We figured enough was enough and that it was finally time for the HD crew to get in on some of this meetup fun, so with some help from our new friends at the Georgia Tech chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery, we're having the very first Engadget HD reader meetup. The event will take place on the Georgia Tech campus -- so no University of Georgia apparel is permitted -- at the Klaus building in room 1116W at 6:00pm on Friday the 11th and will go for about two hours -- we're told the easiest way to find the room is to walk through the main stairs to the courtyard and look for the signs. There is a place to park a few buildings over, but it isn't free. So come by and geek out over some CEDIA news with Ben and Richard of Engadget HD, and the members of the local chapter of the ACM. Map shot is after the break.
Somewhere in the fine print.... " iphone must displayed at the door for admittance...."
I'm just kidding, the guys over at Engadget HD are troopers.
What a surprise-- I go to engadget and at the top of the page is the building I just walked away from! I'll have to miss it though, 'cause I'm going home for the weekend!
Oh, damn, I've taken classes in that building.
If you want to park for free, the BMED parking lot -- 32? -- is up the hill and to the right. No one will find you in there.
Is there going to be any free stuff? I don't want to drive 40 miles (20 miles each way) in Atlanta traffic if I'm not going to get some free stuff.
Whoo!! Go Jackets!! We're beating Clemson to pulp (as of 2nd Quarter) :D. and yes, I'm (obviously) a Techie :).
Nesbitt's throws have been all over the place, though... Still, we're dominating. :P
Isn't Engadget a little too big for these things? This is like the New York Times having a reader meetup.
Full Engadget meetups have been just fine, so this being just an Engadget HD meetup will be no problem.
Nice! I wasn't planning to stay so late on campus, but now I don't see why not! BTW there's going to be a great lecture on GPU performance modeling earlier tomorrow at 2pm, same building, room 2443
A sausage fest where we sit around and talk which asian TV model is the hottest?
Yeah, I'm in.
Sweet, I'm in.
I graduated from UGA and now attend GSU. Am I still allowed to come? Go Dawg.... (I'm don't watch sports, as I would rather read tech blogs or be on a computer)
:)
Will there be food?
Cool, GT is on Engadget. Go Yellow Jackets!
Dont go! Its a trick! Nerd bait, you will all end up Geek Squad zombies at the next town over....
Decatur?
If you're coming to campus tomorrow it will be miserable. That is one of the worst football games I have ever seen.
It was worse when Florida lost to Ole Miss during their championship season... maybe that's just me though.
I have a Friday night plan that doesn't involve drinking! :)
Engadget... You could have at least straighten the picture.
GT over Clemson - 30 - 27. Ugly ugly 2nd half but a W nonetheless. And hell yeah for Klaus, I live there during exams.
Miami loses next week.
that room's gunna be packed.. but i prolly won't be there... got a cookout to go to ;)
You're skipping the Engadget HD reader meetup to go to the anime club cookout...?
...Probably a wise choice.
so--what exactly is going on?
Woo. Gonna be there. Also, anime cookout will not top this. seriously.
wooottttt. ill have a lecture there around that time tomorrow!
i was just there...
