Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I'm currently at a PC in the press conference room if anyone wants to wave their hand :lol
Well, fortunately it turned out to be another good time at the Cabo Cantina, which I think is now the official perrenial GA/RA/OA meetup bar. Only this year without Folder's open bar hoax. 
Hi, I scheduled the meetup for a bar that's now out of business.
I had originally scheduled the meet for the Corona Cantina, down the street from last year's Folder-chosen Cabo Cantina... Well, WTF to my surprise, the shithole had closed down since I last drove by it two months ago. I had sent everybody to what was now appropriately titled The Wet Lounge in its place--and contrary to the sign, it was closed. Shit.
So we decided to hit the Cabo Cantina two blocks down the street, just in case folks had migrated to familliar turf.
Luckily, they had. WHEW.
Here's Wellington's younger bro, myself, BuddyC, Wellington, and Link/Westley Crusher.
Zondaro.net wastes no time chugging down the cerveza. My friend Aimgamegirl and Link at left.
Fishie up in the house with the gang!
Aimgamegirl and Zondaro enjoying that Westside Cabo ambiance.
Many drinks later, a destitute Fishie had to resort to tabledancing for money to support his powerful thirst for alcohol. Yes, he kept the dollar bill... Would you have wanted it back?
GA's El Papa (w/ sunglasses) and his girlfriend (behind me) joined us later on.
As we stagger out onto the Sunset Strip for some fresh air, Fishie fully feeling the effects of his dozen-plus drinks. I think he had a flashback to a bad childhood experience in Tijuana.
One last pic before last call!
Yep, it took all three of us to hold Fishie up on the way to the valet.
I also have a couple funny video clips that I'll try to upload tomorrow...

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
:lol @ Fishie!
Honestly, did all of that stay down? If so, your ass can really drink.

History was made when *** and Che encountered each other in the media hospitality suite for the first time since the infamous Saturn game fiasco.
Group of random gaffers including Demi, DavidDayton, Wellington's brother, and Efralope.
The whole posse.
Che offers *** roughly what his Saturn games are worth nowadays.
Fishie proves he was actually able to shake off his hangover by lunch!
Demi joins up for a OA'ers-only pic.

Anyone make it to the GameStop party last night?

anyone meeting up today? I'll probably head over to the 4colorrebellion meet at Rebellion's booth over by Sony around 11am.
Dude, you don't know how hard it was to prop those fools up. I don't blame you from getting away from the homeless throngs... It was like Dead Rising up in there. :lol Last call outside a bar for panhandlers is like blood in the water for sharks!-jinx- said:Heh, you must have just gotten home too.
Sorry for running off, but the panhandling was getting a little silly. Thanks for getting the barely vertical members of the party home.
Well, many of the same posse from Cabo got together again tonight at the Broadway Bar in downtown L.A. I went to a Sony dinner and got there late after having dropped off Fishie... Just missed Wellington and his crew who had left already. GA's WasabiKing was still there for a short time and while not pictured took some of these pics.
~jinx~ up in the house!?! This one gives you a better idea of what the lighting was like in there.
At around this point, aimgamegirl would not stop buying people drinks.
:wtf , she came back from the bar with one more drink than we had people!
The evening ended not long after this, when we got pushed out of the bar after 2AM and were immediately swarmed by the waiting homeless denizens of downtown L.A. They were lined up for the opportunity to panhandle and sell flowers to drunk folks like Nintendo fans waiting to see some Wii.
Btw, one of the people in these pictures proclaimed this the "drunkest they've ever been," and I had the challenge of assisting two of them in staying upright on the way back to the hotel, while fending off a persistant army of hobos. Not an easy way to end a night of revelry!
I think we're going out again tomorrow night...

last years bar meet up ftw it seems.
Hey guys,
I dropped my phone and cracked the screen on the way back to my hotel today, so if I promised you I'd call you back, well, I can't access my phone book anymore
Probably just gonna take it easy and chill at the hotel tonight. But if anyone wants to stop by, I'm at the Radisson Wilshire. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my number (I can still receive calls).
