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

by Christopher Grant { Jul 11th 2007 at 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.

Purple_Haze @ Jul 12th 2007 12:07AM

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

downbeat @ Jul 12th 2007 12:03AM

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

Jacob P. @ Jul 12th 2007 12:07AM

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

Victor @ Jul 12th 2007 12:13AM

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

jcast16 @ Jul 12th 2007 11:10PM

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

EZ @ Jul 12th 2007 12:16AM

I want a Joystiq T-Shirt!

jordanbrown @ Jul 12th 2007 12:29AM

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.

Jezreel @ Jul 12th 2007 12:28AM

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.

Arturo @ Jul 12th 2007 12:36AM

I live in Illinois *cries*

YoRone22 @ Jul 12th 2007 11:30PM

Imadogg99 @ Jul 12th 2007 12:37AM

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

Genoboost @ Jul 12th 2007 12:40AM

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

SixArmedwerewolf @ Jul 12th 2007 12:49AM

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

Totally there.

samfish @ Jul 12th 2007 12:51AM

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

*I wish.

Gabe @ Jul 12th 2007 12:52AM

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!

That deaf guy @ Jul 12th 2007 1:04AM

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

Jezreel @ Jul 12th 2007 2:22AM

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

cwolf267 @ Jul 12th 2007 1:36AM

Count me in.

Rubang B @ Jul 12th 2007 1:56AM

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

DaTwig @ Jul 12th 2007 2:03AM

Cya Then!

TheMag @ Jul 12th 2007 2:45AM

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

Chris @ Jul 12th 2007 2:59AM

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

Crosswayboy @ Jul 12th 2007 3:06AM

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

RudyHuxtable @ Jul 12th 2007 3:30AM

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).

Jared Lubrico @ Jul 12th 2007 4:44AM

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

SleepyBum @ Jul 12th 2007 5:57AM

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.

thatisandwas @ Jul 12th 2007 9:08AM

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!
