Here's the place: Black and White at 86 E. 10th St. Special guests include Adam Pash, Gina Trapani, Jason Chen and Brian Lam, who are here from the west coast for a limited time only. All the normal NYC guys like Adam Frucci will be there too.

We'll start heading there at 6 or 7PM, and if you're in the area, come say hello. [Location]

Our big item will be an exclusive public hands-on opportunity with the PSPGo system, so you can decide once and for all if it's up to snuff. There will also be Beatles Rockband, Street Fighter IV and DJ Hero on the 103-inch TV. And Chris Jacob will be around somewhere annoying people with the laser synth-guitar. So for the love of God, please stop by. It will be fun.

We'll also have the ArcAttack performance streaming live in HD during the reader meetup, thanks to the video streaming system provided by LiveStream, which uses 6 3G cards and 2 WiFi cards in aggregate to transmit a camcorder's firewire video signal at a fairly high bitrate. This stream looks good:

Our second annual Snowmodo event is going to be an amazing amount of fun, so if you are anywhere near the Tahoe area we really suggested you stop by and take part in the festivities. Even if you aren't a skier or snowboarder, we still encourage you to join. Northstar has activities like ice skating, tubing, sledding, scavenger hunts, shopping, amazing food, even better bars and more. If the extra activities weren't enough, Zune will also be throwing a party just for our Snowmodo event complete with drinks, snacks and music.

Carpool:
For those of you who want to carpool, we would suggest that you turn the comment's section of this post into a carpool thread. For those who have space available in the car and are willing to give a ride to those who need it, please feel free to post a comment stating your availability. We're hoping you guys will be able to work this out amongst yourselves. So, good luck!

You guys basically have two options. We can either run a carpool system that you guys figure out amongst yourselves in the comments section or we help arrange for a private bus. Working out the carpool option is pretty easy but the bus is little tougher. For those who need a ride to the mountain for our Snowmodo event, please read each option's info and than choose which is best for you.

Also, if you're planning on attending and haven't already filled out an RSVP form please do so below. Thanks!

OMG! Ponies, Kaiser-Machead, Get 'Em SteveDave and '92 BuickLeSabre are organizing a commenter meetup based around the 6pm showing of Watchmen at Lincoln Square on March 7th. This isn't an official Gizmodo event, and I don't think any editors are able to make it, but that shouldn't stop you from going.

Interested? Shoot Ponies (nee Matthew Baron) a private message using our little system here or email him at embee@omg-ponies.com. And may the force be with you all (that's what this movie is about, right?).

Update: OK, so the boneheads scheduled this without checking to see if the movie was sold out, which it is. So just read the comments below and they'll get everything sorted out, or harass Ponies at the email above and he'll let you know what's what.

If you have any ideas for products or companies you would like see at our Snowmodo meetup, than please leave a comment with your suggestions. Try to keep the suggestions in the range of possibility, so products like TVs or Computers shouldn't be proposed. We want gear that will be useful to someone with an active lifestyle who loves gadgets and technology.

If you're in Vegas, a ton of my favorite characters from Gizmodo, Boing Boing and others are going to be hanging out at Casino Royale at 9pm Thursday. I hope to see you there. I'll update this post tomorrow with more specific details.

• The DeLorean, with full Back to the Future rigging, will be here at 5pm, parked in front of the Gallery. Maybe we can arrange for rides?

• The reader meetup is happening tonight. The Gallery will be closed to the public at 8, but if you're a reader, knock on the REED ANNEX door and say the password ("password") for a private viewing until the drinks across the street happen at 9. We'll also be giving away a few iPhone t-shirts that Jesús designed for the original iPhone launch, and in the bar across the street (The Annex, not to be confused with REED Annex) beers will be $4, which I'm told is some kind of freaking discounted price in NYC. Got that? Full details for location below.

• Matt Buchanan and Adam Frucci have told me they think they can take on ANYONE in Call of Duty. And if you come in and beat them between 4PM-5:30pm, I've got some prizes for you from our giant stash.

Of course, we also have all the gallery items we've run before, plus some newly arrived Bug Labs gadgets and a 20th Anniversary Mac which we're giving away—more later on that.

The Hotel Sax will be generously hosting us for the party, a Chicago spot that's gotten some accolades for fun tech stuff they've done with Microsoft. We'll be taking up their 4th floor meeting area (you can walk in and take the elevator directly there), a pretty comfortable spot with a 20-or-so-foot wide screen, a big waterwall fountain and an open bar from 8-10:30PM (party goes to 11).

Thanks to their A/V department, there should be pleasant fraternizing with the melodious backdrop of head-to-head Rock Band 2.

As for the location, the Hotel Sax is located right next to the House of Blues and Marina City. Super easy. Everyone from Chicago knows where I'm talking about. Anyone not from Chicago can get there by cab with no problem at all.

I'm planning on a good turnout (we're fast-approaching 100 RSVPs), but do me a favor and email tips with 'RSVP' in the subject line if you haven't yet (and you plan on coming, of course), just so I can get a rough headcount. It'll be pretty much just me representing from the Giz side, but hope to meet you there!

Sure, we all got caught in what felt like the storm of the century right when we entered the ballbark. No big deal. Everyone ended up sprinting next door to Peggy O'Niells for some pitchers of beer and some of the most difficult to eat cheese dogs we've ever seen. Eventually, the rain let up, the game started, and we enjoyed our seats near first base while discovering just why the members of the Coney Island Cyclones are on a minor league team: they suck.

It was great to put faces to commenter names, even if it was kind of weird calling people by real names when you just want to call them, say, 92buicklesabre. Everybody was really cool, and despite whatever expectations I might have had, there was not a single socially awkward geek to be found. Sure, there were plenty of geeks, but all of them were more than personable. Thanks to Nokia's Ovi share system and the N95 they lent us, you can see the pictures we took during the meetup and uploaded to the site above.

At the end of the night, we handed out a bunch of fun swag from Nerf, Razer and Steelseries, making plans to hang out again and see the Dark Knight. We'll definitely have another NYC meetup of some sort in the future, but probably at a bar in Manhattan so more people can make it.

Oh, and OMG! Ponies and Kaiser-Machead, who both promised to show up and then didn't? You're both banned.
