Going to GDC?

Likely there’ll be a Torc contingent, Alan. We’ll have to find a replacement for the Fairmont lobby ASAP!!

I can safely say that

DemonWare will be in attendance

as well.

The Torc contingent will be:
John, Chris and little ole me

Eoin, I believe we owe you guys a dinner!!

I’m planning on getting there this year – time to dust off my ‘where games are born’ T-shirt.

brilliant

Guys, anyone looking to book accomodation should check out http://www.hostelworld.com… Hostels in the US are more like budget hotels – bed & breakfast, maybe internet access and little other frills – but a fraction of the price of the more mainstream hotels

Once you’ve done your initial search, widen the search paramters in the nav bar by also selecting ‘budget hotels’… brings up even more baragains – most of these places are within a 15 – 20 min walk of the Moscone Convention Centre and prices start at about $20 per person per night for a single private with en suite bathroom as opposed to the $180 per person per night in the hotels listed on the GDC website

Keep an eye out for a a sound welsh chap called Darran – he’ll be representin Visual Science at GDC.

Say hi !

ok folks, we’re off to Dublin tonight to catch the morning flight to San Fran (getting over early to work on our tans)

see you in the conference bar!

Behind that innocent comment I’m sure there’s much seething jealously towards him. ;)

Have fun. I don’t think trying to impress the booth babes by turning into a burnt lobster will work I’m afraid. :(

Any chance that we’ll see a article on it from yourself when you get back, Tony? It would be good to see how the Irish companies did and everything else in general.
