This week was the Game Developers Conference in Austin! Not too epic this year, but also too pricey for me to attend. I did however, apply to be a volunteer (but I think applied too late...).

Some of the Gearbox folk were in town, so that's pretty exciting! I had dinner on Monday with my previous boss, and also got dropped an invite to an audio shindig and to a private Valve party. Both were great! With an ample amount of people and free drinks (om nom nom!), I met a few new faces and got to hang out with a few familiar ones as well.

Networking is awfully scary, though! Unfortunately, I don't have business cards made yet, but I did make a little business card holder before the festivities!




Thursday, Eric and I also attended an Austin Game Developer's semi-steampunk party. I tiny bit of networking, but more importantly, we saw a mime sing during Rockband! They also had a fun dark circus, gypsy like band playing with a contact juggling mime.That Damned Band, check them out!
