It is with a smile on my face that I say this as an El33tonline columnist - 2upGamers monthly events are a pleasure to report on. Not only do I have fun at every single event, not only is there always an awesome line-up of guests, as well as an awesome list of announcements each and every time, but I get to meet new people and connect with good friends, and I’m quite confident that this is an opinion shared by many who have attended. In fact, of the friends I convince to come along with me, I don’t even have to ask them to come to the next one as they end up registering before me!
To date, Glenn Alexander and the team at 2upGamers have successfully run three amazing events for the gamers of Cape Town, complete with interesting guest speakers, food, drink and some of the latest games to play.
As 2upGamers has expanded so rapidly, the team was in need of a suitable location to host their gatherings with enough room for over 100 people to move, eat and chat (with room for swinging arms and legs to avoid damage during dance games, too).
Beginning with the Second Wave event in November, Cape Town-based digital design studio Friends of Design came to the rescue by volunteering its campus space to host these get-togethers, and thanks to them, Cape Town gamers have reaped the benefits of 2upGamers’ hard work and have been able to enjoy two additional highly successful gaming gatherings following the inaugural event in October.
Who or what is Friends of Design? Let’s have a look.
After two incredibly successful events held in November and December last year, Glenn Alexander and his team at 2upGamers once again hosted a brilliant gaming evening this past week in Cape Town, filled to the brim with games, interesting guest speakers, prizes, food, drink and, most importantly, friends.
The Third Encounter was an absolute blast!
Tickets for 2upGamers Second Wave event in Cape Town were snapped up so quickly you may have missed out on the opportunity to meet up with gamers from around the city. Over 90 gamers, almost double that of the debut event, headed to the venue located in the heart of the city, with some eager gamers arriving as early as one hour before the event opened.
