The last show of the decade will be dedicated to just that: the decade. We're going to be talking about the most important gadgets of the past 10 years -- both good and bad -- and we'll be joined by the perfect guest. Peter Rojas, the founder of both Gizmodo and Engadget (and now gdgt!) will take the stage with Josh, Paul, and Nilay to discuss what has been arguably the most important 10 years in gadgetry.
We'll also have a few surprises, as well as some giveaways including an Xbox 360, so don't miss it -- you'll be sorry if you do!
The show takes place at the Tishman Auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design. As you may already know, we film live in front of an audience once a month -- but if you can't make it, don't worry. We're bringing the video back home to Engadget (and as a free download here, in the iTunes Store, or the Zune Marketplace) for your viewing pleasure.
The beautiful venue (which you can see in a photo after the break) is located at 66 W. 12th Street between 5th and 6th Aves. 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 the facts you need to know about the show:
- The show is graciously sponsored by Sprint, and hosted by Parsons The New School for Design
- The total show length will be around an hour
- 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 on the 20th, and we're strongly encouraging people to get their tickets and not stand in line -- if you have a ticket, you'll have a seat!
- You'll need to hold onto your ticket stub to be eligible for the giveaways
- 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

"The show is graciously sponsored by Sprint..."

I know it's being picky but the decade ends on 12/31/10 at 23:59!
@jeffm65
No, as said before, pick any dictionary, e.g. the Cambridge one: "decade: a period of ten years, *especially* a period such as 1860 to 1869, or 1990 to 1999" (highlighting asterisks for those who can't see the word). So sorry but it's not being picky; it's being ignorant .
@jeffm65
More like 12/31/09 @ 2359! lol
I gracefully stand corrected.
Is this taping still going to happen if the impending snowstorm causes havoc? I don't want to see too many accidents or cases of frostbite just so people can see Peter Rojas!
I'm still unsure if I'm able to make due to prior plans that may get canceled do to this snow storm...is this a snow or shine thing?
@scl23enN4m3
*due...I need just avoid that word altogether.
Also, anyone know how early we actually have to get there? I don't have a place to kill time, so I don't want to get there too early...
Is the show still on for tomorrow? Will it be canceled due to the impending storm?
