TGS 2007: Sony Pre-TGS Cocktail Party

Some highlights and sighting include: Sony's Phil Harrison bumping into me on the way to talk to Kotaku's Brian Crescente; the Spider-Man movie prop exhibit at Sony's United Showroom must not be photographed, or you'll be attacked by vicious, scarf wearing female Sony employees; we learned that it takes X-Play's Adam Sessler one or more weeks to deal with jet-lag; and when 9 o'clock rolls around, don't hit your a** on the door on the way out. As Cheap D said: "Play Beyond, but don't play beyond 9 PM."

And while most of you are likely now just waking up, it's time for us to get some sleep. Tomorrow, Tokyo Game Show will officially kick off, and we'll be spending some quality time some games, both on the show floor and behind-closed-doors. Also, keep your eye out for Dale North's feature on which TGS party was the most successful, based on food, alcohol, and game choices. It should be tastier than turkey meatballs, and the most relevant TGS coverage you'll find anywhere else.

[Note to Edge Online's Richard Stanton, who I have never met before: I noticed that your party pass was unclaimed, so I grabbed it for you. I also saved a turkey meatball for you, which I am keeping in in my hotel room until I hear from you. Get in touch with me to claim both the pass and the meatball!]
