GDC 2008: Day 0

Posted in Industry at 2:37 am by Rob

This year, I am once again attending the GDC as a Conference Associate, so today was spent doing various preparatory tasks at the Moscone Center. Well, to be fair, the bulk of the day was taken up by one particularly draining task: tote bag stuffing. Frankly, I’m sure the conference totes are one of those things most people take for granted; that said, the group of CAs working on them only just barely finished assembling them before Midnight, and I am just now home and contemplating sleep.

So, please, I beg you: if you’re attending the GDC this week, for the love of God, at least sort through and *look* at the contents of your tote before dumping it out in a corner somewhere and grabbing your conference schedule. A lot of love and tears went into making the damn things, and there’s actually a few neat/useful things in there this year.

No socks this time, though. Damnit.
