'E for All' or at least the cheap

[DesertEagleXIX]

As Cheapy indicated in the latest CAGcast, not many people where interested in the free 'E for All' passes. I assume this is because most people aren't close to the LA area.

Well, I've got all my access materials together and I will be attending. I'll of course post pics, and I'd like to arrange a CAG Meetup if enough people are interested. So post here if you'd like to get together.

Lately, I've been getting a positive buzz from the event. Reps from Konomi and the Micheal Meyers (I hope it's not HIM) PR Agency have contacted me.

Dates are from Thursday Oct. 18th (11:00-8:00) to Sunday the 21st.

I'll be in attendance the first two days. and remember per the rules, "no baby strollers".

No baby strollers?

Damn, looks like I'll have to carry any babies I pick up on one of those weird harness things that go around your chest. Which sucks cause babies drool.

I'm awaiting word on Cheapy in regards to what days the tickets are for (the CAGcast ones given away).

I kind of wanted to go, but the fact that only Konami had contacted me for a meeting is a big letdown, so despite the fact that it's only a few hours drive for me and I already have my badge, I think I'm going to pass. It doesn't seem like I'll be getting in the kind of one-on-one time that I did at E3. I do wonder how the swag will be, though.

I received a message about interviewing 'Fata1lty"; today. I'm think about devoting a few minutes.

[CloudANDTidus]

It has nothing to do with people not being in the LA area. If this was E3, everyone would want to go.

It's the event that sucks.

I really want to go to E For All now, but its too much hassle with it being next week. Playable Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl :hot:

I demand Hands-on impressions. I'm sure there will be multitudes.

I was originally only going to attend the Video Games Live concert, since I've had the luxury of attending the last two in LA at the Hollywood Bowl. Now I can attend the conventon too, thanks to CheapAssGamer.
