Going to Comic-Con? Come to the SOE Block Party!
I don’t generally post about anything related to work, but I’ll make an exception because this is related more to fun than work. Sony Online Entertainment will be holding its first ever SOE Block Party on Saturday, July 22, during the Comic-Con convention. It will be at SOE HQ and will take place from 3:00PM to 7:00PM.
If you’re already headed to Comic-Con or live in the area, I’d love to meet you at the SOE Block Party. Yes, that means I’ll be there, and apparently I’m going to have to “volunteer” to go in the dunk tank. Since there is already text detailing the party, I’ll go ahead and reuse it. 
Come join us for the first-ever SOE Block Party! This community event will be held during the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 22 from 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM. Even if you?re not attending Comic-Con this year, stop by the Block Party anyway!
The Block Party will feature guided tours of the SOE buildings, prize raffles, food, drinks (like beer!) and other assorted goodies. There will also be SOE game demos, including a sneak peak at the upcoming PlayStation?3 title, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom!
Come and meet SOE dev team members and staff–you may even get a chance to drop them in the dunk tank! You?ll also have the opportunity to meet acclaimed fantasy author R.A. Salvatore along with comic writer and The Matrix Online storyteller, Paul Chadwick.
Buses will shuttle attendees from the San Diego Convention Center from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM (Look for the SOE signs near section B of the Convention Center). Return trips to the Convention Center will be running every half hour until 7:00 PM. For those of you coming on your own, we highly recommend carpooling, as parking will be limited.

That sounds like a lot of fun. That’s the day I’ll be getting in town, so I’m not sure I’ll have time to settle in then make it there, but I sure as hell am going to try.

I may be in the area next weekend, by some weird coincidence (being treated for near-daily migraines near San Diego). I might make it.
I’m almost tempted
Sounds like the best thing happening during the Con on saturday. Do we need to hunt down tickets or just jump on the shuttle?
Nope, no need for tickets. Just make your way to the bus.
