nintendo girlfriends guide to gaming

March 18, 2009 | Nintendo, amazing things, bloggers

This past Saturday at a big loft in the West Loop, Jenn and I hosted a party.

A Nintendo DS party called Girlfriend’s Guide to Gaming. We invited a bunch of Chicago ladies (and an our of towner!) to game it up. We had yummy food, stocked bar, dessert, video games and great company.

Our lovely guests played Brain Age 2, Crosswords, Guitar Hero, and Mario Kart, collecting charms for our pretty, shiny, Nintendo bracelets at each game station. Guitar Hero seemed to be a huge favorite.

I spent most of my time mingling and talking rather than gaming but trust me, I’m killer at Mario Kart. (such an unflattering photo, I hate pictures!)

At the end of the night if you got all four of your charms, you got to take home a brand new DS and a copy of Brain Age 2.

Sweet deal, isn’t it?

Moral of the story: when Nintendo and Brand About Town email you asking if you want to be a Brand Enthusiast, always say yes.

More photos can be found here on Flickr.

Well, if the whole blogging thing doesn’t work out, you can always have a career as a shampoo model. You have the prettiest, shiniest hair EVER!

I’m a bit late since I’m just catching up after a little vacation to California, but I had a blast at the event, and all of these photos are absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to start my community photography class in April so I can start taking a few cool pictures of my own!
