So, apparently E3 is no longer a circus. No booth babes, no craziness. It’s for VIPs, not gamers. Media and industry types only, thankyouverymuch.
Forget all that.
PlayStation.Blog is hosting a meet-up for all of our readers, fanboys (and Fanboys), fellow bloggers, and anyone else interested in PlayStation at the King Taco on Pico, down the street from the LA Convention Center, where all the E3 action happens. Bring your PSP.
Want to talk about that morning’s PlayStation Press Conference? Want to slam some free aguas frescas? Want to see if you’re taller than me? (hint: you’re not)
Then, we’d love to see you. Don’t forget to bring your PSP. If you’re in the area and can make it here are the details:
When: July 15, 5-7:30pm PST
Where: King Taco
Address: 2020 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, Ca 90006
For more info and to RSVP, just visit our Facebook page, or send a note to playstationblog.comments@gmail.com. Space is limited, so RSVP’ing is strongly encouraged. I’d rather not irk Chief Freeman.
Looking forward to seeing you all there, and digging in to some tasty al pastor tacos.
Oh, and have I mentioned, you should bring your PSP!

Gosh darn faceless evil mega-corporations, you guys always try the “hey man, let’s get a taco” trick, and before I know it… Fork in the eye!

I live in L.A. but I won’t go to this huge nerd orgy. The people you’ll see here are the same people I saw when I attended the E for All show last October, those being the most antisocial video game males.

You’ll be missed!

PirateThom | July 11th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I’ll not be there, too far away.
Belfast is quite a bit away from LA, so everyone play Wipeout Ad-Hoc and kick back.
Order many tacos.

That’s pretty cool. I like these events, too bad that I live on the other side of the ocean LOL.
By the way if this event is on the 17th it’s two days after the Sony press conference, so you guys are pretty confident that people will be happy about what you’re showing there :D, think you did such an event after you announced the PS3 launch price two years ago :P

Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 11, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I’m on the fence on this one.

JordanBlack68 | July 11th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
I wouldn’t bring your PSP, they might want to know if you run custom firmwares and stuff on the memory stick that you shouldn’t have :P

We’ll have to change that. Next time I’ve got an event on the East Side, we’ll do it.

Bring your PSP so they can check your firmware to see if you’re running custom firmware, then they’ll beat you down in the parking lot :p

It’s times like this I had money and friends in LA to stay with (I live in San Francisco). I’d love free food, cool people, and the chance to show you up in height (I’m 6′7″). Ah well, glad to see the PlayStation Blog reach out to its readers like this!
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 11, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I’m sure we’ll be doing another meet-up in SF sometime, especially since I live there.
However, since you’re taller than me be a few inches, you may not be invited ;-)
