A June date would work better for me as well.
I'd love to go to this, but we're wrapping up a project at work at the moment so post-E3 would work out better for me.
A June date would work better for me as well.
Let's just hold off on this then and wait until after E3 to find a date that gives everyone a little time to prepare. Counting one extra child plus MaybeNever and Douglas that would get us to fifteen which I believe is Chet's suggested limit. Looks like E3 runs from June 5-7 this year so I'll bump this thread possibly mid-June and we can look at a late June get together at Valve. Any objections?
Sounds good to me.
As long as we don't get into mid-July, it's all good to me. June or early July would be great.
Sounds good!
The after-E3 June timeframe sounds good to me.
Yep, add me to the "would love it do it if it's after E3" list please. :)
I'm in for the late June/early July as well.
Dig it! I'll bring the firecrackers. (j/k)
Hey kids! I didn't forget about this but ... Ok I kind of did. So, how's everybody doing, still interested in this thing? Hopefully the folks at Valve have recovered from E3 and might be up for some drooling Qt3 fanboys walking through the halls? I'm assuming the list of interested people is unchanged, if that's incorrect post here and we'll update the count. If we have a date/time that works, I'll ask a Valve representative (though Chet is the only one I can identify around these parts) to let us know if we're still on, and when would work best.
Apropos of nothing at all, today is my son's one month birthday - happy birthday Connor!
Still up for this, just suggest a date! If it happened on a weekend, a pre/post-tour meetup would be fun too.
Weekends are hard, no one around - including me... but pick a week day this week? Next week? Let me know.
I was kind of wondering about that actually - weekends would be good for not getting in the way of actual work getting done, but we can't ask someone to take time out of their weekend just to show us around. So! What do you say, folks, any preferences? I'll go ahead and put mine out there: all else being equal, I'd like to shoot for a Friday afternoon. Partly because I work from home on Fridays so it's pretty easy for me to scoot out, and partly because by the end of the week we should hopefully be fairly inconspicuous, or at least not get in people's way as much, I hope. What do you all think?
Can we do this in Los Angeles?
-Tom
We have tours through every day, won't be getting in the way at all.
OK cool, I didn't realize that. So, the question is open to the public: when shall we do this?
I'm going to randomly suggest Friday 6/29. Thoughts?
- Alan
Fine with me.
6/29 works excellently for me.
Oh, and I'd still love to bring one or both of my teens along if room permits. Obviously, other forum folks take priority.
I'll have to bow out guys. I wanted to go, but the 29th is a bad day for me.
Have fun all! I expect pictures posted here!
I won't be able to make it. Pictures please!
I'm jealous of you guys. Have fun!
Well, unfortunately at this point all of June is booked solid. If were choosing a date it would have to be more than two weeks out, so way too late for everyone else.
I don't know if I can retroactively add a poll to this thread, and I am kind of reluctant to create a new one, just out of concern of further muddying the waters here. If all the folks who want to attend want to just throw out a date that works for you, I am ok with tracking that info and trying to find a compromise that hopefully works for everyone.
I'm out of town in the last week+ of July. Other than that, I'm agreeable.
I'd like to put my name on the list of interested parties.
6/29 works well for me, but I'm pretty flexible so just about anything will do.
