A couple of things:

Last Tuesday was a great IGDA meeting, I really enjoyed participating in the talks! We had a couple people from the Dirty Rectangles Crew there. Looking forward to the next one.

We have weekly meetings every Thursday at Oh So Good. We meet up around 7pm, and make our way down to the Honest Lawyer around 9.

Drop by our forums to participate and start learning about events.

Lastly, We have a Facebook Page ! Log-in, and become a fan.
