Beers and conversation with an international sound designer in Cape Town on the 21st November
Joonas Turner (who has received pretty prestigious awards for his work on Nuclear Throne and did brilliant audio work on Badlands among other games, amounting to around 150 jam games and 17 commercial titles) is in Cape Town until the 23rd of November.
(That's my description, he'd definitely describe himself more modestly)
It might be cool to hold some kind of "Beer with Joonas" event if some developers want to meet him (or otherwise just hang out). Sound designers in particular might be able to benefit from hearing about his experiences.
Let me know if you're keen to join for something like this. Perhaps we can meet up at some place like Toad On The Road in Westlake later this week. Suggestions for venue are welcome.
[Edit] We're going to do this on Saturday the 21st November.

Sounds like a rad suggestion - Andrew and I could do Thursday at 18h00, or Friday at 16h00. If we do Friday, my band Nomadic Orchestra has a gig in Noordhoek which is open to the public (might need bookings though, and is also a dinner/eating vibe), in which case we could all go to the gig after some beer at Toad on the Road?
Let us know what Joonas thinks and if those times will work for you!
Rad
(ie: I'm in).
Looks like we'll be doing it this Saturday the 21st of November.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for venue? Toad is pretty rad, and is good for drinks, food and largish groups of people talking, but if we're treating our Finnish guest there might be a more memorable location?
If not, when I say "Toad" I mean "Toad on the Road" (the original)
Great food, great company, great evening.
