I might have a few EXPO passes to GDC. This would at least get you into the career pavilion to talk with hiring companies!! I would prefer people in the area to get them first as I know they are more likely to go. Also sorry students, people with past experience get priority. I have my reasons before I get flamed... Mostly GDC offers large discounts to current students.

Also if possibly please keep requests in the thread. I rarely keep up with my PMs and get so much spam mail would prefer not to flood my mailbox more :)

Just trying to help with people who have been hit with the massive recent layoffs across the industry. My thoughts go out to you as you try to cope with the challenges ahead!

Also If you are outside the area and can arrange to go, there is still a chance just let me know.... I would just prefer not to give a wasted ticket!

I was laid off in October, on Halloween in fact =P
I'm not going to the GDC air fare is an arm and a leg these days. Just wanted to drop by and let others know, that I'm sure things will pick up again, and of course give a major pat on the back to mangledpoly
Seriously that is freaking awesome of you to do that. I wish everyone best of luck, and hope the Ghostbuster game sells like hot cakes, I have some friends up at TR

-cheers :D

Hi! I got laid off in mid-January, so I would be forever grateful if you have an extra pass. I'll definitely be going to GDC. I can't believe how many people have lost their jobs the past 6 months...

I cant thank you enough for doing this!

Fantastic! Thanks! :)

If it's being sent in the mail it may not get here in time. Probably safer to pick it up which I'm more than happy to do. Whatever is easiest for you. I'll PM you my info after posting this. Just let me know which to expect. Thanks again.
