Xbox 360 Project Natal Event
+ What I Wore & Party Pics

Last Wednesday evening the husband and I went to an Xbox 360 event at The G2 Gallery {who donates all proceeds from art sales to environmental causes} on Abbot Kinney in Venice. We were so lucky to be invited to get a sneak peek at the new way of gaming with no controllers called Project Natal.

Last June, I posted about my excitement for Project Natal here and cannot believe just under a year later, I actually got to experience it before it's even released to the public ...which they're thinking will be around the holidays 2010. How exciting. We literally cannot wait to get one in our home!

Since Mondays are usually reserved for a Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post ...I'll start with what I wore . . .

the husband thought it would be appropriate to wear his Star Wars hoodie . . .and not remove his sunglasses the entire night because, as he put it, it was bright in there ....lol

The swag . . .

As we walked in, they handed me a super awesome new minoHD FlipCam {with the Xbox 360 logo on the back} that I got to keep. I used up the entire battery at the event and came home with little great footage due to my unsteady hand.

It wasn't long before we found the sofa and planted ourselves there for the remainder of the evening. We really had the perfect view
