-[[Mittens]] is the annual real-life meeting for adventure game creators mostly from the AGS community. The first Mittens was held in 2002, and it took place in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laleham Laleham], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England], and was organised by [[Mods]]. There has been a Mittens gathering every year since then, in six European countries, twice in the United States, and once in Canada.

Other local AGS community meet-ups have also been arranged or suggested, often with names related to Mittens, such as [[Lapaset]] (Finnish for "mittens").
 The name "Mittens" comes from a suggestion by [[Captain Mostly]]. The idea formed during the production of "The Vestibule", the team (which included Abstauber, Yahtzee, Captain Mostly & Mods) decided it could be fun to bundle around to Yahtzee's and have a BBQ. This never happened - but the idea was taken further and with it, Mods launched "Mittens". Mittens are actually fingerless winter gloves. It is also a common name for a cat. It has no association or related meaning with the annual AGS meeting, but the name was made up because it was funny.
