The XNA Team has just announced that they are going to throw a little shindig up at Microsoft to celebrated the official launch of XNA Game Studio Express and the Creator's club. Sounds like it should be a great time. I'm crossing my fingers that my car can make that drive!
If you're in the Seattle/Redmond area (or are willing to make the trip) go on over and check it out. Should be a fun geeky time.
December 11th just can't come soon enough!
