you don't need an issued pass to go to e3.
just do like me and pay someone leaving the place 20 bucks for theirs, then bullshit your way in

You don’t need to bullshit your way in. I was "Amy Chen" for two years.
Only recently did I ever get a pass of my own. And, even then, as long as you have the right color badge around your neck, they never check and just wave you in with the masses of people... especially on the 2nd and 3rd day.
Everybody should swing by. It’s loverly.
The parties are great. Mostly centered around networking, drinking and rediculous set ups (and a bunch of star spotting *yawn*).... the "geeks" are usually the people who make the games -- not the people who cut the cheques. It's just like pretty much any Hollywood party. But, the video game industry is one of the fastest growing and most profitable industries in Los Angeles. So, there’s quite a bit more decadence involved.

i usually get press pass and they never believe i'm press so the guards invariably quiz me on my name, job, etc... that's what i meant about bullshitting
so anyway, you got invites to any of these decadent parties shellie, or what?

this year i got a shit load... but only because im doing as upper management for an ad firm. wasn't really my pull but theyre throwing me to the sharks as the "female sneak attack"... *secretly sells website to unsuspecting VP*
ive been involved in teh game industry for many years... i could name off best of show for the last 3 or 4 e3s... so they like having a girl around who can talk games. clients dont mind it either. and one of our clients is VU.
im not sure if i will go, I could tell you tomorrow, but the only party I can remember is the Jamdat warehouse party, which will be huge because it was a very very big year for them. It's on wednesday. But there's another party on wednesday in santa monica, couldn't tell you whos right now (it's late).
zzzzzz

I'm still trying to decide if i'm going to go to an e8 party,
- shellie0
it seems as though with so many many many interative agencies in LA, that so many more of you would be going. i still say there needs to be a post e3 bar nite on thursday for everyone who wont or cant go to the sony party.
