We are two days away from the main event and already the excitement is in the air in LA. After registering and securing our media badges we were invited to X-box Live Tweet up at Luck Strike. With food, drink and lanes to bowl, a good time was had by all. Microsoft was a very accommodating group and ensured that everyone was thanked individually including those that did not get into the VIP section. As people left, others that were not granted access were given badges so that they too could meet Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb, Eric “E” Neustadter, Stephen “Stepto” Toulouse and Eric “DMZilla” Doty. Many people won passes to the exclusive 2011 Microsoft Media Briefing occurring Tuesday morning.

Our friend, Will Anderson, from pnosker.com was able to meet Microsoft’s security icon, Stephen Toulouse, and got a signed copy of his book, “A Microsoft Life”. Similarly, I was honored to meet and get a photograph with Major Nelson.

We are very excited to attend the Media Briefing tomorrow! I will be tweeting live all day long, so make sure to check regularly for the latest and greatest of event coverage of E3.
