Just FYI, we’re having a launch party for Capcom’s “Lost Planet” on January 11th in San Francisco (that’s a Thursday night).
Lost Planet is a shooter rather than a fighter, but it is a a lot of fun and a competitive game. The event will have free food and drinks, as well as assorted fun stuff like a climbing wall, a master LEGO builder making mechs, all the Lost Planet developers (they’ll sign stuff and play against the top tournament finishers–did I mention there was a tournament? Because there is…).
It’s also a chance to hassle Capcom guys in person about SF4, MVC3, etc.–no joke. I’ll point out who to squeeze, you can hassle them all night, and it will actually matter. The more the merrier–if we can show them that SFers will come out and take over an event, it’ll totally make an impression for the stuff we want to do in the future.
You MUST register to be on the guest-list and attendance is limited, so get while the gettin is good. Register here:
I don’t know if it’s explained in full, but there will be not just free t-shirts, but a free silk-screen where you can design your own Lost Planet shirt and have them make it for you. There may also be free pre-made t-shirts, but I’m not sure about that one.
Again, make sure to register if you want to go–I think they aren’t taking walkups at all and attendance is limited. See you there.
Because of room capacity, fire marshalls, etc., no one is guaranteed admittance, though pre-registrants get priority. I will say that we’ve had a BIG response to this, so it’s probably going to be hoppin.
If it’s totally full up before you get there, it’ll be one in, one out. That said, anyone who shows up close to 8PM should get in without trouble. Anyone that wants to play in the tournament should get there a little early–it starts at 8:30pm sharp!
Re: parking. I’m told there will be valet parking service for event guests. Given how many people will probably be there, I’d at least consider parking on your own.
Yeah, you can take BART, but it’s about a 20 min walk after that. Exit Civic Center and then walk down 8th Street. The concourse is off Brannan, right after you pass the Overpass.
