Gaming LA: Party in Gamer Gear!

10/19/2011 Edition:

Join the IGDA-LA for the Leadership Forum party, check out the Writers Guild, and wear your best gamer gear while you rub-elbows with Hollywood Celebrities in Downtown LA!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gamers love to show-off their favorite games. This week is "Fashion Week" in LA; so, here are a few sites that offer gaming - themed - clothing and accessories that rock. You can show-off your wonderful gamer clothes at the many parties and events going on all over downtown LA.

Hopefully, we'll see more and better gamer gear hit the market as gaming becomes a bigger part of the entertainment scene and "geeks" become more mainstream. If anyone knows of any good designers who make (or want to make) female gamer/geek clothing or accessories, please let me know! (Email: brandii@igda.org)
