We had a great time mapping Wednesday night.
A few people just came by to hang out for a while and see some of the new toys we've been working on, but most people came to get busy on some mapping projects. Di-Ann started working on her map zine. Reverend Phil and Sergio (Zoobomb and Free Geek) worked on a Place list for a bike map, but they haven't mapped the Places yet. Our downstairs neighbors from the French bakery Nuvrei mapped the Places that sell their exquisite goods. Tracy (aka me), Chrissy, and Aaron recruited Bce (Brian from Janrain) to help do research for an elections map. Brian also has a cool Cycloross map on Platial and on his website. The elections map will be up and visible early next week.
Scootdown (aka Benjamin Satterfield), who just happened to be in town, started mapping Richard Neutra buildings. He's part of the team that made Blogabond.
Jason was the most impressive in the one-night map project. It took him until about 2 AM, but he managed to completely finish Platial's first Choose Your own Adventure Map.
There are a few pictures on Platial's Flickr group.
That was a blast. But wasn't big-bird there as well?

How could I forget to mention Big Bird?! D'oh! I believe he was helping Di-Ann. And where is that History of Tetris map you promised?
I'm having some issues with my html for my elections map, but I WILL finish it before November.

That choose your own adventure map is pretty rad. Zine instructable and photos coming soon.

I don't really think my uber-beta less than a sketch test map deserves top honors, cmon, it's terrible!
