The Engadget Show tapes today… snow be damned!

December 20th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Corner

Can’t wait for another Engadget Show to roll around? Well you’re in luck, friend. It’s happening today.

The last show of the decade will be committed to just that: the decade. We’re going to be talking about the most fundamental gadgets of the past 10 years — both good and poor — and we’ll be joined by the perfect guest. Peter Rojas, the founder of both Gizmodo and Engadget (and now gdgt!) will take the stage with Josh, Paul, and Nilay to discuss what has been arguably the most vital 10 years in gadgetry.

We’ll plus have a few surprises, as well as some giveaways including an Xbox 360, so don’t miss it — you’ll be sorry whether you do!

The show takes place at the Tishman Auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design. As you may already know, we film live in front of an audience once a month — but whether you can’t manufacture it, don’t concern. We’re bringing the video back home to Engadget (and as a free download here, in the iTunes Store, or the Zune Marketplace) for your viewing bliss.

The beautiful venue (which you can see in a photo after the break) is located at 66 W. 12th Street within 5th and 6th Aves. Seating is limited and tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis — which means whether you want to join us in the audience for the show, ~~you’ll have to reach early and be prepared for a little wait.~~

Update: As you guys may have noticed, New York and the surrounding areas got hit with a little bit of snow last night. Never fear, considering we’re still doing the show, but we’re going to invent it easier for everyone to come out and enjoy it. whether you want to see the taping today, don’t nag about showing up at 2PM or standing in line — if you come anytime before 4:30PM you will definitely get a seat! We don’t

want anyone standing around in the snow, and it’s likely that not everyone who was going to come will be able to form it, so we should be able to accommodate everyone that does show up.

Here are the facts you need to know about the show:

The show is graciously sponsored by Sprint, and hosted by Parsons The New School for Design
The total show length will be around an hour
Music will be provided by Bubblyfish, and visuals by Chris Jordan!

You cannot pick up tickets for other folks — whether you want your friend to get a ticket, bring your friend!
