A group of us in central Iowa have been organizing game jams under the Iowa Indie Game Jam name for a year and a half now. We'd love to get more people involved, especially those from this lovely community. What do you guys think about having a Midwest game jam? We're planning on next weekend, Feb. 27th - March 1st. We'd like to host the game jam at the Intuition Games office in Ames, Iowa, which has tons of extra space for people to spread out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeiowu/sets/72157613567295956/And to kick off the game jam, we'd like to throw a Dinowaurs release party. Assuming there are enough people attending, I might be able to get a local micro-brewery (Olde Main) to supply some great, local FREE BEER, since they're trying to get their name out there. Thoughts? |

Yes, spread the word! BTW, what's the etiquette on this? Are we free to just say "it's a TIGJam now!" or is there some sort of gavel-pounding process?

I'm not sure what the rest of the original organizers think (Matt Wegner, Jeff Lindsay), but as far as I'm concerned, if they just sort of "spring up" all over the place, I think that'd be great!  |

Are there any transportation options for people without cars? Such as a bus or train station?

you could take a bus to des moines and meet one of us there. ames is 30 minutes north by interstate. PM me if you decide to do this and we'll work something out. Also, it's quite possible our jam's theme will include the cockpit compo. and... mike might bring steel battalion and we'll throw it up on the 56 inch. |

Sexy poster ya got there. Good news! The Dinowaurs release party has become a combination release party and dinosaur costume party! And we got the go ahead to serve alcohol.  I'm working with Olde Main right now to come to some sort of solution for them providing beer. And we're gonna work on cockpit games during the jam. |
