I’m organizing the local meetup in Oakland, CA, at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment.  Organizing anything can be strange and difficult at times.  I came down to the museum early and took some photos of our soon-to-be work space.

In these preparations, some of the things that were planned for this weekend, most of which may or may not be happening:

• A party for the people who donated to the MADE’s Kickstarter campaign
• The fellows from Sifteo bringing their cubes down hoping someone will make games using them.  Good luck getting the games rated!
• The entire city of Oakland made in to a Minecraft map
• A viewing of the movie “Tron”
• A DJ
• Mexican tribal music
• Potatoes
• Saturday morning software programming classes

And that’s just what I remember.  I had nothing to do with most of it, I just asked for a quiet place where I and some internet strangers could work on some software.

There might be a webcam, but only if I set it up, but the one I was going to use went missing.  If I find it I’ll put it in the twitch.tv stream.

Oh and I forgot power strips!    I’ll swing by my house and grab one, and maybe the MADE has some power outlets somewhere….

Not the sexiest of seating, but lots of video games should we get bored.

Just in case more than three people show up, we have additional tables.

Geeks need exercise too!  Although I am wondering how you plug dance mats in to an Atari.

In case we get hungry, or need inspiration, which ever comes first.
