Invitation Email

Hi friends,

A physics game competition will be occurring August 29-31 in
Cambridge, MA. (location TBD).

There will be categories for remote entries, youth, professional, and
independent game developers. There will be XOs and other sweet prizes
for the best entries!

Last summer, at the Boston Game Jam, the pros got destroyed. We're
secretly hoping for a repeat ;)

Save the date, and help spread the word. Feel free to pass this email
on or post these images on your website.

For more details, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Physics_Jam , or reply
to this thread!

In physics we trust,
Brian Jordan

Location

1 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Venue specifics will be based on number of attendees, though it will likely be around this area.
