International Gamers With Jobs Day 2012

Pages

Welcome to your 1 stop shop for figuring out what you're doing in October 27th of this year!

In case you're unaware, when members of this community get together to play games, we call that event a Slap and Tickle. Well, every year we try and come together as a community and all meet up on the same day for a massive international S&T.

This year the chosen day is October 27th. All it takes to make an S&T are 2 goodjers, so get at it!

I'll try and keep links to all the IGWJD threads here so people can find them so if you're planning on starting one, please shoot me a PM or post in here.

Current list of IGWJD12 events:

Pencon12
Southern CA
Lodnon
Hedge
Pacific NW

We'll be doing something at The King's Head Pub in Winnipeg again this year. Last year was a blast!

This'll be my third IGWJD with Goodjer friends, and my second with family. Warm fuzzy feelings are abounding

Anywhere two goodjers meet... we are there. Anytime two goodjers exchange either slaps or tickles... we are there. Anytime two goodjers make eye contact, passing meaningful gazes at each other, hoping that perhaps, just this once, love will indeed spring eternal... we are there.

We are GAMERS. WITH. JOBS!!!!!

Or something. Once I escape from the avalanche of work I am currently buried under, I'll put up my thread for the SF area event. Woot!

Oh, one for each other and everyone,
The Goodjer eclectic are we!
Brother to sister and anyone,
We Goodje together!

We play games together,
and sing songs but never,
Will Goodjers be rendered asunder.
And wherever we go,
From Maine to Conseco,
and even far out there down-under!

We will Goodje together!
We will Goodje together!
We will Goodje together!
And Goodjers we always will...BE!!

*Butt-pat*

I am excited to spend this years IGWJD with the goodjers at PenCon eating fresh apple butter.

Anything planned for the NJ/NY area yet?

I'd be down for something in the area.

I had completely forgotten that Pencon 2012 coincided with IGWJD. My first official gathering. Oh so very excited.

I'm in! pub + board games = a good time

Anything on the West Coast?

I am definitely hosting something in the Bay Area, but I haven't put together the full details yet. I think RubbEd and a few other folks in the southern Cal (I think LA/Orange County) area usually do something too.

I wonder if I can convince my wife to let me host something in CT. My house isn't huge but the basement is awesome for gaming related stuff. Plus, it will give me an excuse to stock the bar

Alas, I can not toodle to PenCon this year. If someone else doesn't get something going in NY/NJ — we'll see what the wife says about opening the house, or just meet somewhere for drinkingness.

A chance to see my northern friends, and visit the almighty Hedgecon... that is tempting!

We've discussed it, but I don't think anything's pulled together. I'd like to this year, though.

Something will definitely be happening in the Seattle area, but I have no idea what yet. I gotta get through PAX first, gang.

I'll see what I can get going for this side of the pond, but we might need to have ours early so that Maq can join in before he moves to Sweden.

Rubb let me know if you want assistance i have my own place (not suitable for hosting but maybe for a couple of GWJ'ers to crash at and I'm in Culver City so i'm pretty central

Anything happening down under?

That's a little too personal...

Spoiler:

...but yes

Well im sure pneuman, AP_Erebus and I shall hang out here in MEL, but that is all too common these days now anyway!

I should be up for any UK-based shenanigans.

DC is in! We were in Maryland last year. What do folks want this year?

I might just try and catch up with Black Sabre. Oh the anticipation...

Any other SandGropers, yell out! We could find somewhere that's central to us all, and arrange a bevy (or two) between us.

So the answer to this...

...would be a definite maybe. You just might have the wrong continent though

Shall do, but there are a few people down in San Diego that would probably like to participate. I don't know how much that skews "central", since there's only a small handful of us in Orange County, and I don't know how many up in the LA area.

I'll start a separate thread so we can see what the consensus is.

My family is down for Seattle-area doings, though I haven't actually told them yet.

I will actually be on vacation in Tampa, FL on 10/27. We're visiting family, so I might be able to sneak away if there is anything going on.
