Otronicon
http://www.otronicon.org/index.html
In a nutshell it's a 10 day gaming convention being held at the Orlando Science Center in January. It sounds freakin' sick and I want to go on some of those days. I can't find out how much it costs to get in. I wouldn't mind volunteering if it doesn't get in the way of my schedule(which it most likely will). There's also an article on it at http://www.gamesindustry.biz/press_release.php?aid=13075 that gives more information on the event. Anyways who's down with going?
Kentward -
Are you with Otronicon? I wanna say thanks for the link to The PGL if you are...
I also want to get in contact with an organizer to plan on having a tourney scheduled for the convention. We're willing to do one. They can send us an email at
Thanks again.
No, I'm not with otronicon or the Orlando Science Center. I'm just crazy about getting the game industry built up in Orlando and will do any little thing I can as a poor recent Full Sail grad to make it happen. I think this event will help Orlando quite a bit.
I believe the producer of the event's name is Jud French. Unfortunately for your company tourneys have already been scheduled. Maybe next year?
oh yeah... i was speaking in terms of next year... we would have to sit with them now to decide what it is The PGL can provide for the convention 2007.
Well somehow Jud French caught wind of what The PGL is doing in Florida...
Thanks for the heads up on the event... I found out about it on this forum...
Hey guys!
I just wanted to let you all know that there are now "official forums" for Otronicon. Please let us know how we can make this year even better!
Thanks,

This thing starts next Friday. I don't know how often I will go but I'm hoping to meet some really cool people. Hope to meet some of you guys as well.
And yes this is a bump.
