E3 Expo Space Sells Out

Voodoo Extreme has the word that the E3 show space has already sold out in anticipation of what is likely to be a momentous expo, "...with a show floor the size of 2,700 city blocks, an unparalleled business conference program, and more than 400 exhibitors from 87 countries."

Re:2700 city blocks?

Literally? Not just figuratively or metaphorically not believing that?

But you're right, that number is completely off. It's inside the L.A. Convention Center which boasts 770,000 square feet of exhbition space. They're off by a factor of 100, it's only .027 square miles (.0276, which would actually round to .028.)

So, I guess this means when we get hype from the industry, we should divide by 100?

Anyway, this is big news, in case you hadn't picked up from the implication, because they haven't sold out E3 for quite some time now. There have been huge empty exhibition areas there for the last 3 years.

E3 is great

Paid day off to get drunk and wander around downtown LA topped off with a party with free booze at the company's expense a few blocks away later that evening. I guess they have some video games too or something.
