Plan for Dave Calabrese

Wow.

This was my first year at IGC, and it was a total BLAST! From getting to learn all the cool new stuff coming from GarageGames and the community to playing the awesome games everyone has been working on, I'm so glad I went. Meeting all of you really helped to put this business in perspective for me, and helped solidify my desire to do this as a career. Everyone is just as cool in person as online!

Congratulations to everyone who won in the IGC Players Choice Awards. The hard work that went into Lore by MaxGaming, the fun and originality of "Wildlife Tycoon" and the incredible uniqueness of Facade all deserved the awards they won, and I congratulate all of you! A special congratulations and thank you to everyone who had the courage to show their games at the IGC this year. Just like Jay Moore said on the final day, it can be difficult and nerve-wracking to show off something that you have labored so long over to a large crowd of harsh judges - showing your games took a lot of strength.

A few people probably noticed me running around, snapping a few hundred photo's with my camera. I chose the best 85 and put them up on my home page. You can find the first page of photo's at:

www.forbidden-zodiac.com/phpgraphy/?dir=IGC%202005

A handful of photo's say (someone) in the title, as these are people I honestly do not know the names of. If anyone can fill those 'someone's with an actual name, please let me know and I will modify it asap!

Congratulations to everyone at GarageGames and the GarageGames community for an awesome IGC 2005! Can't wait for IGC 2006!

-Dave C.
