Joystiq Reader Meetup in Santa Monica this Friday, July 13th

by Christopher Grant on Jul 11th 2007 11:55PM

That's right, we're holding the first ever Joystiq Reader Meetup in Santa Monica this Friday! If you're in town for E3 (or just happen to live in the area), please join us for the first ever (ever ever) Joystiq Reader Meetup this Friday, July 13th. We'll have free food, drink, and some Joystiq t-shirts to the first folks on the scene, plus we'll be giving away any schwag that we've managed to acquire at this year's E3 (we don't keep that stuff!). So, come along, play a game or two on our projector -- Wii Tennis anyone? -- and talk to the writers behind your favorite video game blog this Friday.

Also, we'd like to give a shout-out to the guys over at Mahalo.com for hosting the event. Y'know, they're there to help. If you're planning on coming, be sure to let us know in the comments so we know how many to expect!

When: 6PM-9PM on Friday 13th
Where: Mahalo HQ, 902 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica 90401 (Google Maps link)

And yes, this event is all ages!

NOOOO!!!! I could come and bring 2 DS's even, but I'll be working... at two jobs, all day and all night.

Score one point in Wii Tennis for me, ... somebody.

At least your lucky enough to be in the right country!

I'll be there. I'll drag my girlfriend along as well.

If I didn't live halfway across the country, I'd totally be there.

Wait, what?
All ages?
But what about the alcohol? :P

I'd come, but I live down in Brazil and it's kind of a long way to get to the US, And a few hundred's of dollars on plane tickets :S

I live near, so I'll try to go.

I want a Joystiq T-Shirt!

Damn.... My sister lives about 6 blocks from there...

But like others have said, I am also stuck working.

Oh well hope everyone who gets a chance to go has fun.

i'll be there

Sounds nice! My brother and I'll show up. I'll see if I can't round up a couple more friends to go, too.

I live in Illinois *cries*

Me too. :(

I wanna come. But I won't be able to make it. Thanks for inviting me joystiq.

I'll definitely be there. I live in Los Angeles, and would love to meet some of you awesome bloggers. Especially Kyle Orland if he'll be there. I'll try to drag along one of my friends as well. Save a shirt for me =D

Bad ass. I live in the Los Angeles valley. It's hardly a back breaker to drive out to Santa Monica.

Totally there.

Too bad E3 isn't where I live...in Hawaii*

*I wish.

Oh men! I wish I was around the area to go meet you guys. Hopefully you guys will be at E for All later this year in LA and do something similar to this. Have fun guys!
gabe

Make the fanboys fight to the death and i'm sold!

I'll fight, but not to the death. We wouldn't want Mr. Thompson showing up.

Count me in.

Scratch what I said earlier. If Shagi's there, I'll quit both my jobs and slip in silently.

count me in :). I live in LA county. bout 40 min to an hour away. i'm probably gonna go visit the kwik-e-mart before or after headin to the meet up :)

I'll be there. DS time :D

I live about 2 blocks away. I'm definately there! I'll even bring a bag of some older games to give away to Joystiq readers :)

Cya Then!

Waaaaaait...no BEER?!! What's deal man???

For the first time EVER I wish I lived in CA.

I'll be there as long as i don't have to work late.

I can totally walk there. I'll see if I can make it. I'll be the guy who looks like a mixture of terrorist and mountain man (it's for a movie, I'll explain when I get there).

I sure damn well hope I'm not the only 17-year old Asian kid there ...

I'm coming! I want a Joystiq T-Shirt, too! I'd like to try Wii Tennis. I haven't even seen a Wii in person yet.

Hope there's free parking there. With E3 in town, I'm sure they'll jack up the parking from crazy to insane levels.

Yo Joystiq!
No Fair! Us gaming rednecks, or, "Game-Necks" as the locals refer to us, can't make it out to your fancy pantsy (yes, pantsy as well!) California chic parties! Were in Charlotte, NC, and far too poor to travel Fear and Loathing style across the country! I read at work everyday, come on man, for gods sake, I NEED A TSHIRT!

How stereotypical. A redneck needing a shirt. XD
I kid, but second your notion. We gamenecks here in Texas could use some schwag.

Count in one more. I'll have to burn some rubber to get there.

Any alcohol requests?

Maybe other *special* requests anyone?

Just what kind of special requests are going on here, because I might be interested. :V

And maybe some Belvedere would be awesome.

Bring what you will. I can't say exactly what I'll bring but it should suffice.

If you're looking for me I'll be the one with the Venom shoes. Hahaha.
