Austin Game Development Conference?

Jeremy Lindstrom

Who's going in a few weeks? I'll be down there for the duration. Just wanted to check and see all who's going to attend.

I got the full access pass was wondering what kind of art stuff might be good to check out looks pretty light on the art side. O_o

I'll be down there Sunday night - Wednesday night... We'll have a frozen codebase booth set up and we'll be checking out people who might be interested in working here. We're also hosting a roller derby bout match on Monday night and anyone who stops by the booth gets free tickets (and bus rides to the venue).

It'd be great if any of you are around to try to make it to the bout if you guys don't have much else going on, it's going to be a good time.

Jeremy Lindstrom

Just going to bump this again, anyone going? I'll be heading down Sunday night and staying through Wednesday and heading back that night.

I'm up for a drinking meetup. I won't be attending the conference though (though if there's something to do that doesn't require a free pass I may stop by).

Jeremy Lindstrom

Looks like I'll be hitting the art of DC Universe Online with Jim Lee and the Real World Texture painting with poop (ben mathis).

hah just realized that sounded odd.

probably hit the Rage Storytelling and tech workshop too.

I'm hoping to stop by after work at some point, but definitely going to hit up some of the parties I've heard about. I'd love to go to Ben's lecture if I could find the time, and a pass.

Why wouldn't he go? It's a 3 hour drive from Dallas at most, and there will be plenty of us from the industry there. He may have just landed a job, but it's always a good idea to keep good contacts. There are plenty of folks in Austin that can tell you that after the recent lay offs in our area.

Jeremy Lindstrom

Yup, I'm going and they are sending me. My boss and 3 others are heading down there. Some good workshops.

I am kinda boycotting it.
I am sick of getting spammed by their marketing dept. and I tried to get off their mailing list a few dozen times a year, written them emails of complaint etc etc.
W**kers.

Jeremy Lindstrom

Yay, get to drive directly through Hurricane Ike on the way to Austin on Sunday too! Weeee..

Jeremy Lindstrom

Rob Galanakis

Anyone want to meet up for drinks this week? I won't be going to the actual conference but I'm sure I could get some other guys from work to meet somewhere.

Jeremy Lindstrom

I hit up the Heatwave interactive party last night at the sky lounge, and saw some folk at the garage games booth. I'm wearing my polycount shirt today.

mrawolf
