We at GeneralGames.ca, have been quite active in the Xbox Canada community for a long while and it has really been getting stronger with each year so we thought it would be a great idea to organize a community social. Saturday, November 14th come out to the Strathcona Hotel Bar in downtown Toronto and join us for food and drink. You can meet fellow community members face to face and see where all that trash-talk is coming from. We look forward to seeing you there and there may be some surprises in store. Please RSVP in the comments section and feel free to ask any questions.
[UPDATE:]
We have some exciting news. At the holiday party we will be having an exciting raffle and auction for some very cool prizes donated from a few vary gracious publishers. All of the proceeds will be going to Child’s Play, a very worthy organization that gets hospitals equipped for kids. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but there is some awesome stuff we’ll be giving away. Look forward to this, it’s going to be awesome!
[UPDATE 2:]
I am happy to let all you west coasters who can’t make it, and those just too darn lazy to show up, will be able to help with the Child’s Play charity raffle and be part of this evening’s event!
Starting around 8:00 PM EST simply go to: http://www.tinychat.com/generalgames
That site will host our live party camera and chat room which will run all night long.
You may not be there but you can still shout out to the community all night long.
I have also made a digital prize package full of XBLA and Steam download tokens.
I will be announcing what’s in the package around 10:00 PM EST in the chatroom.
To win the prize donate some money here: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ via PayPal
In the comments of your donation write that it was for the GeneralGames Holiday Party
Send a screenshot of the receipt (all private info missing) to justin@generalgames.ca
Every $3 donated will earn you 1 entry in the raffle.
The winner will be announced at the end of the night.
If you win and aren’t in the chat room I’ll e-mail you the prizes regardless.
If you have any questions I’ll be checking this thread as well as my email over the night.
Remember to donate generously and enjoy talking with your fellow community members.
Hope everyone has fun tonight whether you’re present or not.
