1/16 - Come to The Engadget Show, fresh from CES!

For lovers of the latest in technology and consumer electronics (i.e. CES 2010) or those who don't really know much but are up for a new experience (yes, that would be me, as always: ), come to the FREE taping of The Engadget Show, this Sat 1/16!!

This taping will ft. Erick Tseng from Google, Sr. Product Manager for Android, plus a wrap-up of the cool gizmo and gadgets from CES, AND (my favorite) they are "giving away a bunch of stuff", which is enough reason for me to go in itself haha.

Ok, the important info: TICKETS - 2 options!

1. Go to the Times Center (41st bet 7th and 8th Ave) @ 2p, when ticketing will start, first come first serve.  You should prob get there by 1p though, because there will surely be a line.
2. Sprint is giving away 50 guaranteed seats via email or text entry!  For the first 50 people, so do it quick - "ENGADGET" to 467467.  Greg R. (thanks for the heads up about the event!) and I got ours this morning, and it ends tomorrow 1/15, so you still have a shot!

Let's Celebrate 2010 Together!

I'm coming back to NYC just in time to celebrate the new year in the city, and I'd love for you to join us!

A big group of my friends and I are attending and supporting RESTORE2010, "which is the New Year's Eve benefit bash to help Restore rescue women from sex-trafficking in New York City".  All proceeds from the tickets (only $30!!) go to the organization, and I've heard from year's past that this is a fun event!  If anything, we'll all be together, which will be the best part about it: )
