CoG Group picture @ PAX

AniAko · 08-22-2011, 08:12 PM

We've settled on a PAX Group picture time! It will be Saturday between 5pm-6pm in the lobby of the Convention center, (if we have the PAX shirts done, you're encouraged to wear them). Yes, we used to do it in the morning. Yes, we used to do it in the hotel lobby. We figure Saturday is the day most of the PAX goers will be in attendance, and doing it in the late afternoon doesn't have us waiting on anyone to "get up at at them" preventing people from getting a good place in the queue. And we chose the convention center because we're pretty much all going to be there already!

If any of this changes, updates will be sent out via the @CoGPAX twitter account, and on the CoGPAX Beluga pod (contact myself or Ghostbear if you want in on the Beluga pod).

As I tried to elude in the Beluga - I'd like to suggest the outdoor "smoking area" upstairs near mural-painting (near where the Intel booth always is, where the DeLorean was last year). Not immediately by the glass, but further out there's a little courtyard area that's usually pretty quiet.

The lobby (if you mean downstairs near the elevators) may be a bit high-traffic to get a good group photo - particularly with the size of our group this year we'll need a lot of space to do it?

At the very least, we can scope it out on Friday and make a decision via twitter/beluga for the final location.

We can do it up there, I think congregating near the entrance will be easier, especially for new comers who might not know where that is, then move as a group to take the picture together

So... this conflicts with the Acquisitions, Inc. panel, which concludes at 5:30. I don't know about the rest of you, but I do not plan to miss any of that thing.

Yeah, I will be at D&D live too. It's part o' the job!

Snooooooozzzeeeeee

AniAko · 08-25-2011, 11:15 AM

We can push it a little later, I don't think we wanted to encroach on anyone's dinner plans for the evening, although a lot of us are doing the creole restaurant. If no one has objections, we can push the picture to 5:45

AniAko · 08-26-2011, 11:27 PM

So we'll gather for the cog picture tomorrow b/w 5:45-6pm in the con-center lobby. You're encouraged to wear your CoG shirt if you have one

High traffic area, We'll probably need to pile into a corner to get that picture taken. Who is taking it?

wyeast · 08-27-2011, 08:34 AM

Before it was bapenguin who took the shot. He just has to remember not to point the remote right in front of him during the picture.

Where's the pictures? It was epic to have Tycho join in on the pic, and we need the TF2 group pic to load as a Message of the Day on the server!

It really was. I still hope my epic photobomb shows up, though!

Unfortunately, the subsequent Buddha shot and the TF2 shot (on my camera at least) were way underexposed - sometimes a risk when you have other cameras/flashes going off at the same time. Maybe Liquid's got a better catch on those shots?

Haha, my photobomb DID end up in the picture!

Easily fixed, I'm sure.

Ink Asylum · 08-30-2011, 09:31 AM

Nice score getting Tycho in there. Did he see the group gathering and ask who you guys were?

iHap · 08-30-2011, 09:39 AM

He was actually getting in an elevator when we all shouted his name. He ran over and took the picture with us.

Bone · 08-30-2011, 09:39 AM

Aniako yelled at him to join us and he was more than happy to oblige. I dare say it was magical.

Ink Asylum · 08-30-2011, 09:44 AM

Awesome.

Wish I could've been there, but PAX East is so much closer.

Someone needs to identify everyone in that photo. I have no idea what most of you look like.
