If you're going to be in the L.A. area for E3 and you're reading this, it's likely that you'll enjoy the International Game Journalist Association's "Not an E3 Party." The shindig will be going down at the Golden Gopher bar, a few block Northeast of the L.A. Convention center (view map) on Wednesday, May 18 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
While the party won't include the free food, drinks, swag and games that make most E3 parties worthwhile, it will also not include the shilling PR people and interminable press conferences that tend to drag down other E3 parties. Look at it as a chance to chill out and meet some of your fellow game journalists in a totally relaxed environment amid the swarming chaos that is E3.
I know there are some other parties overlapping this, including ones from Ziff Davis and GameSpot, I believe, but trust me, no one will miss you there. Swing on by, even if it's just for a few minutes, and connect with your fellow game writers and VGO readers. See you there!

Cool. I'm certainly not likely to finagle my way into one of the swankier e3 parties, but who wants free food/drinks/etc. anyway? I'll see if I can make it.
ReplyDeleteAre we allowing members of the industry into the "Not an E3 party" as well? Always fun to meet the people that write about our games.
ReplyDeleteSure. Basically, if you're reading this, you're welcome to come. The more the merrier. Until the bar kicks us out for violating the fire code. Then it's less merry.
