Destructoid KarE3oke party: We're overbooked, come early photo

Just a quick reminder to everyone that RSVP'd for our E3 Party on Monday night: since Facebook doesn't let you set an event cap, there was a flood of entries and we are accidentally overbooked! I have to eat some crow and do the responsible thing: All RSVP's are off -- just come early and you're in. I'm terribly sorry about this, but we were not expecting such a huge response, so I'd rather let you know ahead of time than have you wrangled by door security. On the bright side, if you come early, we'll receive you with open arms. We may be holding a beer, so hug lightly or get soaked. This is a 21 and over event -- don't forget your ID!

Like any charming downtown area, the parking is limited, but there are garages within walking distance you can use instead.  There's also a nearby metro station, so you can leave the car behind altogether. Here's a map on how to get to Caffe Brass Monkey from where you are. We'd once again like to thank our sponsors for making our first annual event a reality: Hammersuit, GoNintendo, IndustryGamers, and GamersGate! Mingling and bromance begins at 7pm and the festivities kick off at 9pm. We'll have open bar, open kitchen, and open legs until they kick us out -- and a video crew to capture the magic as it happens. It's gonna be a blast!

Jager on tap!

I live within walking distance of the Brass Monkey, so I'm definitely there. I'll probably get there really early since I don't have any other plans on Monday lol. . . can't wait to chill with everybody!

I know some folks from SOE that are going to be pissed if you guys take up the whole bar and hog the Karaoke queue.

Also, I'm sure some of you have been to Brass Monkey before, but pay with cash if you can. Last two years I went to E3 they had 'issues' with getting our CCs back to us.
