Hey LA: come see Bit.Trip devs Gaijin at Giant Robot June 14th

Tomorrow I'll be headed out for week at the yearly-roman-orgy-of-videogames that is E3, and while it's not quite the indie tour-de-force of GDC, there will be a good enough number in town to make for some interesting times.

Case in point: before the expo properly begins, games-culture shop Attract Mode, Giant Robot and upstart non-profit LA Game Space will be partnering to do a free, public live event with Gaijin Games, creators of yesterday's top recommended game, Bit.Trip Runner.

The Bit.Trippers will be having their games projected onto Giant Robot's GR2 building itself — as all games should be — and GR.eats (their accompanying restaurant) will be offering a special Bit.Trip menu, as well.

So, you should come out! It's probably going to be pretty amazing. It'll all be taking place Monday, June 14th, from 7:30-10pm at GR2, 2062 Sawtelle Blvd, and will mark the first of a new bi-monthly series of similar 'Game Night's.

More information is available via Attract Mode and Gaijin Games. See you there!
