Heading to San Francisco

It’s March and that means it’s time for GDC in San Francisco! I’ll be heading to town this weekend and staying through the week. Right now I’m planning on attending the Online & Social Gaming Summit and Indie Gaming Summit — if you’re attending either of those let’s meet up for lunch! In addition to the summits, I’ll be wandering around the booths and hitting up whatever events look interesting. Anyway, if you’re in the area and would like to get together let me know!

It’s titled The Cleaner.
