Updated! There was some confusion with the Hotel block, but we’re clearing it up. We will have a block of discounted rooms available for Go Play NW. Details will appear here shortly.

That’s right, registration is now open for Go Play NW 2011. And we’re thrilled to be able to keep our ticket prices the same for the third year in a row! On our Eventbee page you can register for the whole weekend or just one day, sign up for the Friday Night Feast too, and order a t-shirt*.
Early registration helps us pay our site deposit and plan better. It also makes us happy to know you’re coming. And it ensures you’ll be able to attend—we sold out in advance last year, we’ve got room for a few more people this year but don’t count on a last-minute registration.
So, you’re here reading this post: you might as well register now. Right? Right.
*We haven’t got the Sasquatch to pose for a design yet; we think he’s nervous about how to top last year’s. As soon as we can get him to sit down for a moment and pose, we’ll get a t-shirt design worked up to show you all.

That’s right, it’s on! Go Play NW 2011 will be held Friday July 8 to Sunday July 10 in the Northwest Rooms (naturally) at Seattle Center. (Really, it’s hard to get more Seattle-centric than playing yards away from the Space Needle.) It’s a great location at a great time of year to be in Seattle, and who doesn’t want to spend a whole weekend having an awesome time playing games? You want to, that’s for sure.
We’ll be getting more information up in the next few weeks and opening registration soon, so keep checking back here. For now, mark those dates on your calendar, and start dreaming…

Things have been very quiet around here since last June and the conclusion of Go Play NW 2010. But I’m dropping by to let you know that it’s a common misconception that sasquatches hibernate for the winter. In fact, behind the scenes, we’ve been busily working on arrangements for Go Play NW 2011.
The Sasquatch has been tromping around town, glancing up at the sky and irritably wondering if it was going to snow again, and looking at venues old and new for this year’s Go Play NW. We asked him how it’s going, and he grunted, “Hrrr grungl grak HARRK HARRK hrmflflg!” at us. We’re not sure, but we think that means things are moving along. So check back soon, we should start having announcements about when you’d expect in February. In the meantime, I think I’d better go make some hot chocolate for the Sasquatch. He could use it.
