That would involve me actually remembering to do that over the course of a week or so.

I'd rather just have a native tell me What The Weather Is Like There Around This Time Of Year.

 		the bruce: I can probably do dinner on Thursday though I am not sure how much I want to spend.

More ARGFest info:
Register! - I need to be sure to order enough food for breakfast for us. I can't do that until I know how many people are going to attend.

About Cruel2 B Kind - please register! http://www.cruelgame.com/
I got an email from Jane suggesting that she may change the location to a location she feels will be better for us, but wherever it is, we can get there from the hotel as well as from within SF.

The Exploratorium - we are going on Sunday. We are going to have a sign up sheet so we can collect money (they only take cash) -EGO is going to manage this, and then EGo has so kindly volunteered to buy the tickets for us in advance and hand them out to people.

Schedule -As mentioned, the best thing about ARGFest is leaving it flexible for the schedule to be finalized. Just in the past two days I have had inquiries from Lonelygirl15 people - the video people and the Op Aphid PM as well as an offer from 42 entertainment to do a roundtable presentation for us. Woo!

The final schedule should be ready Monday. Here is a sneak peek:

Sam Lavigne - what people do and keeping them safe
Lonely girl 15?

You know, I think the group rate we are getting doesn't include that Tactile Dome. I don't remember the person I spoke to mentioning it. I can find out on Tuesday, they aren't open on Monday.

 		ARGFest _Festquest
Hi. I need some help here with running Festquest.

I have a number of local people who are helping with putting this together but I really need someone or two or three who can take this over and be responsible for it.

I am finding that I am behind in tasks I need to get done for ARGFest due to my son's illness as well as things like having 2 times the numbers of speakers we had before, arranging stuff with a hotel that is all the way across the country and various other stuff. You would be surprised how many phone calls and emails there are.

Anyway, I love planning ARGFest, which is why I volunteer to do it. It is so much fun to see everyone and talk about games.

But, I do need help with this. Anyone who is interested can PM me here.

Thanks!!!!

Hey all! A quick tip on Cruel 2 B Kind team organizing...

If you check out the rules on the website (www.cruelgame.com) you'll notice that when one team assassinates another team, they immediately join forces and play together for the rest of the game as an alliance.

So even if you show up alone, you won't be alone for long -- just kill or get killed, and presto! You're part of a bigger team.

By the end of the game, it's usually one mob versus another mob. So no worries about playing solo -- you won't be solo for long...
You may then want to remove the part of the reg form that says "You should bring at least one partner to play" and get rid of the fatal error message when you try to register w/o teammate emails. Just suggesting. Fortunately for me, I have a number of imaginary friends and my own domain. P)

 		Just got an update on Cruel 2 B Kind from Jane:

Quote:
Hi Rose!

I've updated the game location to a much better one – it's right by Yerba Buena/Loews/Moscone and the Powell Street BART.

I've got a blog post about it that explains all: http://avantgame.blogspot.com/2007/02/play-with-me-march-2-san-francisco-game.html

There will be cupcakes and surprises for any players who can recognize me! (I'll be PMing on the go around the game area… if attacked, I'll be doling out some interesting surprises…)


Also Addie

Sorry about that. I didn't have the panels done until just before I posted this. I think I mentioned a couple of places that the topics would be "how to PM a game" and "the future of ARGs" but I didn't have anything finalized much sooner than i posted this. I was hoping that the list of speakers and the topics would be enough -but I can see now how that was way too general.

 		Woo! I'm officially going to ARGfest!

Since I'm doing this so totally last minute, I'm totally uninformed on what's going on, heh. I've read the wiki, but I don't see anywhere what time the dinner is going to be on Friday. I assume it will be after Cruel2BKind?

Yes, after C2BK...not yet decided, no time yet. If folks are coming in on Friday later (too late to play but not too late to meet up with us for dinner, or after dinner drinks), swap phone numbers with those of us in town early and we'll let you know where we are when you arrive.

 		I'm going to be arriving Sunday morning for the GDC, so there's a chance I might be able to meet up for a lunch of some kind? It's up in the air at this point, but at least it's a possibility!

Perhaps the location of dinner could be decided beforehand so people who will be there for dinner can plan to meet up there if they're not playing c2bk. I think the dinner is a good official starting event for people who are there friday evening for argfest.
