Vancouver Report - FIFA Community Day
Well I’ve touched down in Vancouver. It’s midnight. I’m tired but up giving you guys a ‘tag along’ I suppose. I have some photos up of where I am…I almost forgot how EA takes such good care of you when you’re visiting them on one of these events. I arrived earlier than the rest of the crew to tend to some business but what I hear is that fellow Xbox MVP, Coola, will be headed up tomorrow. I’m looking forward to meeting up with him.
Each time I’ve visited with EA here, I’ve seen some celebs. And this time is no different. Pam Grier and that one guy from Freddy vs Jason so far. I just ordered a $20 burger/fries combo. Don’t even get me started…I can’t even believe it but I’m hungry and well let’s just say I’m taking the plate with me.
I have my wireless connection going with my Alienware but the connection is so ‘off and on’ it’s crazy. It looks like the Xbox.com message boards are back up (you can all breathe again lol)
Hope everything is going okay in U360 land. I’ll have more during my stay here. No cameras or laptops are being allowed when we get to the studio so I don’t know how much of the actual event I’ll be able to grab.

[quote comment="5502"]LOL, I’m starting to think Deacon doesn’t have to pay for anything. ;)[/quote]
Your right SirHarper, Deacon has all the hookups! Everyone is not able to jump on a plane and fly to Canada and pay $20.00 for a burger
Must be nice. Well Deac, its starting to get cold here in Dallas though. This morning was about 50 degreez (with the windchill) but I’m sure that’s nothing compared to where you are. Enjoy your trip and bring back some
goodies!!

I imagine it’s either something he took home from the FIFA thingamajig or the Star Trek: Legacy interview.

If it is what I think it’s even greater than that.
But also…he could have picked something up for his IRL buddy GameSkillz. So maybe we are overthinking it.

Look at the bottom of the new post, I’m pretty sure it was the Legacy interview…I hope by “when I get back” he means when I get back from the even to his hotel and not all of the way back to Texas.

If Deacon brings anything back he needs to hook me up with a PS3
