The 4th Annual AI Programmer's Dinner
(2001 GDC)
The Fourth Annual Game AI Programmer's Dinner was held at the the
Crowne Plaza restauraunt across from the main GDC convention center
on Tuesday, March 20, 2001. Due to scheduling conflicts in an early
GDC schedule (which mysteriously vanished about a week before the event
proper), we moved the dinner from our traditional "last night" of the
GDC to the first night of the convention. We didn't really expect all
that many folks to show up...
BOY, were we wrong! A grand total of 41 of our fellow AI developers
(with a few interested parties) showed up, breaking all previous dinner
records! Everybody had a fantastic time, and it was very much an evening
of food and very "different" dinner conversation.

Below are some pics from the event. I hope to post more as soon as

from them before too long. Enjoy!
