Souri's recommended plan for the total Sumea AGDC experience...
Wednesday night: Sumea meet up, then pub
Thursday night: pub
Friday night: sneak MoonUnit into pub
Saturday night: pub
Sunday morning before flight home: pub
That sounds familiar ;) Wasn't that what you did for Freeplay.

Is there place we are eating at along the water where those towers that blow the fire at night?
That is Crown Casino. Southbank is past that - but along the river. I will make sure to be at the front door of the convention center at 6:15 to meet anyone - grab my mobile!

Monday during flight: more drinks
Monday after arival: fairwell drinks to airport
Tuesday to Friday before QANTM Industry Night: recovery
we've got some good ones so far (today being 1:36 saturday morning and me having had a few drinks), inlcuding some interesting pics and fottage from the big party night. giant sump suits, mechanical surfboards and a ps2 sing star comp - which i atempted to enter but the song my mate chose i had never heard before so i was at a total loss. oh well, the free drinks card made up for it. anyway, really needing to get some sleep now. latters
Oky doky well confrence is over and since both the qantum and AIE guys made it into the unsigned game finals they are currently at the gala dinner thingy (the awards and all that are now a part of the final night dinner thing (which costs a whole bunch extra to get into)), thus i am not out tonight and able to post these up for your enjoyment :P
I apologise that i met many people over the course of the confrence and dont remember absolultely everyones name, also there were more photos taken i just didnt want to upload a whole ton so if your not here apologies, the photo(s) that featured you was either dodgy or didnt include other people (and thus to get the maximum of people here, i uploaded group shots only). you can allways PM me if you knew a shot was taken of you and you would like it (btw if a shot of you was taken by cheryl, that was my camera she was using so i have those pics).
breif report, we had food at the southbank foodcourt and met up (i personally arrived a bit late :P ), then after that proceeded onto the sports bar (where these pics were taken) in crown.

Oh and one last thing, bars moonunit stayed in: 2 bars moonunit was refused entry/ kicked out of: 2
all in all id call that a win enough ;)
as for the sumea challenge of barf on bill ropers shoes... well since i wasnt at the big party night or the final dinner someone else will have to fill you in on how that went :P
Bill was great about it :) I ended up telling him on Friday morning about the challenge. He was happy because he wore his best shoes for the occasion.
He was a really cool guy - I was impressed. He was very much a dag and good for some laughs.
At the dinner he was running around with two nerf guns doing the whole Neo thing with em. Then he started to use random people as shields when he was shooting other people. At one stage during the night he came up to me laughing and said "Some guy I don't know just came up and apologised to me for not being drunk enough to barf on my shoes."
In the end we did get some really good shots with bill and the guys from scooterama :)
We should at least win a prize for getting Moonie into a few pubs - and for even getting bill into the whole barf thing!

Bill had one amazing nerfgun skill... he could hold a nerf gun in each hand, and cock the gun with his thumb, so he was firing continuously from both hands - Everyone else needed two hands to use a single gun!!
hello all,
thanks to all AIE guys and other ppl like MoonUnit who showed us QANTM guys around Melbourne.
Hunting Bill down was awesome and the comradery between students was good to see. I wonder which of you I'll end up working with.
I've also decided that Joel will be one of my subordinates... perhaps in QA. :)
I'm sure myself and my team, LiveWire is one of em ( unfortunately [:p] ) would love to meet up with you guys for some food and a chat so we will deff be there.
We will call you on the 1st to confirm, cant wait.
We too are showing our game in the indie section so cant wait to play everyone elses.
