Shoes.<\/li>\n<li>Get swag early, most of the apparel sells out by Thursday, and the Stuff sells out even faster.<\/li>\n<li>Get to the Convention Center early, I missed some opportunities to network because I was walking into Moscone a half hour before the first session started.<\/li>\n<li>Wear. Walking. Shoes.<\/li>\n<li>Bring a power strip to the hotel. Normally, I bring one if I&#8217;m going to a new place and I know I&#8217;ll be making heavy use of electronics. I thought to myself &#8220;this seems like a relatively modern hotel, it should have enough power outlets for four people.&#8221; No, it did not.<\/li>\n<li>You can&#8217;t switch out of networking mode until you walk in your home door. I was on the shuttle to the airport, and met someone who went to the conference, including three people on my flight out of San Francisco.<\/li>\n<li>Thursday is Kilt Day at GDC. I will celebrate next year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I had some great food while I was there, of course. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Italian. Such a refreshing change from the wide variety of stuff I cook for myself.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have a more full report by Monday.<\/p>\n<p>-Ozz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I went to the Game Developers Conference last week, and I had the time of my life.
