Official Gamers with Jobs Slap & Tickle Heard 'Round the World! October 23rd

dimmerswitch: looks like current beta of skype allows 10 people to all video in
dimmerswitch: windows only
dimmerswitch: but may be a way to go

Do we wanna get 10 of the S&T on Skype on the 23rd?

just wondering........

I updated the OP, but so others might see it:

Here's the official thread, but thanks to trueheart78 and oilypenguin, you can now purchase the incredible image above (lovingly crafted by Mr. 7inchsplit himself) with proceeds benefiting Child's Play.

For the low, low price of $15 US, you can own your very own Unofficial GWJ Poster commemorating the International Goodjer Day Slap & Tickle Heard 'Round the World! And don't forget, the proceeds go straight to Child's Play! What are you waiting for? Buy three today!

Does it allow for international shipping?

I'm pretty sure it does, yeah. But since we're taking the shipping cost out of the $15, make sure you many of them so we can keep the margins up =)

I was thinking on paying the shipping on top of the 15 bucks, or else I believe my transaction would bring my contribution to a negative something.

PM Trueheart, I'm not sure of the logistics. If we discussed it, I forgot (which isn't surprising).

He does suggest it is for international orders as well. I do imagine that US/NA orders are subsidizing (to some extent) the international orders. But perhaps not. Trueheart is offering a phenomenal deal thanks to his connections, which seems to have drastically lowered the printing and S&H costs.

I cannot reiterate enough how awesome this has been!

Shipping is free domestically and internationally. You've no excuse! None!

I guess I'll have to break into a church tonight and get some funding then. Do mind that the portuguese gwj collective is of about one, give or take some mental schisms once in a while. So, I don't think we'll contribute with super decisive values

I am definitely down with this. Some thoughts on this:

1. Identify who. Some of the S&Ts are going to be held at bars and thus won't be able to connect in.
2. should we test it out beforehand?
3. determine the time. Of course we can spin up a couple of these to accommodate various locales/peoples. Or maybe, depending on how this works (assuming two people start a call and can add folks in later), each place can dial-in at their will and just leave the connection on for as long as they want/are able.

So with these posters, what about getting some of them shipped to S&Ts to help cut down on shipping?

Filthy skimmer!

Although having a couple extras on hand might be useful for people who want a souvenir.

So was anyone in the Philadelphia area interested in doing anything at all?

Saving on shipping for the shipper, not the recipient. If there's going to be a bunch of people at S&Ts, why not? :p

You need to come to the DC/North VA S&T.

You guys really should read the product description...

TH, chastise him properly next month, he's coming to ours.

We really should talk about who wants posters in our thread. We just won't ship those.

Reading is for wussies!

I see that there is a Chicago S&T but wondering if there are other Minnesotans like me that probably can't make the drive down there but want to get together.

I grew up in the area and only just moved away this summer, otherwise I'd be all over a Philly S&T. I know Nevin is in Wilmington and there are a few others floating around. BUT, the easiest thing to do is to follow KrazyTaco's suggestion and come down here - you don't have to plan anything!

Humbug, I am leaving for LA on the 21. I'd love to be at home here in Winnipeg for whatever that event turns out to be. I can't seem to load that map on an iPhone, so I'll take a look what's up in LA when I get home from work today.

Unfortunately without a car to call my own such a trip is looking unpossible.

Alas, another sacrifice that must be made due to unemployment (f*ck you economy! And f*ck Philly for not having enough front-end low-level jobs available).

Could happen. Grumpy's talk about coming out this way was making me lean in that direction...

why, WHY?! So oct 23 is Blizzcon, my reason for being in LA. If I wasnt there for that, I'd drive the 6 hours to SF to make that particular party. Anyone else in this conundrum? If so, I look forward to our very own S&T while I (we) stand in line for various things

Fear not, for I believe MrWynd is trying to rally GWJ folks attending Blizzcon to gather on the Blizzcon site to honor our international GWJ day

ehh. i dont think anyone wants to do it.......

Oh no, I think people want to do it, Donut, the problem is logistics.

For instance, in all probability, the Ohio one is going to be the biggest one we have. But it go so big I was forced to find a new venue big enough to accommodate it. A venue that I'm not sure has internet. =(

I think since a lot of the S&Ts happening came up as a response to the other S&Ts, we'll be better prepared next year to link them all together with video but it's hard enough getting people to host, let alone organizing a mass video chat.
