[arg_discuss] Austin GDC?

[Wendy Despain]

Sorry this has taken me a few days to get back to! I always feel like
I'm in crunch mode when I know I'll be out of the office for several
days.

The official bar for the conference is apparently Maggie Mae's
http://www.maggiemaesaustin.com/ but it can get pretty crowded, so
this year everyone participating in the "Game Writing" track is being
encouraged to meet up at the Gingerman http://austin.gingermanpub.com/
so it's easier to find people you recognize. That's where I will
likely be most evenings (starting Sunday) and of course everyone is
welcome to join the hardest drinkers at the convention (ie. writers)
there, even if you're not one yourself.

There are quite a few restaurants within a block or so of the
convention center (if you go out the main entrance) things like PF
Chang's are pretty easy to find.

Also, the IGDA Writing SIG will have a booth in the lobby of the
convention center along with the local Austin IGDA chapter. The SIG is
planning to have an official "lunch spot" designated each day and you
can find out where it is by stopping by our booth if you would like to
join us for a more food-oriented gathering. (Although for  me it's
always about the food... but I digress.)

ARG enthusiasts/developers are always welcome in a Game Writing group
as we all share an interest in interactive narrative of one kind or
another. So if you're feeling social next week, join us!
