Send in your pics and video from the Engadget Tokyo event!

Tokyo: thanks for coming out! Over 200 people came to hang out Engadget style tonight -- so it's probably not too much to expect you'd have documented something, eh? Send in your pictures and video, we'll throw it up on the site tomorrow in our aftermath post.

Please add your pictures to the Engadget Flickr pool here.
And please add your videos to YouTube as a response to our meetup video (which is posted after the break), or with the tag engadget2007tokyo.

Once again, big ups to our hosts and sponsor Google Japan!

P.S. -Our apologies to those that didn't make it in. We had limited space, but we're extremely grateful you made the trip out to see us, even knowing you might not make it through the door. Let us know who you are next time, we'll hook you up with the VIP treatment.

The picture is a keeper. I wouldn't hire anybody who can look joyful attending an event of deteriorating Engadget.
Hopefully, some of them are real techies and they will save Engadget.

I just read your comment three times and still am not sure I fully understood it, mayhaps the problem lies not with Engadget but instead with you?

Wonder if this guy works for Gizmodo :-P

Ryan,

Although we came late (and missed the goody bags - dohh!), I certainly enjoyed the event. The Google people are great and all the interesting folks I met were nice. I even bumped into one of my former students there, to my surprise. The tech displays and examples were really interesting, and I wish I had more time to talk with everyone.

The best part for me was meeting you and chatting. It's great to know that Engadget is crafted by genuine and decent folks, for wireheads like us.

And kudos to the Google folks - you rock. Your staff can serve me Sapporo on tap any time you want!

Heck, maybe even I'll hit the NYC gathering if you have during my stay there in 2 weeks.

ではまたね,
-Curt

Now I see why Engadget readers go crazy when they see a picture of a semi-attractive female model. WHERE ARE ALL THE ENGADGET GIRLS?

[umijin @ Oct 4th 2007 2:33PM]

Actually, there were some females present. But it would have looked weird if 100 guys all photographed them, instead of the tech on display.

They were all friendly and attractive - not nerdly at all. And no I'm not sharing my photos of them. :-P

@umjin
For your, selfishness, you should be modded down to hell ;)

[Ben H. @ Oct 4th 2007 2:24PM]

San Francisco next week! I'm so there! I'm so fortunate there's an Engadget event in my city! Yay!

[Adrian @ Oct 4th 2007 2:37PM]

I wish I could have made it out there. Did Peter and Ryan make it out?

Also, I'm planning on traveling to NYC at the end of the month. Is the New York meetup still happening or what?

Lots of people are asking about it in the comments, but I've yet to find an answer.

[umijin @ Oct 4th 2007 2:42PM]

Ryan only. I posted a shot of him addressing the crowd on the Engadget Flickr Pool if you are interested.

[motoq35 @ Oct 4th 2007 3:27PM]

HEy it look great but can i have some iunfo on the Sf Meet up. whats the age requirements i was told it was on ly 21 and up. Im only 18.

[Will @ Oct 4th 2007 8:26PM]

Good Job Ryan and co. Met some really nice folks. Kudos to the impromptu interpreter guy. I wish the audio was better (the Q&A was impossible to hear if you wern't right up front )but everything else was great, even my Fiancee had a good time.

[Doggerts @ Oct 4th 2007 8:53PM]

People... what did you see? What was the point? So a lot of us read Engadget, what did you get out of the Tokyo event? Just curious.

[Jason Collin @ Oct 4th 2007 10:46PM]

whoops, see my post below

[umijin @ Oct 4th 2007 10:50PM]

We got to meet Ryan in person. We got to see some new-ish gadgets... remember iPhones aren't sold here. Some folks got swag And we got to meet/chat with other Engadget fans - you know people of our ilk.

Plus, it's not every day you get to go to a party at Google headquarters... unless you work at Google.

[FuguTabetai @ Oct 4th 2007 10:03PM]

I was one of the people turned away. Next time I'll have to check the message posted right before the meeting and make sure to leave a comment. Bummer. Still, looks like the people that did make it in had a good time. :)

[umijin @ Oct 4th 2007 10:47PM]

I showed up after 8, and had no problem getting in. But I probably missed out on the swag.

[Jason Collin @ Oct 4th 2007 10:44PM]

I saw a Sony rolly. It's kind of heavy, about 1.5kg maybe. It was all gimmick. It it cost about $50, I'd think about getting one, but not for the proposed $400 price. For me, seeing an iPhone was a first. Saw an OLPC from a distance. Then there was some obscure stuff, some software displays, and a Roomba. If you could understand Japanese, then whatever was being presented on the projector might have been interesting also, but I could follow most of it. So yeah, a bit low on gadgets, but there was a good buzz among the people in attendance.
