For anyone wondering about food we tend to go have a bite to eat after the meetup, at Perseverance Tavern nearby. Good beer selection.
I'm putting this forward instead of talks, but not instead of Focused Feedback slots or games stuff.
Really miss the meetups, but it is a bit far now since its moved.
Would you be open to us running a 2nd chapter in stellenbosch / somerset west area, I see there are some more indie starts in this area. We can always share material at 2 venues the same dates?
I can arrange with the GrowthSpace owner in somerset west where our Gamelancer offices are.
@Boysano: I don't think trying to split the meetup is a good idea, getting more people to the CT meetups is much better IMHO. However, we can offer a regular lift from Stellenbosch to the meetups if that would help you. Also, maybe a regular drinks evening about halfway between the CT meetups in Stellenbosch or Somerset West (or somewhere between) would be really cool.
Also I'd prefer to not to give my talk this time around, if only because my energy and enthusiasm needs some time to recover ;)
@moodyCake not drunk, just allowed to drive myself.
Just happen to be in CPT, so would really appreciate the opportunity!

Leaving at 5pm ish.
I have 2-3 spots in my car.
I do want to do a talk for next time about tweening in Unity using HOTween (slightly programmer centric but I'll add kittens like I did last time), ought to be interesting in general because tweening is the shizz!
[edit] I'll miss you all </3 , anyone want to organise CT MGSA drinks in a week or two somewhere?
