Today is the last day to buy discount-rate tickets for GDC. This year isn't the first year I have legitimately considered attending. Given the exciting opportunities available for networking, pimping games in production, and generally building many new bridges into somewhat distant worlds, it is an enticing opportunity.

The big problem is this show goes down the week before finals. . . and it is the week I am tentatively scheduling to start at that new place. Looks like the $1,000 tickets will go unpurchased, unless I find a wealthy benefactor.

Today is also the last day of January and it appears I have surpassed my initial goal of 20,000 points. Yay me!

. . . Now back to pricing wars.
