nkornek Posted January 25, 2017 5ish is fine for me so long as wherever we go has food. Also hell yeah for that.party! It's been my favorite GDC event for years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coughlinjon Posted February 1, 2017 I need to book myself a room for GDC. I'll be in town for about a week, but I don't know anything about San Francisco. I will probably be staying at an Airbnb and I won't have a car. Any tips on what part of the city to stay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're doing the conference and the parties, well, typically the parties happen near the conference so if you can be within walking distance that's ideal. Expect spikes in typical hotel rates!

If you end up needing to go for a hotel instead of Air B&B, book it through the GDC website if you can, they have special deals and it's often significantly cheaper (my hotel costs nearly 50% less through the site) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coughlinjon Posted February 2, 2017 It looks like I won't be able to stay very close to the conference center, so in terms of price I have similar options in SF around Excelsior and Balboa Park and then across the bridge in Oakland. Anything I need to know about those areas before picking a place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything I need to know about those areas before picking a place? Despite being across a bridge, Oakland may be your best bet. There's better public transport service from what I remember.

root Posted March 4, 2017 I caught something at GDC and the idea of spending an hour each way barting from fremont to sf again to try to be sociable through the misery of con crud doesn't sound super great to me so I will not be there after all. If there's future bay area meets after this I'll try to make it down for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
