So the worst thing about GDC is its size. It's the best game conference on the planet, without a doubt, but you'd need to be able to shard yourself in order to actually get the most out of it. Take my Summits pass: it gets me into something like 7 summits over the Monday and Tuesday, 3 of which I really really want to go to: Serious Games, MMOs and Indie Games. And they're all on at the same time!
So Moxie's just distracted me from my head scratching by sending in word of these giant sewn vinyl classic Atari game box plushes. You following? Sewn Atari plushes. Giant ones. See: Skiing.
Just beautiful!
The maker has made a pile of them, too. They seem to be for Giant Robot here in SF.
(Thanks Moxie, as ever!)
Are you coming to the show on Friday night at Giant Robot? At least you'll be able to play some exclusive indie games there if you can't make the indie games panel.

Nice! Enjoy the panel.
The reception for the "Game Over/Continue?" show is on Friday night from 6:30-10:00 at Giant Robot San Francisco. It's only a few miles from GDC.
The show is going to have videogame-inspired art as well as four indie games made by indie game makers teaming up with Giant Robot artists.
The team-ups are:
* Saelee Oh and Anna Anthropy
* Hellen Jo and Derek Yu
* Souther Salazar and Petri Purho
* Deth P Sun and Jonatan Söderström (Cactus)
You can see the show flyer at http://artxgame.com
Consider this your personal invite. :) Hope to see you there!
(Disclaimer: I'm helping run the show.)

Aw yer too kind :)
Will try to make it, but it's very dependent on GDC and childcare. Sounds amazing tho.
