Geek Night Launch

Morning after.

How much do maids cost?

Last night was Geek Night. This happens every first Thursday. To fill in a little of the back story: a few years ago some gaming-enthusiast co-workers and I wanted to create a kind of “book-of-the-month club/poker night” (sans books or poker chips) that centered around gaming. The rules were simple, first Thursday of the month, revolving hosting, and the host supplied the food and drink. It turned into demo sessions of everything we had either bought or were playing that month. Damn fun.

Geek Night has since hopped coasts and followed us to LA. Now it’s next-gen gaming with next-gen food and beer. While I miss my East Coast pals, my West Coast buddies sometime bring dev boxes with stuff I shouldn’t be playing yet. Damn fun!

This Geek Night was a little different though. It was the first time we announced Meat Bun, and got to demo a few prototype shirts.

It was great to finally remove the self-inflicted gag order, and to give the inner circle a look at the project we have been spending so much time on. Hell, things really started officially for Meat Bun last Tokyo Game Show, and the next TGS is around the corner. I’m thrilled with the reactions we got during Geek Night. If these guys are digging the concept, then I have a sneaking suspicion others might too.
