To celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated Halo 3, the Microsoft Evangelism team in Chicago is hosting a Pre-Launch party on Sept. 24th in Downers Grove, IL. We have a *LIMITED* number of invites available, but you, dear reader, have an opportunity to join in on the festivities. I could come up with some crazy treasure-hunt or logic problem for you to solve to receive your registration code, but frankly, I’m too tired and not creative enough to come up with something snazzy. Instead, I had a little Silverlight fun.

Update: This event is sold out. All registration codes have been distributed.

That’s it. Simple enough, right?

Of course, you’re likely to have a question or two, so I’ll try to answer them here.

Can I bring a friend? Yes, but please limit it to (1) and make sure they register as well.

Will Food and Drink be served? Yes, of course. Are you kidding? You need something to sip on while you wait to re-spawn after getting a plasma grenade shoved up your…

Can I blog this? Yes. But I ask that you link back to this post for any updates or changes to the registration code.

A few other details to wet your appetite – like you need more. Each attendee will go home with a little something-something. Unfortunately, it’s not the game, so don’t get your hopes up. We’ll also be holding various tournaments throughout the night with some great prizes going to the frag champions.

Be sure to register NOW! When I say we have limited invites, I’m not kidding.
