I just uploaded a few photos of the Pac Man World Championship venue. All of the contestants were in tonight to meet each other and practice to get ready for the big event tomorrow. John from the GSB will be posting his later tonight. Tomorrow we’ll be shooting a lot of videos for Xbox.com and covering all of the action.
Finally, the community team talked tonight and we’re going to do a very casual meet up tomorrow evening in the lobby of the Marriott Marquis (where we’re staying.) John, Sara, TriXie and I will be hanging out in the Atrium lounge after 5:30pm Tuesday night (immediately after the Pac Man event.) I talked John into buying those who are of age the first round. There appears to be a automatons convention of some sort in the hotel so there is a sea of blue suits. I am sure it will be pretty obvious which ones are the Xbox team. Hint: I can confidently say no one on the Xbox team will be wearing a blue suit at this event.
See you tomorrow!
I am currently headed to New York for the Pac Man World Championship. Tonight we meet all of the finalists who will be busy practicing for tomorrow’s show down. I’ll be meeting up with John and Sarah from the Gamerscoreblog, as well as TriXie from Xbox.com who will be covering the event as well. Regarding the Community meeting, I’ll talk to the team today and we’ll finalize a place for the tomorrow’s Xbox community. It will be in Times Square, since we will all be just coming from the finals. I’ll make a post once we decide on when and where it will be. And no, I won’t be painted Silver.

I am headed back to the East Coast this weekend to spend some time with the family before heding to New York City for next weeks ‘Pac Man World Championship event. We’ll have a full community team in town for the event: John from the Gamerscoreblog and Xbox.com’s TriXie will join me to provide complete multimedia coverage on Xbox.com of the competition and the finals, plus I’ll snag some audio for my next show.
Maybe we may grab Pac Man to kick out some New York style videos. Got any ideas?
Also:
Finally, a word of warning: If you’re in the city this weekend, TriXie is in town for the World Cybergames US Open.
