Reminder: The Engadget Show with Steve Ballmer tapes tomorrow -- here's how to attend (or livestream it)!

If you've heard that the next Engadget Show will be featuring a live, one-on-one interview with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (on the Windows 7 launch day, no less) -- you've heard correctly. Additionally, our good friend Bit Shifter will be there providing chiptune jams, and Paris and Outpt will be on hand for some brain searing visual art. And of course, the editors of the site will sit down for a roundtable discussion of the week in news. If you'd like to join us for the live taping, you can -- just check out the info below. If you can't make it in the flesh, don't worry. We'll be livestreaming on the day-of, and we'll also have a full, edited version of the Show available just a few days later for download via the site, iTunes, or the Zune Marketplace.

The Show will take place at the Times Center, part of The New York Times Building in the heart of New York City at 41st St. between 7th and 8th Avenues. Tickets are -- as always -- free to anyone who would like to attend, but seating is limited, and tickets will be first come, first served... so get there early! Here's all the info you need:

• There is no admission fee -- tickets are completely free
• The event is all ages
• Ticketing will begin at the Times Center at 12:30PM on Thursday, October 22nd, and the show begins at 2:30PM
• You cannot collect tickets for friends or family -- anyone who would like to come must be present to get a ticket
• Seating capacity in the Times Center is about 340, and once we're full, we're full
• The venue is located at 41st St. between 7th and 8th Avenues in New York City (map after the break)
• The show length is around an hour

If you're a member of the media who wishes to attend, please contact us at: engadgetshowmedia [at] engadget [dot] com, and we'll try to accommodate you. All other non-media questions can be sent to: engadgetshow [at] engadget [dot] com.

If you can't make it to the live event, we'll have a stream here on Engadget (provided by USTREAM) which coincides with the taping. Just tune your browser to Engadget at 2PM on the 22nd to catch it. You can also hit our USTREAM page.

I hope they grill him on WinMo 7 .. seriously .. and the screenshots that have leaked are disappointed .. lacked subtle UI things they could have done like the "off" toggle having a light red tint and "on" having a green tint.

[One Love Posted Oct 21st 2009 7:37PM]

Now that engadget has a show, will they still remain honest in their review of technology when they need big name gadget peeps to come on the show? Its a fair question.

[Mr T Posted Oct 21st 2009 7:57PM]

Who is the guy in the background?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 8:39PM]

Why do I feel like he is going to crap up on the Windows 7 announcement? I don't know why, but I feel like something is really going to tick him off tomorrow...

NO ONE MENTION THE NEW iMACS TO HIM!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 25th 2009 1:01PM]

This is getting a bit old - - Me? I would prefer to see the 10 sec preview of engadget show and how Mister Ballmer used MacBook Pro as a prop-background for Promoting windows 7 on NBC's today show! lol

Way to go M.S!

[Chris Murphy Posted Oct 21st 2009 11:38PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:23PM]

Hey, did anyone else hear about a new Engadget Show tomorrow? Anyone know who the guest is? I've been hearing rumors but can't seem to find any info on the site here.

[xirsteon Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:42PM]

I'd sell my ticket to Steve Jobs or Phil just to show my love of 7.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:47PM]

He is actually in Toronto today, promoting 7. He looks kind of cute. :-)

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:55PM]

Ballmer? Seriously?

I love gadgets, I love Engadget, and I even admit to liking some Microsoft products, but out of respect to open source, open standards, and plain good taste, I am not even going to attempt to tune in to something with Steve "Monkey Boy" Ballmer.

[LAY Posted Oct 21st 2009 6:08PM]

""but out of respect to open source, open standards, and plain good taste, I am not even going to attempt to tune in to something with Steve "Monkey Boy" Ballmer""

Refuse to turn in out of conviction if they invite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but otherwise 1/10000000000000000000th of the world just gave you a golf clap.

Here's a cookie.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 6:57PM]

Just realized Windows 7 is coming out tomorrow and it doesnt suck so oddly enough ballmer is a good choice.
WHERE is the COMMENT DELETE BUTTON.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 21st 2009 5:57PM]

Hey! I live in Brooklyn and i leave school pretty early tomorrow so if anyone wants to attend with me, just im me at Microshocky on AIM. I'm 17, its just that most of my friends are at school at the time the show starts so no one will be able to make it.
