Slingerland Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 From my post at Sonic Retro/Sonic Stadium: After years of wanting a Sonic community event here in the United States, we’re finally getting one with “Sonic Boom,” special treat for those in town during the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on the night of Wednesday, June 8th. We will be hanging out, playing some Sonic Generations and celebrating Sonic’s 20th anniversary. Best of all: this event is absolutely free.Sonic Retro and Sonic Stadium, in cooperation with SEGA of America, have 2,000 seats to fill and we need our dedicated forum members to pack the house! This event will be big, so you’re going to need to reserve a spot. SEGA is currently letting 500 people RSVP to the event, but both Retro and Stadium have a specific allotment of passes, too, ensuring that everybody has a chance to go. How can you go as a member of Sonic Retro or Sonic Stadium? Just e-mail me at slingerland AT sonicretro DOT org or bradflick AT sonicstadium DOT org and you will get a link to sign up through us. It’s that simple! This event will be very exciting. Not only will you be able to play Sonic Generations without having to go to E3, but many recognizable community members will be in attendance! At this time, Chimpo, Gene and myself will be there, along with Jason and Nuckles87 from Sonic Stadium, but we will have some international flair with Dreadknux, T-Bird and The Taxman in the building! So, come on, America! We’ve got community members from all over the world coming to this party. You don’t want to miss out! Tickets have only been available for a few minutes and they are going fast.

Rawr Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'll throw my own convention up here in Canada with just me attending, and then I'll play my own makeshift Generations which will be a siezure inducing gameplay session involving me switch between Classic Sonic games and Unleashed every few seconds and then I'll die. In other words I wish I could go, I would love to be able to try Generations out! Unfortunately I live nowhere near LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 But it says you are from NYC. I am sort of on the other side. But feel free to escort me to the hospital after said seizure. Maybe I won't die if you get here in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This why they need events like this on the Eastcoast, namely Georgia. In other words, I wish I could, but now way in hell I can. I hope you other members have fun and record some footage (if allowed to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
