GDC and back again

Wow, GDC rocked this year and gee has the Garage Games name got out there. Most everyone I talked to had at least heard of us and on top of that a lot of awesome community members where there and stopped by, it was so great to see how the GG message is getting out there and how much the tools and community help people.

But to back track I haven't posted many plans and this will be only my second since becoming a GG employee, (best place in the world to work everyone is so awesome) so a quick note on who I am and what I do, I am Channa Langley, I am administrative Assistant as well as the Intern Coordinator here, but enough of that and on with the very colorful pictures and stories of GDC and back again.

It all began at the Eugene Train Station, where we prepared to board the train for the long 15-16 hour ride to San Francisco. Left to Right: James Willey, Adam Larson, Dylan Romero, Matt Langley, and Zach Zadell, I am the one taking the picture.

Then onto the train, note Matt like most GGers has to play with all the buttons and see what they do.

What on earth are they doing, you ask? Well, lets not ask. I think everyone was a little to exhausted to know themselves.

Nice pics, GDC looked like a lot of fun! I've always planned to get to one at some point every year for the last 4/5 years now 8-S. Guess I've got to sell loads of games first to pay for the return ticket ;)

There was a lot of inappropriate man-touching during GDC it seems...
