What's BlizzCon without the WoW Insider Reader Meetup? Last year, we rocked with Anabella with over 2,000 attendees. The drinks flowed, the swag flew and someone ended up in the pool. Oops.
How do we top last year's event? By holding an even bigger one than ever before! And we're doing that with the help of our friends at Wowhead. The Wowhead team will be cohosting the event with us including Members of ZAM Network, TankSpot and WoW Interface. We're very excited to have them with us to make this the go-to party of BlizzCon 2011.
And for those of you who can't make it to Anaheim this year, we have a special treat for you, too. Last year we brought you a 3-hour+ livestream of the event as it happened via webcam. This year, we're doing the same -- but thanks to our friends at Gamebreaker.tv, we'll have better lights, cameras, mics and streaming capabilities than ever before. Mike Sacco and Anne Stickney return to hosting duties throughout the night joined by Gamebreaker's Gary Gannon, Josh Allen AKA Lore, and Mike B.
Mat McCurley will be returning as MC for the evening at the main stage with his trademark humor and, of course, a box full of swag to give away. He will be assisted by our very own Fox Van Allen, who needs no introduction (as he will talk endlessly about himself if you just ask).
We have a long list of VIP guests, special giveaways, and more we can't wait to tell you about. Those details will follow in the next few weeks. Come join us and kick off BlizzCon with your friends at WoW Insider and Wowhead!

This is one of the biggest reasons why I'm sad that I'm not able to make it to BlizzCon this year.
Oh, yeah, and the BlizzCon stuff. :D
Dan O'Halloran Sep 13th 2011 4:18PM
Remember, if you can't make it, you can always watch it on the livestream.

Wow that is going to be one sick party, I wish I could go now just for that party.
Revynn Sep 13th 2011 4:14PM
Im kind of wishing I'd bought tickets to Blizzcon now. I live in the area so I guess I could still go to the meetup, but I'll mostly end up sulking in the corner about how I'm not going to the con.
Robin Torres Sep 13th 2011 4:28PM
There will be others there who are just going to the meetup. Don't let not having tickets keep you away!
Hollow Leviathan Sep 13th 2011 6:39PM
You can be nearly pretty much at Blizzcon due to the wonderful live reporting that WoW Insider does, and enjoy the meetup! I'd be celebrating, not sulking.

Oh...and is this same as last year? Shirts and shoes required; pants optional?
Cadychan Sep 13th 2011 4:59PM
I'm gonna say yes. ;)
Grovinofdarkhour Sep 13th 2011 5:43PM
Unfortunately I cannot be there, but on the flipside, glad I can skip the pants.
emberdione Sep 13th 2011 4:20PM

HalcyonGT Sep 13th 2011 4:24PM

"(as he will talk endlessly about himself if you just ask)."
I'll bite. So, Van Allen, tell us a bit about what you've been up to recently, would you?
Tyler Caraway Sep 13th 2011 4:27PM
I'm totally one of the VIPs that will be there.
Dan O'Halloran Sep 13th 2011 4:34PM
Tyler, I told you not to come around here no more.
Lissanna Sep 13th 2011 4:56PM
Aww... I'll be there to keep Tyler company!
