Hasta La Motion!

At the last gathering, mboden and Aruna had the idea that it would be fun to try and organise a gathering during SIGGRAPH. So, this is the official poll for deciding on the particulars. In an effort to be a little more organised with the planning compared to the last one, the poll will close a few weeks prior to the start of SIGGRAPH. Hopefulyl that will give everybody enough time to fit it in their schedules. Whichever day and location is in the lead when the poll closes will be the official location. In the event of a tie when the poll closes, I’ll be sorely disappointed in democracy, and I’ll decide between the finalists ASAP.

Mboden came up with a shortlist of places that are fairly near the convention center where SIGGRAPH is taking place. I haven’t yet had a chance to check them out myself.

The Edison – http://www.edisondowntown.com/main.htm. Slightly more upscale bar restaurant club in downtown.

Libary Bar http://www.librarybarla.com/menu.html. Bar with food

Bordello – http://www.bordellobar.com/flash/index.html – Bar Nightclub

"LA Live" http://www.lalive.com/eat/eat – has several restaurants in it. It is kinda the lame suburban fanfare but very close to SIGGRAPH.

Edison and Bordello are the furthest from LA Convention Center. (Approx. 2 miles. Slightly less convenient for anybody staying right by the convention, but I imagine it may be quite a bit less crowded.)

Library Bar is a short distance, and LA Live is next to LA Convention Center.

So, vote away. And, if you have something to show off at SIGGRAPH, post it here so we all know to keep an eye out for it.
