Not your typical gaming party: First look at GTR's Community Vibes IV venue photo

Godfree, I'm speechless. You've outdone yourself. This is ridiculous.

Gamertag Radio invited us for a sneak peek at the venue for Community Vibes IV inside the unopened Club Ecco, an uber-swank "pizzateca" lounge that will serve as a gourmet pizzeria that converts to an epic two story club at night.  This place is a hidden gem -- the minimal decor of the exterior could not have prepared me for what was inside.  Hell, my photos don't do it justice. I can't believe we're going to have a gaming party at this place, and you know how we do.

Broke? No problem - this is a free event, sponsored by Triton!

Check out the gallery for a look at what you're gonna miss if you don't come out: GameWars is bringing 32 game stations, Infinite Bits is bringing all kinds of retro stuff, SFX-360 is hosting a free tournament with prizes like an Xbox 360 Elite, FuriousGamer is giving away a PlayStation 3, and we're sponsoring a Street Fighter IV tournament with $200 cash prizes plus game giveaways every hour and all kinds of debauchery. It's going to be sick. SICK!

The event happens on Feb 21: Doors open at 3pm: here's your driving directions.  Hit up Gamertag Radio for more info. See you there! Orlando Dtoiders from the post-Otronicon BBQ, yes, you can crash on our sofa -- you've got dibs.

UPDATE: Here's a video walkthrough!

 

 

Totally unrelated: A mall around the corner is using the Pac Man font. Neat.

I'm off the 21st and I'm about 10 minutes away.

Do I just show up and say I'm a Dtoider? I've been active on the site, but I've never actually met anyone!

@resonance - that only happens if you're viewing the Tritton site with a browser other than IE or Firefox. Their site isnt optimized for Chrome either. It's spelled Tritton and I've already notified Niero.

@Magnalon Just show up and have fun. That's all we ask!

It's almost a 4 hour drive from orlando but this looks hella worth it. Guess I'll be finding out how much a cheap motel is for this.
