E3 Returns To LA Convention Center
Sadly, unlike my cohorts, I was unable to attend last year's E3. As such, I only experienced what was arguably the best example of fixing something that isn't broken through the various tales of horror related to me. Journos across the board were shuffled hither and thither in a strange pantomime of the Keystone Cops, often arriving late for, or missing entirely, interviews and panels which I am sure they'd rather have attended.
It appears that next year E3 returns to its old home in the Los Angeles Convention Center for 2008. The ESA was quick to note that the return of E3 to it's ancestral spawning grounds did not indicate a return to the epic trade show style convention of old with, "press events and small meetings" being the order of the day and the likely possibility of Kentia hall being turned into the freeplay hangar.
E3 will take place July 15-17, yet sadly, most of us will have to make do with E for All, lacking the sweet, sweet journalistic credentials (however seemingly apocryphal and overblown) to be considered for such an event. A chosen few from the 'Geek will make a daring journey to the streets of Los Angeles, armed with badges and cameras, to paw creepily at barely clothed booth girls and incite volleys of snide remarks wherever necessary.
What say you?!
