Don't be shy! If you see someone in a WoW Insider shirt, stop and say hello. If you don't see someone in a WoW Insider shirt at the locations listed below the break, it's probably because it's the middle of winter and we're all doing our best not to freeze to death. Just ask around!
Oh, did I mention all WoW Insider staff members will be armed with Slashdance and Tiny loot codes from WoWTCGLoot.com?
A list of attending staff members and their locations are behind the break. And below, pictures from the Wrath midnight launches attending by the WoW Insider crew.

@SaintStryfe I don't dispute that I live in the frozen wasteland that is Buffalo *peers over at the 9ft mound of snow outside his office window* But hey, at least we have some amazing micro breweries!
@FoxKelfonne where did you reserve your collectors edition at?
FoxKelfonne Dec 4th 2010 11:26PM
Gamestop at the Boulevard Mall.
Hollow Leviathan Dec 3rd 2010 8:21PM
No one in Washington state? Ah, well. Have a great night out, everyone.
Eddy Dec 3rd 2010 11:31PM
Well, unless you wanna trek up to BC. Which frankly isn't far, if you're someplace like Seattle.) I'm not crazy enough to do that, but...
Skarn Dec 4th 2010 1:24AM
True, not sure where Burnaby is though....
Anyway, I've got work early in the morning, I'm gonna skip out on the Midnight release extravaganza.
Trevor Dec 4th 2010 1:08PM
@Skarn
Burnaby is a part of Metro Vancouver and is the 3rd largest city in BC (by population) it is the home of EA Games, and The Bridge Studios (Where they film[ed] Stargate, BSG, and Sanctuary, among others).
I myself live on the island, and already preordered from my local EB. I would have loved to meet Kelly though, been a fan for a long time.
Oh well, I'll wave from across the Sea.
Ginny Dec 3rd 2010 8:22PM
And so I'm alone in Little Rock, Arkansas. :(
AudreyR Dec 3rd 2010 11:34PM
And I, in the Fayetteville area. It's just as well I went with the download. It's too frigging cold this time of year. x.x
Kar On E Dec 3rd 2010 8:23PM
Aw man! I'm in the state w/ Anne...but Grand Junction? Ouch...
Mark Dec 4th 2010 1:14AM
Yep, wrong side of the mountains, Anne.
Oh well, looks like I'll just be hitting Wal-Mart alone, saw (cutaia)'s comment, but still a little far. Maybe if we were on EST and I had 3 hours to kill before it goes live, but we only get an hour o.O
Luminaris Dec 4th 2010 12:57PM
Agreed, too far south and east of me :( If it was a little closer I'd go, seeing as we cant play till 1am anyways.
Rommster Dec 3rd 2010 8:28PM
I just found out from THIS very post that the Best Buy in Sherman Oaks where my CE will be waiting for me is having a midnight launch party...AND that Robinemia will be there (hopefully wearing bunny ears)! I may just have to stop "Buy"!
kunukia Dec 3rd 2010 8:32PM
Nice! I am in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and I am not gonna go to Milwaukee, but it is nice to see something happening so close! Makes me feel not quite so out of the loop!
alteffour Dec 3rd 2010 8:36PM
Anyone else going to be at the Gamestop in Berkeley, CA?
Harvoc Dec 4th 2010 12:30AM
Now that one I can go to! Sherman Oaks is a 5 hr drive from where I live so no way is that happening!
bwahaha Dec 3rd 2010 8:38PM
i really wanna go to minnesota now...
only 2 states in the middle of winter isnt bad right?
...right? :(
Drakkenfyre Dec 3rd 2010 8:40PM
So this is the list to stalk, err, note description of, err, see people.
Ok, not really.
One of the downsides to ordering is not attending events like these. One of the upsides is not having to go out at midnight to a store, and freezing your butt off.
mike Dec 3rd 2010 8:43PM
Booooo, nobody is at my best buy...I am working the event though =D should be fun
MusedMoose Dec 3rd 2010 8:46PM
Might as well ask - anyone else going to the Cottonwood mall Gamestop in Albuquerque, NM?
Jon Dec 3rd 2010 10:57PM
Shockingly enough, I'll be at cottonwood
