Gamerscore Blog Road Tour: Washington DC

Thanks again for everyone that attended. We had a great time meeting you all, even if you were all so rowdy that security shut the place down at 9PM. Good thing the bar was open until midnight...

Highlight of the night was getting a sneak peek at The Darkness, and having everyone watching the webcam see us get the boot from security. Thanks to the 19 watching... :) And we had the youngest gamers in attendence, a 2- and 4-year old who can't wait to become world-class gamers.

It was great having Sara watching (and commenting) on the webcam. She'll be joining us tomorrow. We've missed having her at these events, and without exception, she's been asked for by community members attending each city so far.

Tomorrow, we pack up and head to Miami.

Hey John/Chris/Tony,

What are the chances of you guys doing another national tour with new locations? I would LOVE to come to one of these events - they look really friggin cool. I live in northern CA, so I'm unable to attend any of the stops on the current tour :(

@NIN, we're in San Francisco every few months. Sometimes it's for press-only events, but we could at least try to do a more-organized community event. Watch the blog!

was a blast - thanks for having me, keep in touch all I met. and anyone I didnt, feel free to contact me - I was the guy that sucked at most of the games (or the guy with the cheesy smile in the last picture if you prefer)

Many tanks to the Gamerscore Blog team, except Sara *runs away*...*sneaks back* for a great time and also for all the community that got us all kicked out of the room. But the bar provided for some great conversation and jokes. Hopefully these small cities can see some more love in the future. Miami you're going to have a blast.

BTW, Surly Duff, ManU is the team! lol

I hope you guys can make a trip out to Atlanta some day. This is a fairly large area and I think you would have a good turnout.

@ John Porcaro

Thank you for the response :) As always, I'll definitely keep my eyes posted on the GS blog. I went to the Fall Showcase in SF in November and it kicked ass. It would rock if you guys came back around.

Thanks again.
