Just wanted to remind everyone about the up-coming Ludum Dare 29 on the 25th of April.
I'm keen to jam at the Free Lives office with some friends (in Kenilworth in Cape Town, in close proximity to Banana Jam).
We can make some space for some fellow jammers if you don't mind putting up with our tenuous internet connection.
There will be snacks, coffee and shared good times.
If anyone is interested in spatially synchronizing their Ludum Dare weekend with us please let me know!

@Tuism WINNNNNN! :D
I'll almost certainly be jamming for the full 72 hours and making use of the public holiday.
It'd be rad though if you did stop by :)
1) Ludum Dare typically starts at 4AM on Saturday morning (if I am not mistaken) for us, It is important to note that typical jam rules should apply: you will need sleep, so you can perceivably work on your game from whenever you wake up until when you go to sleep on the second day (and as part of this, unfortunately the last few hours should be at home if you don't finish at the venue)
2) I can organise with security for us to come in and out as we please, but this will require a list of attendees beforehand. With no exceptions I need this list by 23 April (email to v-erlov at Microsoft dot com subject of "Ludum Dare April 2014" please, name, phone #), if you aren't on the list I cannot guarantee the security will allow you access freely at odd hours of the night (i.e. from 10PM to 6AM), I will be organising with them beforehand to avoid the issue we had previously as best I can.
3) Internet access I can offer limits certain protocols, so be aware of that, and the access is also WiFi access (only some of the physical network points seem to work), I will get a handful of guest access accounts for us for the weekend.
Will let you guys know the confirmed details when I have them.

I can code a bit but mainly art and game design, and I haven't jammed *that* much, but from last year's Global Game Jam, it's ALWAYS an awesome experience :) (http://globalgamejam.org/2014/games/echo-journey-within-without)
I've created a Facebook event for the Joburg gathering too.
Didn't create an event for the Cape Town event because it felt inappropriate to invite people to the Free Lives mansion without them being able to control who/how many is/are coming :).
Yes! We're going to be jamming from Friday afternoon to Monday. We're not early risers, so that might be a little bit of a constraint (though I can try figure out a way to be awake a little earlier).
We'll figure out what the numbers are on Wednesday, and try get more desks if we have to. We've got about 4-5 spare chairs, though it'd be helpful if people brought theirs if the numbers exceed that.
We're in Kenilworth (right nearby Kenilworth station). 5 Karatara Avenue, Main Wing.
If the jam get's a lot bigger then we might want to look into finding a larger venue. There's at least 3 - 4 members of Free Lives that won't be around.
[Edit] We'll officially start the jam at 8 on Friday.
What's everyone else doing? XD
@slushpuppyZA I'm presuming you're talking about for Joburg? Should be on track - Ernest didn't reply to anyone, he's always quite busy :).
What time is everyone going to be there this weekend?
Most of the guys seem to want to sleep normally and be there at 8:30 in the morning. I'm also fine with that :P
However I can't stay for monday cos already made plans. ARGH IRONY.
(p.s. donno if I'll actually be drinking, but I couldn't pass up that alliteration opportunity)
