Earlier this week, I went to a charity auction/dinner in San Francisco sponsored by the Entertainment Software Association. Called "Nite to Unite for Kids", this event is the gaming industry's biggest annual gala/fundraising effort. All the leading executives from the world's largest gaming companies attend. I saw the top dogs from Nintendo, Sony, Atari and so on. George Lucas received an award, which was presented by Hayden Christensen. As my friend Mark said, "It's nice to see the guy finally getting some recognition."
Anyway, what's really important is that there was a silent auction. Look what I won: a giant Iron Maiden action figure!
Fun note: I outbid Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Day of the Tentacle, etc.) and took home the prize. Sorry, Tim!
Other items up for auction were a lot cooler (and more expensive) than a giant Eddie action figure. A PSP signed by Gwen Stefani, a Star Wars book signed by George Lucas and a Hello Kitty gift pack. Wow!
