I just got off the phone with the student in charge of Marist's "Gaming for Hope" event, Sean O'Connor.
You know the event, don't you? The one that is ABSOLUTELY FREE on SATURDAY, beginning at 1 p.m. and ending at 1 a.m. in Marist's James J. McCann Center, featuring tournaments, prizes, free pizza and just about any popular game you can think of — that one!
Well anyway, Sean said he and the rest of the Marist Computer Society (he's not just a member, he's the president) is just about finished getting McCann all set up. There will be a large portion of the gym in the center devoted to console gaming, with smaller tables on the sides for computer games and tabletop games.
He also gave me the inside scoop on some of the prizes that will be either raffled away or won in tournaments:
1 iPod Shuffle, 2 Nintendo DS... what's the plural of DS? And — get this — 1 NINTENDO WII.
That's right, you can win a Wii, and play one too, for free, if you show up at the McCann Center on Saturday.
And the best part of this event (other than the fact that it's free) is that all the proceeds will be going directly to the Child's Play charity.
For more on the event and Sean's thoughts beforehand, pickup the Saturday Gaming page, located within the sports section (page 5C!). View the full story HERE.
So who am I going to be seeing there?
