Joystiq Reader Meetup

Joystiq Reader Meetup in Santa Monica next Thursday, July 17th - Joystiq

Quote:

Wanna know what's in those five boxes up there? We'll tell you: over 200 lbs of swag! And we're bringing it all to E3 for our Second Annual Joystiq E3 Afterparty!

And that's just part of what we've got in store. Ask any of the 160 plus people who showed up last year and they'll spin tales of mountains of swag gathered from just three days of E3. This year we'll be doing that again, of course, as well as giving away three years worth of accumulated stuff, including hundreds of free games (over 50 lbs worth!), tons of t-shirts (including the very last of the Joystiq tees), faceplates, baseball caps, controllers, headsets, and more. Giving it away. Gratis.

We'll also be providing free food and drinks, along with a bunch of video games to play on the projectors, so all you've got to bring is yourself. Just like last year, we'd like to give a shout-out to the folks over at Mahalo.com for hosting the event. If you're planning on coming, be sure to let us know in the comments so we can scientifically deduce how many to expect or, even better, hit up the Facebook event page.

When: 6pm - 10pm PT on Thursday, July 17th
Where: Mahalo HQ, 902 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica 90401 (map)
Who: Yes, this event is all ages!
RSVP: Facebook

Might be going. If they have a Brawl setup going, I'll definitely join the fray with Lucas. Anyone else want to meet?

If you want to swap some Pokemon Diamond/Pearl codes, bring your carts over too.

i will be heading out to there too.

the invitation does not mention drinks of the alcoholoc nature

but since its at the Mahalo HQ, i can get a autograph of Lon Harris, or the beautiful Veronica Belmont

uLTraCarL · 07-10-2008, 04:25 AM

Kotaku's E3 party is free drinks if I read that right

but I don't feel like going out to that one either :x

E308: Kotaku's Pre-E3 Party

scottind · 07-10-2008, 11:45 AM

fuck i wanna go out to that one too.

anyway you should come out with us, i've dragged out stacy to come

uLTraCarL · 07-10-2008, 07:15 PM

go to which one? The Joystiq one?
maybe I go, it's the day before Bell's thing in Temecula
are you gonna goto that?

i'm gonna be in San Diego during the kotaku party, so I really can't goto that :x

scottind · 07-10-2008, 11:22 PM

i'm not going to bell's thing.

i dont know Bell that well, and i have issues with some "other" people in that community. So seriously, fuck all of them. It's a long rant that i'll definately tell you about over a beer or three.

but yeah, i'm more inclined to go to Joystiq over Kotaku for personal reasons.

but as far as Bemani people, we should pool together and meet up at the meet up

When did E3 change back to open public access?

I must have totally missed it.

EDIT: Unless it hasn't, haha.

uLTraCarL · 07-11-2008, 06:00 AM

E3's never been public access

I was lucky enough to have been attending E3 for the past 6 years but sadly I didn't get an invite for this year.. well it's not like I'm missing out on anything anyway

Hi, I'm Diklov · 07-13-2008, 02:27 AM

I've been wanting to go since I was ten T_T

I remember reading about it in EGM Volume #60 I think

Reenee · 07-13-2008, 01:22 PM

I'm going for sure now.

There's a Norm's down the block from the spot and a Denny's around the corner. Where do you guys want to meet and how will we know you're from here?

scottind · 07-14-2008, 07:56 PM

i dunno, but i'm also for sure going. Dont know about UltraCarl

how is parking there? can we park at the studio?

and i wonder if there's a bar...

uLTraCarL · 07-15-2008, 01:34 AM

parking is horrible in Santa Monica

try parking for last year's E3.. lol, it drove me to madness ;_;

I'm probably going to go now, the people who get me into stuff are up in the area as well for E3. In fact I'm currently in the Ramada Limited, gonna drive them to the Nintendo Presser tomorrow at the Kodak Theather ;___;

*edit*

lol Fire Alarm goes off at the Ramada for a full hour :x
Fire Truck!
More Fire Truck!

scottind · 07-16-2008, 02:07 AM

i thought carl would carpool with us. oh well

i'm hoping we can just park there, hopefully they have a parking lot. i'll send you guys a PM with my cell phone tomorrow.
