AUSTIN Polycount Meet-up: Thanks for coming out!

skankerzero

This Monday night we're getting together before bearkub heads back to the woods for the winter.

We would like to get together... somewhere.

Any suggestions?

I'm shooting for Monday at 7:30pm or later. preferably somewhere where there's beer and an atmosphere where we can chill out and talk.

Justin Meisse

OHHHH SNAP!
I don't have any suggestions but I'll be there

Lee3dee

I'm in too!

Suggestions:
Sherlocks (off 183)
Opal Divines (next to Frys)
Ginger Man (downtown, parking not sure)
Mr Tramps (off 183, Game Dev Beer location)
Hideout Pub (off MoPac, kinda near Frys)

ElysiumGX

I'll try to make it. I second all of Lee's suggestions. All good places.

Oh, and, hey everybody!

Jon Rush

I could probably make it if it's somewhere up in the North Austin area

skankerzero

I'll look into them all Lee, Thanks!

Justin Meisse

I pass Opal Divine's on my way home from work so that's a bonus for me, and it sounds like it has a pretty good drink selection:

Opal's has one of Texas' best Scotch menus featuring over 65 varieties of Single Malts from all regions of Scotland

25 Craft-brewed & imported draught beers.
We feature many seasonal offering throughout the year. Ask your server for what’s “Fresh in on Draught.”

Fresh pressed fruit drinks made to order with hand pressed fruits juice

Martini menu featuring recipes from around the world

Over 40 Tequilas to choose from including selections of lowland as well as highland products.

Hand-made Margaritas made to order with the Tequila of your choice and our Divine Rita mix made with fresh squeezed lime juice sweetened with organic Agave Nectar.

Whuuut? The Kubster is in Austin? I may have to crawl out of my cave and make an appearance.

skankerzero

mhmm. he's here until Tuesday.

If I can get you and saya out I think the universe will implode.

OrganizedChaos

I'll probably make it too - i've been busy but I haven't heard of an Austin polycount meetup since moving here.

(edit: going to have to second that it would be nice to be more north Austin)

spitty

i'll try to come if i'm done with my painting for the vigil art show.

Joshua Stubbles

you guys so far away

skankerzero

Come work in Austin

TelekineticFrog

I'm in as well.

Ninjas

Kind of sad to miss this since I will be down there on the 22rd for Fantastic Fest.

skankerzero

I'm leaning towards Opal Divines.

I'll stop by this weekend to check it out and make it official probably tomorrow. (Saturday)

just a bump for today.

adam

This should have been on the 23rd so we can nerd the fuck out and Skype link the Toronto and Austin meet-ups. :P

skankerzero

why don't we do that?

we can organize something like that easy.

Rhinokey

i'm in also... tho looks like its pretty much going to be a kingsisle work outing. i see most these tools too much as is!

ScoobyDoofus

Get the scientists working on the TimeSkype™ technology immediately!

adam

Isn't the meet-up tonight, 100%?

BoBo_the_seal

I'm in.

ElysiumGX

Thanks for showing up. It was a great experience to finally meet the faces to the names I've known all these many years.

bearkub

Yah, thanks for coming out fellas. Sorry I was on the quiet side. A weekend of ACL plus a minor cold kinda took the wind out of me. Good times though and it was really good to see a few of you I hadn't seen in a while!

skankerzero

Hopefully more will come.

Thank you guys for coming out!

i think we should plan something over skype. Maybe we can get a couple meet ups going and do a conference on skype.

ZacD

Hows the turn out? take pictures!

adam

Pics?

skankerzero

Lee has them.

Lee3dee

I have to Photoshop r13 out for liability reasons. Will post them up shortly.

adam

Can't wait!

BoBo_the_seal

It was fun. Thanks for throwing this together Jesse

- BoBo

Justin Meisse

Fun on a bun - it was cool meeting everyone!

adam

Pics!!!

TelekineticFrog

Was good stuff. I'd be down for more of them. If there's one thing we can't run out of in Austin, it is venues to have meet ups.

adam

I'll bump this thread in to outer space if that's what it takes to see pics!

Justin Meisse

OH snap, remember when Bearkub did that awesome thing and everyone was like "WOOOOOH!" and then the crazy thing with the flaming knives happened?

OrganizedChaos

Man, yeah, that get together was EPIC. Thanks again for putting it together Jesse.

Geez......Gears 3 came out, I've been busy when I get home. For now, you can get ElysiumGX making a face from the meetup

I'll upload the rest once I get to a save point :P

adam

:poly118:

TelekineticFrog

as you can see from that 1 picture...the establishment made us all sit outside and in a cage no less. something about us looking "suspicious"

adam

At this rate the Toronto meet-up is going to happen and we're going to have pics up well before the Austin one. 8)

Lee3dee

You should blame Epic Games for releasing Gears 3 on the night of our meeting.

ok, I'll get to them tonight, polycount needs a pic hosting service.
