AMD event in SF - community invites

MonicaAMD · Sep 2, 2009, 04:23 PM

You've probably read about the AMD event that they're holding in San Francisco on September 10th ... would you like to join us?

On the evening of September 10th, AMD would like to invite fans to join us for the unveiling of a new visual PC experience. It'll be a great time with very cool demos of unreleased games, incredible hardware set-ups you have to see to believe, food/drink, great giveaways and a lot more. (This is a 21+ event.)

Interested in joining us? E-mail me at MonicaAMD@gmail.com to request an invite!

pantherx12 · Sep 2, 2009, 05:45 PM

San Francisco is unfortunately slightly out of the way for me to attend.

MonicaAMD@gmail.com , gmail.com ?something is fishy

erocker · Sep 2, 2009, 05:58 PM

Only thing fishy is going to be that delicious seafood in San Francisco bud.

jagd · Sep 2, 2009, 06:11 PM

W1zzard · Sep 2, 2009, 06:22 PM

i'm in the process of confirming the OP's identify, it does look legit so far

ShogoXT · Sep 2, 2009, 06:29 PM

Man I would love to go, but the 10th is a weekday isnt it. I work weekdays and having to travel from Ohio on top of that would make it impossible.

Watch them give out free samples.

YinYang.ERROR · Sep 10, 2009, 04:05 AM

Why is it that you have to be 21 or older again? Do we get drinks?!

They have a bar. But, you don't have to be 21 to go to Dave & Busters, so I don't know

Has anyone been to anything like this before? I am not sure what to expect. It is from 630PM-1AM. Will there be things going on for everyone all night, or do they present things to people in groups?

SonDa5 · Sep 10, 2009, 04:19 AM

I'd love to go but have work to do. Hope you all have a blast and report back with tons of pics and details.
