After apparently racking up some pretty good karma, I've spent a good chunk of this summer working in sunny Brighton (woohoo! but alas I'm still fish-belly pale). This Wednesday I'll be there hosting IGDA's Bloggers Group Gathering at the Develop Conference:
This is a meet and greet for game industry bloggers, who so often link to and comment on each other's sites, often becoming quite friendly without ever meeting each other face to face. Now is your chance to know your fellow blog posters face to face! There will be camaraderie and commiseration, and attendees are encouraged to discuss issues facing bloggers: privacy issues, dealing with troublesome posters and spam and choosing the best blog software.
Anyone who run blogs, or who are interested in meeting those who do, are welcome to attend. Those considering starting a gaming blog can pick brains for tips and tricks in starting up your own site. Attendees can take away a sense of kinship with their fellow web warriors, and whatever advice might be gathered from experienced game industry bloggers.
The gathering's from 15.30 - 16.30 Wednesday afternoon, and it's shaping up to be a fun hour. If you'll be around, please stop by the IGDA booth on the Expo floor and say hello!
oooh, you're running directly up against Mizuguchi's talk... 'fraid that you're always gonna lose out on that one Jen!

Well, in the worst-case scenario, it wouldn't be the first hour I'd spent talking to myself. :)

A day out in Brighton sounds fantastic. Shame I didn't know about this before then I would have been tempted to blag my way in.
