EDIT: Just found out I'm not going. Anyone wanna take my place?
 
i say we all show up drunk. who's with me. im gonan ebr drunk. yeahhh


edit: im not actually drunk, it was for effect. also, no i won't be going, but that sounds cool.
 
It seems slightly appealing given I don't have my license, not sure how it'd seem if I did. Regardless, no license = no go.
 
I was at the event......

A few notes:

1. Security harassed everyone that went to the event and especially singled me out. I was just sitting down battling someone at Nintendo World and they 4-on-1'ed me because I wouldn't get up and literally yanked the link cable out of the kid's machine upstairs. Why do they have to pick on the people they encourage to be there and are sitting in a corner playing in the store? GEEZ!

2. You couldn't get close to the actual event. The security had no brains and locked everyone down the street. If you weren't there at 10 you did not get in. Period, end of sentence.

It was the worst event of all time. I'm considering pressing criminal charges against the security guards for harassment for this.

Thought I'd pass this on.
