NY Gaming & Social Media meetup tonight (+ free drinks!)

This week is New York Social Media Week, and tonight, Games.com will be participating in an event hosted by GameGround called 'NY Gaming & Social Media -- What's working?'

Myself, along with colleagues from Blizzard, MTV, Rockstar, OMGPOP and others will be having a casual discussion about how our different companies have been using social media and what's working ... and what hasn't. And, as an added bonus, there will also be free beer, wine and snacks afterwards. Who doesn't like free food and drinks -- am I right?
