FOOLS?! Good sir, everyone here is a gentleman and a scholar. Fools? . . . I Say!
Alright, Booth Crawl, Weds 4:30 IGF Booth. Paint your teeth green so we know who you are.
Dinner/more drinking Thurs 6:00, Tropisueno. We can meet up somewhere easier to find if you 'd like, and everyone can walk over together (but only if we use the buddy system and you hold hands while we cross the streets)
I'm kind of amazed that Flaagan hasn't shown up in here yet. He's usually annoyed that he can't get anyone to come out to a meetup.
hahaha
sorry gentlemen
booth crawl is where they let the general expo passes into a big room full of developer and studio booths with recruiters and what not
good place to get your stuff critiqued and to network
its a crawl cuz its jammed packed
im only holding your hand if you grab mine, you gotta make the first move
ill look out for you jeffro
and just keep an eye out for a black guy with a red beard, prolly wearing some vibrant colored CA shirt
Nah, it's called a booth crawl cuz it's named after a pub crawl.
A Pub Crawl is where you and your friends start out a 1 pub, drink a bit, then walk down the street to the next. After the first few. . . you're crawling between pubs because you're so wasted.
The Booth Crawl is very similar, but with less cars, which makes it nice.
Hey You guys, Me and Bobo get in Wed Night, with our Demos at the Dominance war Booth on Thursday. I'm not sure what time. But I totally want to meet up with some homies.
BTW, here is the piece I will be demoing the making of. Just finished it! though the concept is from 2007 lol.
Cool sounds good. I'll try to make it to whatever.. the dinner.. booth crawl. I dunno. But i'll try.
I'm also doing the demo thing. With Josh/Bobo going Thursday i'll probably end up going wednesday or something (not actually sure just yet). Sculpt on a head a little.... and some clothing stuff perhaps.
Hey, guys. I'm a little late responding to this thread but sicsided let me know that a bunch of guys were meeting up on Thursday after hours. Tumerboy, is there still room for to count me in for the reservation?
Sounds like u boys are going to be having a shit ton of fun! Sorry im missing it this year =( Ton of people from Digital extremes will be there tho, go by and heckle them for me =P
Well, since everyone else is doing it, and I'm such a follower, here's me:
(on the left. Though I probably won't be wearing the smoking jacket and Fez to GDC.)
Men of Questionable Morals:
Josh_Singh
Bobo the Seal

I'm going to call today and update our reservation to 25.
Oh, and just in case people are wondering, here's what i plan to attend:
Wednesday:
10:30-11:30 Lighting With Purpose
12:00-1:00 Next-Gen Tech, but Last Gen Looks?
2:30-3:30 Guerilla Tactics: KillZone's Art Tools and Techniques
4:00-5:00 Dazed and Confused in the MMO World
5:30-6:30 Booth-Crawl (meet at IGF booth for Polycounters)
6:30-8:30 IGF Awards/Game Developers Choice Awards
Thursday:
9:00-10:00 Illustrative Rendering of PRINCE OF PERSIA
1:30-2:30 From Pipe Dream to Open World: Terraforming of FarCry 2
4:30-5:30 The Brutal Art of Burtal Legend
6:00-??? Polycount Meetup - Tropisue
RAH! Well, reservations have been canceled and now we're out on the street.
I called today to update to 25, and the woman in charge of booking reservations got really freaked out that we were going to be "cocktailing" and up and about and talking to eachother (heaven forbid!) So after much debate, and me saying I can't guarantee that everyone is going to behave (I know Cock Tanks will be discussed loudly at some point) I had to cancel the reservation.
So. . . If anyone else has a bright idea of where we go from here, please step up.
It's only another block away or so. Reservation is for 6:30, for 30 people. The guy was totally cool with having that many people up and talking and drinking. So we're good.
He did say that we'll be split up into 2 tables of 15, and if we don't have the majority of people there at 6:30, he'll seat those we do, but he'll have to split off the room we aren't using for other customers.
So. Be there at 6:30 if you can, and if you're late, you probably won't have a spot. After that, we can wander off to a bar nearby to continue the drunken escapades.
So, lets meet up somewhere at like 6:00-6:15, then we can all walk over together?
sounds good. I think I can take drinking and pizza a lot better than Mexican food. Could meet up at the Montgomery St Station right off of Market and near Kearny St.
LOL Ryan, of Course you guys can come (how many aside from Rv_El, Bobo and Josh?)
And uh. . . Mike better be coming, since we specifically scheduled this for THURSDAY in order to avoid conflicts with the award show (which I also want to see.)

Just look out for this guy:
everyone crab walks around the show floor, trying to hold as much swag and booze on their bodies as they can.*
I'm up for the booth crawl also, if I can still walk by then.
*I'm not really sure.

I'll ask around for a place that can accomodate 25-30 people. Ask your concierges as well, odds are we'll need to move away from the convention strip.
Well, I called around, and we now have a reservation at California Pizza Kitchen!
