AMD & HardOCP are teaming up for an event on July 16th in Dallas, TX. I will be attending and would love to see any WSGF members who can attend. We've never done any sort of event on our own, so it would be great to see how many members we can round up.



The teaser from the HardOCP site reads:

Join HardOCP and AMD for a day of gaming in downtown Dallas on July 16th! Raffles and tons of free stuff will be had. Free-for-all headshots will be made. Winners will be crowned. Losers will be chastised! Get hands on with AMD's "Bulldozer" FX processor! Hands on preview of Deus Ex: Human Revolution! Plenty of Fusion, Eyefinity, and Big Screen demo stations. More details coming soon. Discussion. New details start here.

You can get more details at http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/06/02/texas_gamexperience_july_16, or on the Facebook event page - http://www.facebook.com/AMDHardOCPGamExperience.

The event is at 2616 Commerce Street in Deep Ellum (just east of downtown Dallas).

Aww, really? I was strongly thinking of going but now that there's a WSGF event I HAVE to. Hmm, I have a dog that will need to be taken care of as well. This may be tricky. Haha, wanna carpool, Ibrin? ;D

Would love to Zencyde, but the wife and I are going to make a weekend vacation of it...

I could setup my screen there if I knew who to contact. It's a straight shot down I-35 from Wichita.

I visit Dallas every year but timing won't work out for this one, bugger. Would have loved to.

I've sent a message to my contact who is setting up the event. I've directed him to this thread. Even if it doesn't work out to bring your rig, please head down. I'd really like to actually meet some people from the site.

You would contact me ;)

Shoot me an email with your contact info and let me know what you are talking about and we will chat. Monte "dot" Fontenot "@gmail "dot" com.

Sounds good. With the time till the event so close I'd think we would need to put together a solid plan early in the week if it's to happen though. I can commit that I can setup the same triple screen projection that was used at the 6800-series launch event in L.A. and at the AMD House of Blues VIP party at CES 2011. The only unknown is the game to put on the screen and the controller to put in front of it. With AMD sponsoring I'm sure they would have a game in mind though.

Will do, whipping up an email right now. :)

Another AMD event sounds cool, but a WSGF meet-up is even sweeter! Wish I could be there. For all who can make it, have a great time!

Get hands on with AMD' "Bulldozer" FX processor!

Hands? Not eyes? Also possible to try to Overclock them ?

P.S means Bulldozer will be released on 16th, or NDA will fall then? ^^

Sadly i live in europe and can't go :cry:

I will be there along with my fiance, we need WSGF t-shirts :)

My wife will be there as well, unless she decides to spend the day at the spa. I did think about how we would find each other.

Sent the email on Friday. Hope it went through ok. It was mostly about logistics of the screen. Probably scared him off with too much detail though. *chuckle*

I'll be there, I'm live between Denton and Lewisville... See ya there!

Still working through things. I want to help them with their multi-projection setups by supplying NTHUSIM at least. Anyone willing to let me sleep on their floor someplace in the area? I'm working on zero budget but want to be down there. :)

I will be there. Can't wait to see the new AMD hardware and meet you guys.

I'm going to have some shirts printed to give out. Let me know which one you like and your size. Will order on Tuesday or Wednesday, so rush shipping will make it.

I will take 2 NON ringer, 1 in large and one in medium. Hope I made the cutoff, will pay :)

I also signed up for the Wave 2 of TF2 tournaments there, the 1pm and 2pm ones!

I'll get them ordered. I don't want to show up and start selling stuff. To me, it would just look bad. I'm glad to give away shirts for our first meet up. Besides, I'm on a high from the Drupal launch. ;-) If you'd like to make a "payment", please donate to the Chip-In for Delphium in the left nav.
