(Now that I've *finally* read this post -- I've seriously had it open in a browser to read for months...)

A lot of these memories remind me of similar ones that I'm sure we both share from WPI -- especially the "pillar chat" (did we coin that term sitting outside of Founders that year?).

Last year I was unusually shy about being a shutterbug, but I really enjoyed this psychogeography, and I'm sure you got even more out of writing it, so I think I'll specifically take more photos so that I can do the same for GDC this year.

In particular, I'll be sure to grab shots from which I can built my "first two years at GDC" psychogeography. Hopefully it will help you (and many others I've talked to) understand that GDC in San Francisco is still a magical thing for n00bs, despite all the growth and the relative lack of quirky, traditional places to hang out. (I've already grown quite fond of the Marriott)

Thanks for the trip down memory lane man! I lived right around the convention center when I was interning at Google. Seeing your photos makes me really miss the place :/

Awww, you had wine at your first party? That’s classy ;-).

I feel that dude, I’ve got some memories myself but they’re probably not publishable.
