E3 lives! (and there was much rejoicing)

Speaking with my grim enemy bosom compatriot Ken Weeks earlier today, I lamented the death of E3. As Ken said, it was as if someone had canceled Christmas. When I signed up to blog here, Chris G. dangled E3 in front of me like some kind of golden carrot. Over the months I've been blogging, E3 '07 drove me onward, gave me purpose.

Then, like a punch to the gut, it hit me out of nowhere. E3 was gone. The first year I would have a chance to go, it was canceled. Perhaps it's fate, I thought. Maybe it means I shouldn't be blogging and should instead learn to enjoy the fake woodgrain of my crappy office desk at my crappy "real" job (don't ask).

Enter Joystiq with this news: E3 lives again! Though it will be somewhat smaller and more "intimate" (rowr), it is still definitely "on." It's still going to be in glamorous, smog filled LA, but will lose the circus/trade show feel. All I'm saying is this: Microsoft, when you're hosting those new and improved "intimate" media events, just put my name on the list. I will be there.
