GDC 09: Deprogrammed Day 2

DAY 0110-2

A day of finally meeting lots of people face to face, and catching up with long lost friends.

Got a good chance to grab some breakfast this morning with some guys from the Game Audio Network Guild - chomped on my favorite breakfast EVARRRR. Everything bagel, toasted, cream cheese. Simple, yet oh so satisfying.

Afternoon of business meetings, and a quiet evening with a long lost friend I haven't seen in 15 years. It was great to finally catch up. We went to elementary school together, and kept in touch throughout the years - It was a small private school , and if memory serves me correctly I think both of us were somewhere within the first 15 students.

So I gotta tell ya - one thing I noticed as I walk between the hotel and convention center - This city is ALIVE. It's a real melting pot for sure. The street musicians are very entertaining, and very resourceful. Saw a guy with his drum set, that had his son playing the freakin cowbell. Bruce Dickinson would have been proud. - A couple blocks down, a book and the sidewalk were another guy's percussive elements of choice.

Favorite quote of the day, after passing a couple gals while crossing the street: "That dude looks like the guy from the Matrix!"

WHOA.
