Although there are less than three weeks until  the August 23-26 Ludum Dare, there is yet no “real world meetup” sticky post yet!  I noticed the guys in Montpelier have posted about their meetup, and so I am posting regarding our meetup, and maybe it’s time to poke PoV or sorceress or someone to ask them about the sticky post.

Meanwhile, I am thrilled to announce that despite plans to be in Portland OR, the Maker Fair in Dover NH that I wanted to go to, other game jams in the bay area I could be at that weekend, the feast day of Éogan of Ardstraw, father’s day in Nepal, and a million other things I could (and should) be doing and places I could be, I am hosting the Ludum Dare 27 meetup at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment in Oakland, California!

If you’ve been before it will be very similar – a bunch of tables, never enough extension cords and power strips, internet, we have a coffee pot this time!, food down the street, and we’ll have a couple of video games set up for the occasional break (and I really do hope to set up Dance Dance Revolution again).  The only real new thing that I’ve done is organize a meetup page so I can get a good idea of how many people will be coming.  Sign up here!

Okay maybe it doesn’t look that exciting and yes the chairs could use a little work but no really it’s awesome!  Come join us!
