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Spark

adam

Spark - who've you got so far? How many can we expect yah figure for the 6th?

Also - if you can, rock the PC shirt while you're there for easy spottage while we're learnin'.

oXYnary

So I learned my roommate decided to stay Jan 1st, so I have been trying to get in contact with Massive Black to get on. Sounds like its not going to happen since they aren't answering emails.

*Bangs head against wall*

I gotta say though, if you guys are already at the W, why they heck would you want the meeting there? You can go there anytime your at the Hotel. Don't you want to get some of the Seattle Social Scene?

adam

No no, we're meeting at the W then heading out from there. Read you fool, read!

Spark

Haha yeah, oxy...alot of us do not have transportation so that is a meeting point to where we can then decide to go. So far we have about 6-8 people meeting up, though I hope more will be able to make it. See you guys there soon.

Spark

I'll probably be wearing the green and black first day, that way hopefully we can gather a bit during the friday night party as well! I think shots are in order!

Ctrl+Awesome

I'm chillin' at the Warwick right now. Already bumped into a few people who are going to the convention.
Going to hop out and take a look around, it's like 5 and already dark here.

Hope to see you guys around!

My name is Mud.

Mud also may have a chance of getting in since Jason emailed him to let him know there are a few spots left and to pay at the door.

Mud also wonders what it means when someone talks of themselves in the third person?

OGRE

Haven't posted in quite some time, and I'm just about to head out the door to the studio, but I took a quick look at the workshop information page and didn't see a price - is it free to attend? I currently reside in Seattle and this definitely sounds badass, free or not - just curious.

Edit: Just saw post above, anyone know if there are any spots left? and again, how much is it?

fogmann

Just arrived to Seattle last night, so give me a call when you have time to hang out - 407-227-9288. Cya!

Slash

My gf called me last night.

"There's a guy here wearing your shirt!"

adam

So we doing the dinner thing tonight, or...?

adam

I just spoke with Spark and we're thinking earlier may be best as some people are leaving tonight.

So, lets do 5:30PM @ the front of the convention centre. You can call myself @ 778.881.4693 for info.

Cheers!

Has anyone had a chance to snap some photos of the presentations? I would love to even just get a glimpse of what's going on there.
