10:00 am to 12:00am

LOCATION
Ace Art Inc, 290 McDermot Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0T2

SIGN ME UP!
YES, SIGN ME UP


(You can check out the info on the last PEGJam here. NOTE: This is the one from LAST year, don't sign up for it unless you have a time machine)


Thanks!

Awww yeah. Early summer should work for me.

We're talking about places in the Exchange that we could use. (unfortunately the space from last year is no longer around)

If I know you reasonably well, you can crash at our apartment in the area. (lots of floor space + mats + comfy sheets)

Also I think we should get the Victoria Beach trip off the ground this year. Cottage + Lake + BBQ? :D

[ChevyRay]

I'm in, and you know it.

As long as it takes place on a weekend and I get enough time beforehand to book time off, then anytime during the summer is good.

Oh, except the 30-31 of July, I've got a wedding to go to that weekend.

[Alec]

We're also gonna see if we can help offset your travel/accommodation costs like we did last year. But that'll take some time to figure out.

[tyronehenrie]

I would love to come. I'll figure out a way to make it up. 

[Alec]

Awesome!

P.S. Here's a retrospective post about the last PEGJam + a video from the event by IndieGameTheMovie peeps: (who are also from Winnipeg)

I am most definitely in. I won't have trouble covering getting there, but having a place to crash would be fantastic (necessary).

 

Also, any time from May through July is fine for me, with enough warning.

[DirkRugged]

You can count on Vieko and I being there. Late June would be better for me, but it's entirely up to you guys. The Calgary Stampede runs from July 8 to the 17, but I can miss a few days if PEGjam happens to fall in those dates. Gettin' stoked guys!

[PowRTocH]

I might go, if I can get a cheap ride from Calgary. We'll see.

[Alec]

Chrissy and I are cool with some people crashing our place as mentioned above. I think we had like ... 6-8 people last time? :S

Tom Rab can probably handle 1 or 2 people crashing his place.

Not sure who else is up for hosting people, but we can probably wrassle up some more space.

[Chris Z]

I am most likely in, late June would work best for me as well. 

[RabTom]

Yeah I can probably handle 1, maybe 2 people. Last time I hosted Eric McQuiggan and it went pretty good

[Sean A.]

Woah this almost works for me, I'm gonna be in Manitoba in mid-august, too bad it's in july. The weird this is I go to Manitoba every year and this is the first time that I haven't gone in July. God dammit.

[Matthew]

FYI, we're potentially looking at doing the next TIGJam Hacker Dojo event immediately before EVO (with party bas to Vegas afterwards)--EVO is July 29-31.

[Alec]

We're talking about late June, not July. (so far at least)

[Sean A.]

Well let me know if it ends up being moved to late July early August, I've been meaning to go to a game jam but I have never found one that I could go to.

[Noel Berry]

Made a quick website that will have more info as stuff is figured out.

[Chris Z]

TIGJam before Evo too?!  Oh man, the airlines will be owning me this summer.  I think I'm gonna have a trip every weekend in June and July.

I'd lean towards June, but I'll definitely try to make it whatever the date becomes.

On a somewhat side note, could we start it off with a quick Monocle Engine demo/tutorial?

I'd be down for doing that.

Hopefully Matt Thorson can make it down too...
