If we don't see _Castle_ and Statesman in the same picture, then we KNOW that they're the same person!

To the best of my knowledge, they won't be there. Cryptic is in the San Jose, California area. I don't think any of them are flying out here. (But I'm bringing a camera and hoping. 
) I think that CuppaJo, Alexa, Awry, and maybe Arctic Sun are going to be there. They all work out of Austin.
I checked the sign up list and didn't recogize a lot of names. Since it's an NCSoft event, not just a CoH/CoV event, it looks like there are a lot of people coming who play their other games.

They make other games? 
But really, you might be right, but the point still stands: Pictures! 
Yeah I think there won't be too many representing CoH/CoV so we gotta come early, be loud, and stay late!!!!!

I may end up having to miss this shindig, which blows, but umm... what happened on Jan 4th?
Be well, people of CoH.
Some friggin football game.
HEY GUYS, I need help! Due to various and sordid matters, I don't have access to a camera. Tell me somebody else will be taking pictures of this thing tonight, please!

Oh yea.. that.
As for a camera, I've got a digital layin around somewhere. If I do end up making it there, I'll snap a few. Unless the devs are camera shy, of course.
I know with this rabid fan base, I would be.
Be well, people of CoH.
[censored] [censored]!! This *is* tonight!! And I'm home! Quick, when is does the broadcast start, in EST??
EDIT: Super [censored]!! Now, of course, the radio won't tune in for me *cries* I demand as many pictures as twenty cameras can hold. PM them to me.

Oh yea, that and the UT game.
Be well, people of CoH.
That'd be Jan 4th 2006.
And yes Moggie I have my camera and lotsa extra batteries.
I went. I met a couple of fellow gamers. Said hey and good job to Awry and Arctic_Sun. Missed Alexa. Chatted with CuppaJo for a few, who was almost exactly as I had always pictured her, but with different hair color. Was nice putting some faces to the names of those that have thread-smacked me.
I forgot my camera. I didn't stay long. Because there was no beer.
But thanks for throwin the meet and greet, NCSoft. Twas festive.
EDIT: Oh yea, and the systems I looked at at Cyberjocks were only able to push about 40 FPS in the CoH large lab door mission. They must need me to clean up their gear.
Be well, people of CoH.
I just got back (and met Bill, actually, as well as Rowr). I got to say hi to all the devs, although I only spoke to CuppaJo for a few seconds...seems like she always had someone talking to her! It was fun, and I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Awry, Alexa, Arctic_Sun, and Cuppa were all really nice, and it was nice to put faces to names.
Thanks for the event, NCSoft, and I'll certainly come to future ones if they are Austin-based.
Got back just a bit ago. For anyone that was there, I was the person with both a camcorder (that didn't see much use) and a still camera with a huge flash around his neck.
Pictures are coming soon.
And by soon, I actually mean soon as in later tonight, not "Soon (TM)".

BillZBubba I didn't get to meet you! I'm sad now. 
Yeah, I didn't have a lot of chances to mill and chat it up with everyone, but I was the guy with the shaved head in the black Decepticon shirt. Holla!
Hey guys and gals. Nice meeting several of you at the shindig, especially all you Virtue folks (Kill skuls!). Lets hope the NC Soft crew enjoyed it as much as we did and does another one!

Back at ya Rowr. Balorn, I saw you and your cameras. I was strolling around in black, collared shirt and blue jeans, big goatee and splotchy beard.
Be well, people of CoH.
Good times tonight. Like the others, I'd like to offer thanks to NCsoft for offering this to us. It was really organized, not too crowded, and generally pretty cool. Everyone the NC staff was really nice, even though I didn't really get to talk to many of them. (Though I did catch the Auto Assault lady at Kerbey Lane afterward and told her thanks. Sorry I don't know your name!) All of the staff was pretty busy tonight, either with running things or with mingling among us.
Thanks again, and hope to do it once more in the future!

Not to mention how they update their software... I was in the so-called 'Virtue Server Room' claimed by Angry Angel and Taxibot Hollow before we found out that every single one of the computers there CRASHED when we ran CoH!!! They decided to evict us and push a corrected install of Auto Assault (which wouldn't run on any of the other computers) to the systems in that room and another room that had the same problem and just make those rooms 'Auto Assault only' rooms. Still, things worked out better than I thought they would, as they had lots of other computers, and people tended to cycle pretty well. The Virtue server 'gang' managed to eventually snag a whole row plus a few others and have fun doing pictures and showing off characters. Great fun!

That is so cool, because just 2 nights ago, I had one of these DJ's on friends of friends list on xfire, and we began talking. He hooked me up with the link to the radio site while he was Djing and the irc. Its a really neat radio station.
