The rumors are true:
[h1] [/h1][h1]Sunday, February 14th from 3-8 PM at Wikia HQ[/h1][h1]360 3rd Street, suite 750 [/h1][h1]San Francisco, CA 94107[/h1]
A live event has long been one of our most popular requests, but it's been challenging for us to try and find a way to organize something that meet or exceed lofty expectations compared to all the big for-profit events that companies have launched over the years. We weren't interested in renting out some hotel ballroom or tacky nightclub and charging for entry at the door, nor did we think anyone would be satisfied with an "official" gathering hosted at a picnic table in a public park. You deserve the best we can provide and we just couldn't come up with a suitable venue: until now.
Our friends at Wikia have graciously offered to host our first official live NikeTalk event at their beautiful company headquarters in downtown San Francisco.
In the tradition of the original Bay Area sneaker summit events organized by some of NikeTalk's earliest members, NikeTalk Live will be a community meet-up event rather than a "sneaker convention."
Hang out and watch the game with longtime community members and staff in the lounge area. Enjoy some tournament action in Wikia's dedicated gaming space and compete for prizes and bragging rights.
Take part in our charity auction to help us raise money for a great cause and bid on some unique items. Stop by Wikia's Fan Studio and record a message for your fellow members.
We have some surprises in store as well, and plan on breaking a little news at the event that should be of interest. Even if you can't attend in person - you'll want to stay tuned on the 14th.
Space is limited, so the event will be invitation only - and only 40 invitations will be available. As most sneaker fans are sick of dealing with long lines and lotteries, invitations will not be issued by random drawing or on a strictly first come, first served basis.
Instead, we're inviting anyone interested to reply to this thread to request an invitation. Preference will be shown for veteran users who've made positive contributions to our community.
If you'd like to attend the event and can plan to be in the San Francisco area on Sunday, February 14th*, just reply to this thread and tell us why you'd like to come. Let us know if you'd like to help out by contributing an item to the charity auction.
To help accommodate those who would like to attend from out of town, please submit all invitation requests by Wednesday, February 3rd.
*(Yes, we know that All Star Sunday takes place on Valentine's Day. The event is scheduled for 3 - 8 PM, so those planning to attend may want to schedule any romantic dinner reservations for later in the evening.)
