ScrewAttack Gaming Convention this weekend! Come say hi! photo

The ScrewAttack Gaming Convention starts this weekend from Friday, July 3 to Sunday, July 5 and it promises to be a fun-stuffed weekend of games, geekery and ... maybe Jack Thompson. It's looking like it'll be a very amusing 72 hours, and naturally Destructoid will be there to support our good friends at ScrewAttack.

Unfortunately, Mr. Destructoid himself is unable to attend due to Friday Night Fight commitments, so the Destructoid Panel will not be a featured part of the shenanigans. However, your ol' pal Jim Sterling and a group of drunkards from DtoidAustin will be in attendance, so if you see us, make sure to say hello and please, if you must punch me, don't hit my beautiful face. 

There has been news that Jack Thompson chickened out of his debate at the convention, but Destin from SG tells me he's back on. We'll have to see if JT has the stones to go through with it, and if he does, I'll be liveblogging the affair. Fun times!

Jim, I'm sure you'll be quite busy but I'd love to meet up with you and any dtoid people if you're out and about. Getting drunk with Jim Sterling is a life goal of mine (starting now), so lets make that happen. I've got a hotel room and some booze at the hotel of SGC.....come one come all, Funran will open up his doors. BOOZE TIME!

funran: You're at the same hotel as the convention? Apparently, that's where I am too! Looks like good times will be a few doors away.

Post a picture of that lovable icon and I'll read any blog you write. The Hello Kitty sign doesn't hurt either.

Jim,

Yep, got a hotel room booked for Friday and Sat night. 3 of my friends will be coming with me, 2 of us are dtoiders, so were both looking forward to meeting you. I'll send you a twitter with our room number, if you're bored maybe we can take some shots and dick around in the hotel, maybe cause some trouble.

Jack thompson IS coming to SGC.. according to Hard News. And since that is ScrewAttacs own news show it should be legit.
