My Favorite Tech Events 3/8 – 3/12 (GDC Edition)
So GDC (Game Developers Conference) is this week and SXSW is next week: insane! You’ll notice a trend among parties and panels taking place this week, but even if you are not in the gaming industry, some of these are still definitely worth your time. GDC not only draws the game developers, but also major advertisers, investors, networks, press, and more. Be sure to make some time for these this week.

I’m sure there are things in the Bay Area tonight…but most of us tech geeks are in Austin now, where the REAL parties are happening. I’ll have a posting up here for those parties later this week.
