The Gizmodo reader meetup find on Saturday at Alpine Meadows and we had a groovy time . The blow was lenient , the gadgets were plentiful , the beer flowed and no one fell on their head except Joe , who got a contraband eye when he present planted on the first run . The photos above were uploaded on Nokia N95s to a central contribution . I did n’t upload many , but I did spend most of my day fiddling with a Zune preloaded with call to cod to .
Most people were from around the bay area , Reno and Tahoe area , but Christian come all the way from Dallas . And Mike Zhao , only 16 , spent I think his milk money to afford the trip . And then Randy , ski patrol at Alpine , gave us a pretty good tour of the place . About 50 masses amount in total everyone was the type of person I ’d cling out with outside of work . I ’d always said that gadgets are n’t just for nerd , and here was the proof .
Of naturally , special thanks go to Kevin from JBL , Brian from Zune , Joe from Nokia , Mike from Olympus , Derek from SPOT , Greg from Smith Optics , Racheal from Alpine and Hagen from Vudu for giving away prizes .
We ’ll do it again next year ! If you came and ingest photos , send em over so I can upload em .
P.S. Brian from Zune has some skills on the snowboard !
