We are trying to plan a trip to GDC Austin.  The conference is October 10th-13th, 2011.  Registration to attend is in AUGUST before school begins next fall.  We want to know who would be seriously interested in attending this event.

Entrance to the conference costs $150.  Depending on the amount of Aggies attending, TAGD may pay for a portion of this.  Remember that this is an excellent way to meet game developers who may offer advice and knowledge about the industry and your future career!
