What's TIGJam? It stands for "The Independent Game Jam!" Basically, a bunch of game developers get together and improvise on new ideas. Awesome games have come out of TIGJams in the past.

Meet new friends, collaborate on new ideas, share your knowledge and get inspired!

I'm there, no question.

Man, if this and Global Game Jam Calgary BOTH go through, I will piss myself happy.

[GregWS]

Redundancy of this post aside, I should be able to come! 

[weasello]

I'm totally down for this, in perhaps february? let us know more details as they fill in!

[dayflcl]

yup, sound like fun ...any more details ?

[Alec]

Thinking sometime in the spring/summer.

Like maybe April or May?

Let me know when you folks are free. 

[Eric McQuiggan]

April/May would work for me the best! I'm not in school right now, so that works, Plus I would rather drive across the fabled land of rock and snow that is Northern Ontario in the spring.

But looking at flights, they may be cheaper then renting a car, because I don't currently know anyone in Ottawa that would make that trek that has an automobile.

[GregWS]

I'm definitely cool with an April/May date.

Some date thoughts from a guy that organizes TOJam...

University finishes ~May 7.
Watch out for Mother's day May 9.
Probably don't want to use the first long weekend May 24 (long live the Queen).

That leaves you 2 weekends in May:
May 15 - 16 or May 29 - 30
We always hold it earlier to ensure it's nasty outside.
The last thing you want is a nice day 

[Alec]

Rad, thanks for thinking so I don't have to. 

[ChevyRay]

That leaves you 2 weekends in May:
May 15 - 16 or May 29 - 30

Either of those weekends are great for me, as far as I know.

I was thinking of a cross-country motorcycle trip around then - that timing would be perfect.

[PsySal]

Maybe I will bike to Winnipeg for this. Hmn...

[GregWS]

If by bike you mean non-motorbike, then holy crap. 

And if you mean motorbike, then: 

[PsySal]

Well, I mean bicycle but I talk a bigger game than I deliver! I do bike a lot but it's all been in-town so far, I've never done a proper road-trip. However biking to Winnipeg would appeal a lot to me...
