I'm gonna post this to bungie.net as soon as some technical difficulties are ironed out. In the meantime, if you're going to the Launch Party or know someone who plans to go, consider the following:
The number of people who'd RSVPed for the party was a wholly manageable number until last night, when it exploded. At this point way more people have RSVPed than we have room for. We don't want to turn anyone away, but this event has become at least three times as big as we ever expected it to be and we need to do something to manage the crowd.
We're building a list of attendees in order of when they RSVPed. (Thus Tom Van Sinden, the very first person to RSVP, is assured a spot.) I'll be contacting people who didn't leave names, or had some other weirdness associated with their name (i.e. "I will definitely come but I might bring 27 friends, or possibly just six" and that sort of thing). The first 250 people who responded will get priority; people who responded after that first batch will be admitted as circumstances allow. People who didn't RSVP at all attend at their own risk; we may not be able to accomodate you. I'll try to contact everyone who responded to let them know whether they're in the lucky first batch, so watch your email.
