TIGSource Forums

Is anybody here planning on organizing a get together for TIGSource people? I for one am totally new to the indie scene, and though I am not terribly active yet on these forums, I would love to meet you all face to face. (The only way so far that some of you may know me is that I participated in the most recent mini Ludum Dare under the moniker Hamburger.)

I'm sure there will be plenty of other indie dev parties and whatnot over the course of the week, which may completely overlap with this. I'm out of this loop though, and don't know about them. What are they?

Thanks everyone.  :beer:

So it's settled, the get together will take place somewhere in Portugal

a gettogether at gdc you mean?

i'm guessing it's about GDC...

we should have a picnic. an indie picnic somewhere in a park and we can blow those big bubbles, fly some kites and wear ascots and just generally have a really wholesome time.

really i just say that because mon/tue days are booked for IGS but wed/thur/fri should be free. most nights are filled with events, dinners and inter-indie-sex so let's get drunk in a park under the noon sun or something.

I knew GDC really was something else. :)

As long as we can exclude people, and talk about why we create the only true games. :cavestory:

Oh you're going to the IGS too?

Get together sounds like fun. Oh, we can drink stuff from brown paper bags in USA.
I'm looking forward to it.

Of course I was talking about GDC, silly.

How about a picnic at Golden Gate Park? If there are more than 25 people, a $25 permit is necessary--and I'm pretty sure they enforce these things in San Francisco.

We're pretty much all together throughout GDC... you should just hook up with us!

Join The Facebook Group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20541161264) and we can coordinate through there.  I could give you my phone number too. :handthumbsupR:

I think the picnic idea is pretty awesome.

Yeah, it'd be pretty romantic. :eyebrows:

Oh, you...  :-*

We should have a picnic in the same park where the opening of Full House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-5HC44GRbk) takes place.

YESSS! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo_Square

Haha oh shit, it's only like 25 blocks from Moscone.

Instead there's the Yerba Buena Gardens behind the Metreon which is right next to the convention center.

YEAH BUT FULL HOUSE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THERE.

A wild SAGET has appeared! :o

The Owl Tree re-opened so it's almost a given that we'll be drinking there this year.   :handmetalL::handmetalL: :tiger: :handmetalR::handmetalR:

Well, not Brandon, because he's going to be busy writing 50 articles a day for TIGSource. :laughter:

Yes yes, only orange peels and TIGS posts for me. :epileptic:

Fake or not, that image just ruined my childhood.  :addicted:  :screamy:

I am down for any drinking or picnicing or homosex or whatever.

^ the right attitude
 :gentleman:

I'll gladly partake in any agreed-upon activity. I'd rather not do anything during the day though. I here there's a conference on.

i am already planning outfits around purple suspender accesories.

I am probably the only one, but I DON'T CARE.

although... t-shirts?

tigsource t-shirts would be cool

drool. I would kill for a baby-blue t-shirt with the TIGS bespectacled joystick on it.

If this glorious apparel truly does exist, I would make the two hour pilgrimage to SF even though I sorely lack any form of GDC pass.

I'd buy a tigshirt.

i'm feeling bejeweled :eyebrows:

.

when is a good time?  monday?
Was there a get together last year?

Wondering the same thing. I'm a little short on time. Off in two days. After that, I don't think planning is going to be very easy for me. Can't guarantee there's a chance to get online.

Unless we go for one of the previously mentioned spots, does anyone know the city well enough to pick a good one? Linking via Google maps might make things easyer. Any time starting the 21st is fine by me.

Option number two is just hooking up at GDC of course.

The best plan might be some sort of massive tigsource dinner / get together after one of the nights at GDC?

I'm up for anything. And I do mean anything :eyebrows:

Nose suckling?

This has my vote.

I've really wanted to check out a steakhouse while I'm in town, but there might be some veggieveganitarian people here, so something more open might work better.

Only for professionals.

so... is anyone gathering tonight? it would be great to organize some get together soon...

Wondering the same thing

Well I'll only be there for the days of the Expo, so I would vote for a post-IGF party/get together on wednesday night.

Would others be down for that?

sounds great!

hmm, i heard something about a get together tonight, but i haven't heard anything since :(
