(I would Google it except Google isn't working on my Chrome. True story. WTF is going on...)
Yes, you bring your own PC and any equipment you want. Closer to the time there will be an opportunity to register (free) for an Internet connection for the time you're there.
Yes, you will need to feed yourself. There's coffee and water on offer and normally groups of people go out for lunch and dinner to one of the restaurants in the area.
On a side note do you work at Microsoft ?
Cause ive seen that most of the meetups and events is at their offices.
This game jam is being organized by the Microsoft Developer Evangelist and others and in order to get permission from his superiors to use the venue he had to put a spin on the theme to make it Microsoft centric.
Apologizes from Microsoft, but they've had to move the event out a month to 31 May - 2 June 2013. The location and times haven't changed.
Just want to say that everything is good to go for next week Friday and we have a couple surprises thrown in. See you all there.

The theme was "innovation comes from crisis" and here is what I came up with.

It was designed to be a touch game but you can play it with a mouse too.
