I'll be there with a couple of the other devs from our studio. We get in Sunday and leave Friday night so Monday or Thursday would be good. As of right now I don't have anything booked for Monday and only one party for Thursday Jillian's is pretty likely to be booked up for private parties every night. I know for sure it is on Tuesday. The Marriott bar is pretty cool and has an amazing view. It'll be packed, but anywhere near the convention center will be so unless someone local knows of a dive bar nearby we'll just have to deal with the crowds. Another option (if it's open this year after being shut down for renovations last year) is the lobby bar in the Marriott. This is down on the first/second floor and should be a much better place to get a drink while still being able to actually talk to each other Looking forward to meeting up with all of you!
OK, so let's go with this everyone: iPhone Developer's Union Thursday, March 26, 2009 8pm Marriott Lobby Bar on Main Floor 55 Fourth St San Francisco, CA 94103 Indie iPhone Developers and Media Welcome! A great chance to meet other devs in the iPhone community. Announce news, share stories, give hugs, have fun! Please invite fellow devs, media buddies, twitter about it, etc. The more the merrier! Can't wait to meet y'all

Thanks for that! And if anyone wants to make a announcement about GDC or something they're showing/talking about at the ADU (Apple Developer's Union) Party, just send me a msg and and I'll throw it up on the ol' Twitter for you.
flight booked!!! leaving thursday afternoon. should arrive at moscone by 4PM! party time... returning monday morning ;p
I will be there, in fact I will be there for the iGames Summit the week before. Considering that Personae Studios is exhibiting with the Singapore Infocomm Booth, count me in. (Just to let you guys know, we will be giving away free retractable iPhone USB "Charging" Cables at our booth and at the iGames Summit)
I'll be there... I want to join the party... One problem is I'm not that good in English that much yet. I went to the party at Jillian's few months ago MacWorld, but I couldn't talk to people just a bit... haha.. anyway see ya people there...
Freeverse has graciously offered to cover some drinks for all who attend this shindig. We (IUGO) will also be chipping in for some wobbly pops for y'all. If there are any other devs interested in sponsoring some drinks please let me know. I can give you more details via PM.
Hey Guys, the Bar on the main floor is rather plain - just an open area. The one at the top of the building - that I initially recommended is AWESOME - great view of the city - and has a multi-room layout. Definitely will make this an EVENT to REMEMBER! thx! HHG
The concern with that location was how packed it most likely will be. We need to make sure we have room as the numbers are rising for this. I also want to be able to hear the conversation over the ambient noise, along with not losing my voice in an hour.
We had about 30+ people in the back room. It was not reserved. Not buzy at all. Had lots of chairs and area to stand around. There are also several "side" rooms up there as well. How big is the gathering at this point?
