Annual Pre-GDC Meetup on Sunday March 18th

Wait, why is there a company logo at the head of this post?!

For the last few years, we’ve held a community meetup in San Franciso the Sunday of the week of GDC. We’re continuing that tradition this year, but this time we’ve got a sponsor! You may have spotted this on our Facebook or Twitter feeds already, but this year we’re doing something a little special. Thanks to UVI‘s help, we’ve booked out the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Oakland on March 18th for those of our readers who will be in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’ll be a little more difficult to get to than previous years, but we think it will be well worth it. Because the space is small (it’s really a recording studio packed to the gills with vintage synthesizers), we’ll be asking people to sign up for a 30 minute time slot. So this is us giving you the heads up. We’ll open sign ups closer to the event, as well as provide information on how to get there and where we’ll all be hanging out when we’re not dangerously drooling over awesome gear.

Below you’ll find a list of the units that are currently in residence at the Museum. You can actually find a fair number of them in UVI’s Vintage Vault 2. Please show your appreciation for UVI’s support of our community by checking it out.
