Gaming LA, 10/12/11 Edition: Drink Up!

In this edition: Join a great social party this week at GameDevDrink, get into the Leadership Forum for free as a volunteer, and celebrate as we congratulate all the IndieCade winners!

This Thursday is the monthly "GameDevDrinkUp" event in Santa Monica! Enjoy socializing with your peers, but please drink responsibly - don't drink and drive...unless it's in-game, then it's hilarious!

When: Thursday, 10/13 from 8- ~12pm (occurs second Thurs. of every month)
Where: McCabe's Bar & Grill, 2455 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90404

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Leadership Forum is in need of more volunteers! If you want to attend, but can't afford the cash, why not pay with your time? You can help your fellow devs while attending sessions for free! If you would like to volunteer, please send an email (subject: "LF Volunteer") to: brandii@igda.org

[Update]: Don't have the time to volunteer? We have added a discount code: IGDAProducer, which is good for 25% off for ALL IGDA Members!
