Although there are less than three weeks until\u00a0 the August 23-26 Ludum Dare, there is yet no \u201creal world meetup\u201d sticky post yet!\u00a0 I noticed the guys in Montpelier<\/a> have posted about their meetup, and so I am posting regarding our meetup, and maybe it\u2019s time to poke PoV or sorceress or someone to ask them about the sticky post.<\/p>\n

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 \u00c9ogan of Ardstraw, father\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been before it will be very similar \u2013 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\u2019ll have a couple of video games set up for the occasional break (and I really do hope to set up Dance Dance Revolution again).\u00a0 The only real new thing that I\u2019ve done is organize a meetup page so I can get a good idea of how many people will be coming.\u00a0 Sign up here!<\/a><\/p>\n
