E308: The Joystiq / X3F reader meetup recap-o-pix

by Dustin Burg { Jul 18th 2008 at 2:30PM }

Last night, we went out of E3 in style and on our own partying terms by hosting a Joystiq and X3F Reader Meetup event in Santa Monica, California. The turnout was great (something close to 300 readers attended), we ate some pizza, chit-chatted some, gave out a couple hundred pounds of swag and the highlight of the meetup was Rock Band 2. You read correctly, the guys from Harmonix showed up with Rock Band 2 (which is freakin' amazing btw) and new instruments in hand to let everyone try out the new setup. All in all it was a great way to close out the E3 week and for those who attended, we send a gigantic "thank you!" your way. Without your support we'd be nothing but a few sad and lonely fanboys.

Check out the photographic reader meetup recap below and for more meetup coverage, jump on over to Joystiq and browse their photos too.

Dustin is hot. I might have to drive up to St. Cloud for a little rendezvous.

Did Dustin at least share his mountain of cocaine with everybody?

Dustin Burg @ Jul 18th 2008 4:46PM

Not an ounce ...

The meet up was really fun. I really enjoyed talking to Dustin about Gears of War 2 and E3, too bad I couldn't meet Richard to talk up some Ninja Gaiden 2. I feel depressed that it's all over now, but I made off with a X3F sticker, a game, and a shirt, so it's all good.
