Joystiq LA reader meetup with Engadget tomorrow night

LA-area readers! We know you've been asking us for years to do a reader meetup in your humble little town of, what, five, maybe ten million? Well, we didn't quite have enough time to put together a full on Engadget event of our own, but our bestest buds at Joystiq are doing a little something and Peter and myself will be on hand to chum it up with LA-area gadget and game geeks. We can't guarantee the usual free booze + tshirts + gadget giveaways, but we can guarantee a good old fashioned geek-out at to Mahalo HQ in Santa Monica. So leave us a comment if you think you'll be able to come on out tomorrow!

When: 6PM-9PM on Friday 13th
Where: Mahalo HQ, 902 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica 90401 (Google Maps link)

And yes, this event is all ages!

I mean, yeah, I guess. It's sorta on my way home from work. Why is it at an office, and not at a bar/restaurant-ish thinggy with happy hour offerings?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 1:57PM]

Because it's an all-ages event, as they said.

OMG I would love to have gone but I have to take pictures of this event!
Heavens to mergatroid!

[totalfixation Posted Jul 12th 2007 1:36PM]

So what will be happening at this event?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 1:46PM]

iPhone vs N95 flame wars.
360 ring of death talks.
begging Engadget editors for a how-to-make a "free energy" machine.
how Sony fooled us with the computer rendered Kill Zone 2 trailer they release a few years ago.

[Erik Posted Jul 12th 2007 1:44PM]

I'm in Arcadia but I don't have a car! DAMN!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 2:17PM]

Wut Wut.. I'll be there.

[TrueDis Posted Jul 12th 2007 2:08PM]

I live right around the corner. Perhaps I'll come...

[visionep Posted Jul 12th 2007 2:43PM]

I knew that some day there would be an advantage to living in LA as opposed to other more well planned, friendlier environments. And finally I've hit pay dirt!

I'll see if I can talk my wife into dropping by and geeking out.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 2:56PM]

Come to Ireland... we need gadgets.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:15PM]

Will there be punch and Pie?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:19PM]

I'll try to come.

[Mode7James Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:24PM]

I'll be there :)

[Brien Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:24PM]

OC isn't too far, I'll have to stop by.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:43PM]

Swingers (the restaurant) is right down the street! We can get drunk Andy Warhol style.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:49PM]

Sure I'll be there... if for no reason other than to see the Mahalo workspace :-)

[far7is Posted Jul 12th 2007 4:14PM]

When will the next NY meetup happen?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 4:32PM]

Funny, I live just a couple blocks up.

[kiantech Posted Jul 12th 2007 4:34PM]

I guess I'll show up, only if you give away stuff. =)

[Warren Posted Jul 12th 2007 4:46PM]

Do an event in Phoenix! You can test how long it takes any gadget to melt in the sweltering heat!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 5:06PM]

I'll be attending with a couple of friends.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 5:13PM]

I work at the LAX area, I'll be there just let me know where.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 6:10PM]

Oh, that'd be sweet! Curtiss and Travis from Boy Cow Radio would totally attend, but one of us doesn't get out of work until 6pm, and with ruch hour it'd be 7:30 or 8pm before we even got there! Next time do it in the Valley! Free parking! :-)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 6:41PM]

I might stop by for some free food and drinks.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 7:00PM]

I think I'll drop by.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 12th 2007 8:26PM]

I'm there!

[owbert Posted Jul 12th 2007 8:38PM]

more of a heads-up next time would be appreciated. i apologize, i am just sore about how i will be out of town tmw.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 13th 2007 12:45AM]

sweet -- i live down the block.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 13th 2007 1:30AM]

Awesome... I literally live 2 minutes from there. I'll be there with 2 or 3 friends.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 13th 2007 1:41AM]

I will try to go and be there ontime if I don't get stuck in traffic coming from Pomona,CA.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 13th 2007 10:37AM]

Sounds geek-good to me.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 13th 2007 9:25PM]

I might just have to drive up for it. I live on the borders of Los Angeles county and Orange county, but it could be cool.
