Siggraph 2011 - Vancouver Edition

Curious as to whom is going to Siggraph this year. Found out it's in Vancouver this year and figure a polycount meet-up is in order then. I figure a get together for beers sometime during the week. I'll probably be heading there myself on the 9th of August.

I'll probably just be getting a basic day pass since that's all I can afford (unless someone is awesome and can hook me up with a better pass )

Also, ideas and suggestions for potential places for a meet up would be welcome. I expect downtown to be fairly busy during the conference, but there should be a place or two we could gather a good group.

Beer is always good

I'll be there to present a poster. I've never been to downtown Vancouver before, so it should be a good time. I enjoyed last year's siggraph, even though I never got off the expo floor haha.

Registered for August 9th, so I'll be down there then if any polycounters want to meet up at some point for a pint or 3.

Times a tickin'

We will have to arrange something, I would totally be down for a meet up. I live just on the outskirts of Vancouver so I'm practically down there all the time so if anyone has any questions feel free to pass em by me.

I look forward to this years Siggraph lets make it a good one!.

I'll be there too, no plans of yet eh?

Keg

Yea, I can't think of any places near downtown worth going to. I'm sure there are a few places. Open to suggestions for places for a pint or two.

Skipping my free admission! I got a free T-shirt tho.

engelmanna

Seconded. Although I'm stuck downtown. If anyone wants to meet up I'm up for a beer or something downtown

Keg

I apologize for being lazy and not setting up anything. I'll be in the area today. If anyone wants to get together for a pint or to wander around siggraph a bit leave me a pm or look for me on google+

I'll naturally be wearing my greentooth shirt and i'll be looking for other polycounters while there.

engelmanna

Aww I didn't see your message until just now. Perhaps people will be around tomorrow? Would anyone be up for meeting at that pixelated orca whale by the convention center at 6pm? We could just wing it from there. I'll be the guy with the plaid looking shirt and blue satchel bag. Hope to see some of you there.
