Zune Parties Galore
We’ve been pretty busy over the last few days and in particular, Yvonne and I had the chance to enjoy two Zune related events for free over those days.
Things got rolling last Thursday night after volleyball as Yvonne and I drove over to the Element located in the Hollywood area. Microsoft held a preview party at the Element and you can find tons of pics here at my other blog - ZuneSphere.com.
The preview party sums up to the following:
Free food. Free drinks. Free music. Play with the new Zune.
IS NICE.
On Friday night, we headed out to the movies and watch Borat : Cultural Learnings of Amerca for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Oh man.. if you haven’t seen this movie yet - you just have to!! It’s hilarious. Yes it’s offensive.. but it’s hilarious and it really does open your eyes to some interesting things about America.
We spent the daytime portion of Saturday down at K1 Speed which is located in Irvine. What is K1 Speed? It’s an indoor kart racing facility and my company was having a little event there. If you’ve been to a kiddie go carting place before - this place kills that concept. K1 Speed is really designed for adults who want to race each other in small karts.
We had a couple of races and in the end, Yvonne smoked me in the final race. Heck she nearly LAPPED ME too.. but I apparently blocked her 
Saturday night - we had dinner with the folks.. and then we headed on over to Elder to help teach some vball to kiddies. I’ll be honest.. I didn’t want to go initially (I just wanted to go home and watch some HD DVD’s!) but the whole experience ended up being a lot of fun. If you’re into vball and you’re in the area - check it out.
Monday rolls around, Yvonne and I manage to get into the official Microsoft launch party for the Zune. This time, the party was being held at Roxy where the Red Hot Chili Peppers were playing. You can find pics and videos at ZuneSphere of course.
Along the way, I also posted a review of the new Xbox 360 HD DVD player at Krunker.com. I’m also working on a review of the new Microsoft Zune which was launched yesterday.
All told.. lots of things going on..
IS NICE..
