For those who applied for the Blitz Studios open days, today is results day 
Who else got a place, and on which day? It would be cool to meet up with some fellow polycounters.
Anyone been on previous years and got comments or advice to give?

What about you ? what day did you get ?
I put down 23rd. Thought it would be best to get any crit with my work as polished as possible I suppose.
Got rejected.
Applied to Blitz when I finished uni:
Got rejected (found the rejection letter and returned portfolio a few months ago).
I work there now:
I win
Edit: I sit near Ikosan so I guess that means I lose.
Looking forward to meeting people there!
Cant change to the 23rd as I have previous commitments that cant really be shifted or anything :c
I'll be there in the 2nd too, will hopefully meet some of you guys
How about t-shirts so we recognise fellow polycounters, ha...
I had to move an entire floor before I stopped loosing
Looking forward to meeting you all, I'll be hanging around to chat to anyone who wants advice (at a price of a pint ofcourse).
Don't be discouraged Ms.Knowles
Omg that's amazing, I remember! Hahah yes I owe it all to you
I ended up at the University of Central Lancashire...Not a great move to be honest. Didn't even know Animex was in February! Will look into it!
@benji Thanks Benji, it means a lot that you said that. Oh well, I know it could have been improved a lot and I don't have the best of luck most times anyway!
Theres a guy from naughty dog coming up to talk about environments and someone from Epic, going to be
http://www.animex.net
that would involve stepping foot in middlesbrough
My flatmate Rob is off on that day, be sure to freak him out by telling him you know his flatmate Wes.
Also feel free to make up anything you want about me.
I have a feeling they get a lot more designers/artists applying for the open day than programmers.
Edit!
Also I think I read somewhere that they don't get many people applying for designer so they had to group the programmers together. But I may be completely wrong haha.
Hope everyone with a later date enjoys it as much!
Advice for anyone heading to Blitz on the later dates: get enough sleep so you have a lot of energy to talk to a lot of people! Also, have a few questions in mind relating to your work to ask at the feedback session, and take a printed portfolio along with you. You'll get some great feedback in the pub!
Dave - was good to meet you man. as well as James, Ben, Robert and everyone else
I'm Gemma, pretty new and haven't submitted anything yet.
