One event that wasn't listed is the Game Programming Meetup, which
is sort of a spinoff IGDA chapter or something...anyway, it's really
pretty informal; a bunch of people meet together to talk about their
own game development projects (usually hobby projects so far) and
various topics in game development. On one occasion I gave a small
lecture about ARGs, kind of an introduction to the subject. It seemed
to go over well.

What: New York City Game Programming April Meetup
When: Tuesday, April 18 at 6:15PM
Where: web2zone (Internet Cafe & Video Game Center)
54 Cooper Sq (Cafe Area) 
New York NY 10003
212-614-7300
Web2Zone Door Cost: $3.00 per person (usually several people are
more than willing to pay the fee for others, so that's not an issue)

Other than that...any time is good for me, long as I have a bit of
warning. This Thursday will not be good. Friday would be okay.
That's about all I have to say. :)
