SignUp is now open!While on my North American Continental Road Trip, I twitched in fits of jealousy because of all the well organized events, groups, and people I met. Up here in the Pacific NorthWest, we have a lot of developers but we're apparently all too apathetic to actually meet each other. NOT ANYMORE! OrcaJam is being held in Victoria, BC... The closest thing we have to Indie Island! A beautiful venue for beautiful people like you[rselves]. September 17th-19th, 6pm-6pm, a full 48 hour gamejam! It's only 2 hours away from Vancouver AND Seattle, so all you chumps have no excuse. Everyone else from around the globe: Make our inaugural event memorable by bringing your lovely faces! And the rest of your bodies!  Check out the official OrcaJam site for travel details and hints, maps, discounted hotel rates, and everything else you'll need to know. Seating is limited, signup now!  |

How do you get there in 2 hours from Seattle? The ferries take a while, at least in WA state. Do you mean driving to Vancouver and ferrying from there? I'm thinking about going, gotta check the schedule.  |

I put links and details on the site, but to summarize: Washington -> Victoria via: The Clipper, downtown Seattle: 2.5 hours The Coho, Port Angeles: 2 hours Anacortez Ferry: 2 hours Or you could drive to Vancouver (2-3 hours I think?), go through customs (1-2 hours at the peace arch), drive to the ferry (another hour), and then take it (1.5 hours). So that's an all day event.  So if you're in Seattle proper, the Clipper is probably your best bet. The Clipper and the Coho aren't Washington State Ferries, they are private companies. |

Ahh, it was down at the bottom. Yea, Clipper sounds like the best deal. WA ferries can get extremely busy especially on a Friday.

Hey just in case you know peeps that wanted to attend but thought there were no more spots available, it seems the attendance limit has been bumped up to 60 (from 40). Spread the word!

Anyone looking for a roommate or someone to share a room with for Orca Jam? I'm still looking for a place to stay and would love to share a place with a fellow jammer (or two or three).

Hey IF there is a stream of this event for those that couldn't attend but want to see what it's like, can someone post it here? On the meetup page a Mr. Shane Neville said he would set one up, it would be pretty cool to see if it's there. Hope yr all having fun!

The internet connection in this hotel is super slow, so unfortunately we probably won't be able to stream anything.

Can someone give Chevy a big old smooch? I'd do it but it's hard over the internet and I know he misses me greatly.
