About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Join us for a night celebrating local game devs and supporting our community! Discover indie games, TTRPGs, and demos from talented creators, and browse a silent auction featuring game art, merch, and more—all while enjoying free food, live music, and a raffle for epic mystery boxes. Whether you're a dev, player, or just curious, this is your chance to network, play, and eat a great meal together.

Drinks (including alcohol) will be available for donation, and to-go meal kits are available and free for anyone in need. Stick around for a short talk on how we’re building a sustainable, supportive space for game devs—then close out the night with a concert! Free entry, open to all. RSVP to save your spot, and bring cash/cards for auctions, drinks, and raffle tickets. WE STILL HAVE VENDOR SLOTS! Message kolyacatcher@gmail.com if you want to demo your game or TTRPG. Build up those Steam wishlists, yo!(all auction and donations go directly to food donations)(gluten free and vegan options available)

Frequently asked questions

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?

Great question! birdMouse (that’s us!) is launching a monthly “food for starving artists” dinner—because 10% of local devs are food-insecure, and that’s bullshit. This first event is the BIG kickoff: a combo trade show + silent auction + concert. Future events will be cozier, this one's a party.

Is there a cost to attend?

Nope! Entry is completely free—just RSVP to help us plan. Bring cash / card / Venmo if you want drinks or auction items tho.

Do I need to be a game dev to come?

Not at all! Friends, fans, and haters are all welcome.

I'm an introvert.

That's chill. Me too. There's a variety of involvement-level options, including an entire patio reserved for more quiet conversation. We'll also have "I'm just here for food" name tags available if you don't want people to talk to you.

Is the food really free?

Yes! Free meals (including to-go boxes) are provided—no strings attached.

Are the drinks free too?

Non-alcoholic drinks are free; alcoholic beverages are donation-based.

Dietary restrictions?

We’ll have vegan/gluten-free options!

Can I showcase my game/project?

YES please omg. Email us — we still have a few slots.

What’s the concert like?

Live music + a two minute blurb about future food events. There's other stuff to do if you wanna skip it, we won't be offended (well Kolya will, but there's no stopping that).

Can I volunteer?

Absolutely! DM us!

How does this help food insecurity?

Proceeds from auctions/drinks fund future free meals. Learn more at the event!
