 A Historic Day! - 8:37:36 AM - Dan |
|
Today's the day Saam and I will be catching planes and flying over to Austin Texas, to meet ION Storm and play Thief 3. It's a thing of beauty, I tell you.
Back in May of 2000, I had purchased plane tickets out of my own pocket to fly up to Looking Glass Studios to visit, apply for a position to work on Thief 2, and look at schools in the area so I could go to college up there. When things went the way they did, It changed the course of my life. Now, May, four years later. Things aren't quite the same as they were. I'm going to school at USF in Florida, working towards a degree in architecture. I'm being flown up, as a guest, on an all expenses paid vacation to Texas, and all I have to do to make up for it is play a game, write about it, take lots of pictures, and meet a whole bunch of really, really cool people. Plus, crazy as it may seem, this will be the first time I will meet Saam, my partner in TTLG since it's beginnings in 1998, and even before then on his System Shock 1 fansite. Most of our readers are not familiar with Saam, as he does not post here and rarely frequents the forums. To put it simply, Saam's the guy who procures this site, and all of TTLG, with what it needs to exist in the first place; a place for the server machine to sit and connect to the internet. Hopefully by tonight he and I will be posting our first pictures of our trip. We won't be going to ION Storm until tomorrow, so anything you see today will just be two goofy guys slacking off in a hotel room, or maybe around town, before we get not nearly enough sleep before our romp through party central the next day! Now, I had better get packing. Oh yes, and call my mother...
Update: Started a thread!
