MAGfest game & music festival rings in the new year

Do you live smack in the middle of Virginia and thirst for a gaming event to kick off the second decade of the 21st century (we're almost at flying cars, people!)? MAGfest seeks to fulfill that desire with it's annual video game festival. The show's organizers pledge to entertain you with everything from a 10,000-square-foot game room to a 24-hour "JamSpace" room (we assume that's different from a JellySpace room). Tickets are $40 for the weekend (Jan. 1–4) and pre-registration has already begun, which includes admission to each evening's gaming themed concerts, including a New Year's Eve party.

I live in Woodbridge, 10 miles off DC. Anyone want to carpool?

if this were happening 2 weeks earlier i'd be 100% down. i'm in alexandria and i'm moving out next week, unfortunately.

Aw, I used to live in Woodbridge. Moved to Williamsburg though... which is where Magfest was ONCE held. If only they'd do it again.

Dress up in Bond-themed attire...

I wonder if they realize people (myself included) thought this was a Sony thing. You know, MAGfest?

yeah I thought this was about MAG

As someone who's been to MAGfest several times now, their shifting of the event closer and closer to the new year every year has royally pissed me off.

Who in their right mind hosts an event that starts on the 1st of January!
There's no way I'm traveling hundreds of miles directly after celebrating the new year.

Ahhh, if only spending time with family came before Magfest in my list of important things.

My Brother is dept. head of the Game room this year and they have been working really hard to make it special. Unfortunately I live on West coast now so I can't make it out there.
