Who will be there? I'm stuck in San Jose for six nights (ouch, that's going to be expensive), since I'm flying from Oregon to Florida to present at a conference, then from Florida to California for GDC, then back home to Oregon.

I'm going to need stuff to do to occupy myself, and I've never stayed in San Jose before!

If GG can bring baskets of the G "Chips" we can get another late night Texas holdem game going. I really haven't got over my lose at IGC.

Oh yeah, I will be there in some form or another.

Just a reminder that today, Feb 15, is the last day to get the discounted prices on tickets.

...I just bought a classic pass. I've been saving like mad for this trip - I'm taking a month off of life and driving from Washington, DC to San Jose. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll drive back, too.

Wow, I have a pass and all, but no place to stay. Does anyone know someone who has an extra spot in their hotel room that I can stay at? If so can you point me in their direction ASAP so I can purchase airfare too? I'm hoping to get a hotel room for something under $60 a night. Thanks!

I feel your pain Anthony. I really wish I could make it. It would be nice to put a face on everyone.

I am aiming for the next IGC, which I think I will enjoy much more any way.

How much does it cost? I didn't see any pricing information on the website.

Hey all. Here are the social type events I'll be at, after running from session to session. Some of these overlap, so I'll probably party hop.

My cell is 971-259-9063 if anyone wants to try to catch me. I'll be super busy as press and probably won't have my cell turned on until I'm in California, since I never use it anyway!
