IGC scary prospect ;-)

It's interesting all the game developers conferences that went by (and i don't mean the official gdc, i just mean in general). I have social anxiety which means I usually don't go to anything with alot of people. With other conferences I had excuses "not enough money" or "too far for me to go" but the IGC is Eugene, that's practically out my back door (well 2-3 hours at least), and the price is low. Now I almost have no excuse (well the money thing is still a bit of an issue)... So it's scary to think that I could actually go to one of these things... Who knows maybe I will be there, and maybe I won't :-)

I know what you mean Keith. I really feel very awkward around new people. It took me 2 years of highschool before I came out of my shell. Everytime I meet new people the same cycle starts again. I also have had panic attacks that have kept me from wanting to leave the house.

I want to go to Eugene for the IGC from Albany NY. My problem now is I am scared to fly because of 911 (scared before that). Also I don't travel and feel nervous about getting lost or something. I have vacation in Oct. but I don't think my wife would want to come with me either.

Maybe I will be able to suck it up and go.
