Technically Philly and Geekadelphia Section 8 release party crowds Tattooed Mom

Above a relatively sleepy Wednesday night bar crowd on the first floor of Tattooed Mom was the noise of our first co-hosted event with culture blog Geekadelphia, held earlier this week.
The eclectic hipster grunge South Street institution played host to the Philadelphia release party for Section 8, the soon-to-debut Timegate first person science-fiction shooter for XBox and PCs. A decidedly more 20-something crowd of 60 scenesters and geeks came for the party, sharing the bar’s tagged and multicolored upstairs with two dozen others who trickled in and out throughout the night.

At the evening’s peak, crowded around the upstairs bar, copies of the game, Tattooed Mom merchandise, gift certificates and posters were raffled off — according to XBox video game names given to guests at the door — and three dozen signature tasty treats from the Open Source Cupcake girls were cleared from tin pans.

Two pool tables buzzed, and, inexplicably, the “Blue Robot” mixed drink specials seemed to carry more vodka as the night went on.
“Everyone here had a great time and really enjoyed the event and the crowd — what a crowd — that showed up for it,” said Tattooed Mom owner Robert Perry.
The event saw a healthy slice of the region’s video game scene, like Chris Grant, editor-in-chief of gaming-mega-blog Joystiq, members of the Videogame Growth Initiative crew and a locally-based Timegate developer who worked on the Section 8 game.
Other members of Philadelphia’s Web 2.0 and social media communities made appearances, including Ben Kessler of popular food blog Unbreaded and IndyHall co-founder Alex Hillman, among others.

Special thanks are owed to Perry and the entire staff of Tattooed Mom, Eric Smith, the co-founder and editor of Geekadelphia, his entire crew, our Timegate sponsor, and, of course, everyone who attended. We hope this to be just the first of many events thrown for and with the community.
So what didya think? How can we do better? How good were those Blue Robot specials?
