Official CTN 2014 Planning!

November will be here before you know it!

CLICK HERE to join in the Tea Time Animation official CTNx 2014 planning thread to figure out your carpools, hotel rooms, and anything else you might need to bring before the great SoCal migration. (Portfolio reviews, anyone?)

CTNx 2014 is November 21-23, and will be held at the delightful Burbank Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, 2500 North Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA. While it is probable that they are already booked up, I might advise calling with them to double check before going elsewhere. You can reach the front desk at (818) 237-3615‎.

In other news:We're going to be heading to CTNx in style. That's right! Our final Tea Shirt and Hoodie orders for Fall 2014 are placed and on their way to printing. We will delivering all merchandise to CTNx go-ers Thursday evening/Friday morning of the Conference. Not attending? Don't worry! Stop by to pick up your swag at the next Tea Time meeting.

Happy Animating!

February Game Developer's Drink Up

This Thursday is the second of the month which means it's Game Developer drink up night! Woo! Here's the text copied directly from the RSVP page:

It's that time, and we can't help but feel loved that you'll be spending Valentine's Day Eve with your local DrinkUp chapter. 

What better way to celebrate your passion of video games than with your local game development community! So, join us for a candle-lite evening of networking, tasteful libations from Twitch & raffles of surprises you'll hope to win.

When: Thurs., 2/13 from 8 - 11PM
Where: Dear Mom – 2700 16th St., San Francisco 94103
Raffle & 50 free drinks by Twitch

Some FAQ:

Do I have to RSVP to attend?
Nope! It just helps Warren and team get a good idea of what the numbers will be.

But what about the screening?
Yes, this is the same day as the Mr. Peabody and Sherman screening - but this is in the evening, so don't worry, you can do both!

I mean, I'm an <animator/modeler/lighter/rigger/texture artist>, but that doesn't mean I'm a "game dev", does it? Can I still go?
Not a problem! You don't need to have shipped a game to come to the event -- it would be nearly if it was only people who already had a job! This is a chance for you to rub elbows with people you might like to work with some day, ask a few questions, and - more importantly - have a few beers among friends.
