The show will take place at the Tishman Auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design. The beautiful venue (which you can see in a photo after the break) is located at 66 W. 12th Street between 5th and 6th Ave. Seating is limited and tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis -- which means if you want to join us in the audience for the show, you'll have to arrive early and be prepared for a little wait.
Here are some facts about the show:
- The show is graciously sponsored by Nokia, and hosted by Parsons The New School for Design
- Bit Shifter (one of our favorite chiptune artists) will be playing live at the first show!
- The total show length will be around an hour
Here is what you need to know if you're coming today to be part of the audience:
- There is no admission fee -- tickets are completely free
- The event is all ages
- The venue seats just over 450 people
- Parsons students are welcomed, and we encourage them to come!
- Tickets will be available for pickup at the Tishman Auditorium at 2PM today, and we're strongly encouraging people to get their tickets and not stand in line -- just pick up a ticket and then return in a couple hours for the taping. If you have a ticket, you'll have a seat!
- You cannot pick up tickets for other people -- if you want your friend to get a ticket, bring your friend!
- The show begins at 5PM, and doors will open at 4:30PM -- no one will be seated after 4:50PM
- Hold on to your ticket stubs -- we have a very good reason which you'll find out about at the taping!
- If you're going to tweet about the show (you know you want to), feel free to include #engadgetshow

ask about pixi's male counterpart (palm lumberjack? lol)
isnt this Iphone blog(engadget) , why Nokia sponsoring ?
Better yet - ask about pricing, margin, and functionality pressure from the Cliq.
Oh wait! I forgot - this is supposed to be pure gush.
Nevermind!
damn, i live 40 minutes away... i should probably leave now...
Live stream?
Yah! What's up with that? I can just imagine Josh trashing someone for doing exactly what Engadget is doing right now. Who would ever imagine Engadget, the people at the absolute bleeding edge of internet gadget news, NOT streaming this? It's so lame it makes me think this could be a "Jump the Shark" moment. I'm sure there is some BS sponsor deal behind the decision, but it's still a horrible idea. It goes against everything Engadget is.
Of course if they ARE streaming this.....never mind :-)
yeah, really... how much of a waste would this be if only 450 people could see the thing?
I Guess its just for the elitist apple types who hate football (and America for that matter). Which is why this comment will quickly be scrutinized for bad grammar, and then ranked so low it will become utterly wiped from the servers as if it never occurred. Kinda like like the Pippin, remember that? I thought so.
OIs the show going to be archived raw or editted before generally available?
What I cant see it online?!?! *Spits on floor* BLASPHEMY
Come on guys, you can't use ustream or something for us??
No live stream? :/
Why is a show featuring Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein being sponsored by Nokia? Do they have some sort of affiliation I'm not aware of?
For some reason I'd thought the Engadget Show was going to be a TV show.
After all the hate for Nokia, I'm surprised they're sponsoring this. Or not.
As I've already said. Nokia will get the place crowded and then set it on fire.
Nokia is still the world leader in cell phone technology which is why they are sponsoring an Engadget event, it's all about the eye balls. Also all the Nokia-bashing by Engadget is not really bashing. It's GOD working through Engadget to punish Nokia for not completely updating their OS soon (3-4 years soon). Divine justice at work.
Then the CEO of Nokia will shoot Hitler as he burns to death, and then his leg will blow up. Topolsky will make a deal with Nokia to get out alive, but will have the Engadget logo carved into his forehead in the middle of no-mans land.
Did you guy not realize this was NFL opening weekend? Whatever. I'll catch the rerun.
The rest of the world couldn't give a shit about this 'NFL' thing.
what is this "rest of the world" thing you speak of?
Me. Duh
FOOTBALL RAWR!!
Yes, because all Engadget readers give a shit about the NFL...
Half of America doesn't give a shit about professional football..
Only the half that doesn't matter.
Did you eat you vitamins this morning?!
I thought so... now go to the bed, mommy will read you a story before night-night.
UStream or bust
NO LIVE STREAM
im debating on going on not.. its only about an hour away from me right now... hmm..
im guess there is gonna be either a palm pre or another nokia phone giveaway hence the "keep your ticket stub" gesture...
I know... I could be there in an hour and a half... STUPID SCHOOL SPORT EVENTS!!!!!! -.-
You'll have to pay me to watch your show!
hmm Engadget Show or watch the Redskins @ Giants game Engadget it is
@Matthias its not hate it is objective criticism they want Nokia to do better.
BOOOO NOKIA!~!!
I don't care if they're hosting or not, nokia is crap
After the Iran deal i'm never going nokia
This is even dumber than the resistive touchscreen whinging.
Pars, you are an idiot
Anybody there now waiting on line? How many people are on the line approximately? If you showed up at 2 would you think you would get a seat?
There is an ongoing blog of the show on Precentral forums - 200-300 showed up - 3 Pre owners overtly ("How many have Pres?" - 3 raised hands).
Thank you for the info.....for the 50th time. lol
Yo engadget listen to us and get a livestream pleaze k thx
It's funny how Nokia are sponsoring this event, after all the Nokia-bashing Engadget do so frequently, especially on their podcasts! I think it'll be interesting to see if Engadget change their tune on Nokia devices after, you know, Nokia sent lots of money their way.
LOL
this is exactly what i was thinking... how come Engadget accepted its sponsor to be NOKIA???
suddenly engadget is not 'resistive' towards Nokia and are 'capacitive' ;)
its right about now that i wish i lived in new york
I wish I could watch it live. :(
This is Engadget for christ sake! Give us a f***ing stream. I am with those who say some BS sponsorship is behind this with a stupid rule saying they cant stream it live. If i was there it would take me 10 - 20 min to get a live feed going. surely one of the Engadget geeks could do it! COME ON GUYS SORT IT OUT!
If you lose the feed of this show, I will come to New York next month and tape the damn show myself!
Is there going to be a video of the Engadget Show to watch?
If you were listen live on ustream they said they won't be streaming the show live just yet they said maybe in a couple of shows time. They also said it’s a bit more complicated due to the factor they have a 4 camera set up so it would be stupid to only stream 1 feed.
Give them time to experiment.
