[UPDATE - Mon 24th, 5pm - entries for the raffle are now closed - I'll be drawing the names and informing folks who won in the next hour...! Thanks to everyone who mailed me - especially those who were willing to fly in from abroad on the off-chance of meeting RDA... :) ]  

Calling all Halo3 fans! I have managed to get my hands on a couple of tickets for the Dublin Halo3 launch party on Tuesday (25th September) for readers of MSDN Ireland news. If you will be around Dublin on Tuesday evening and would like to come along just email me at claredil@microsoft.com with "Halo3 Launch - yes please!" in the subject line and I'll do a little raffle for them. I'll notify winners tomorrow (Monday) evening. Hopefully, see you there! :)

Unfortunately, I should mention that, it has not been confirmed that (my hero) Richard Dean Anderson will actually be at the launch party. I believe he is doing press interviews all day but there is only the slightest chance he might make it to the party afterwards... but here's hoping!!! Anyhow, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up prematurely on that account!

BTW, you have to be over 18 to come along (last time I got a couple of requests for people's kids and had to disappoint them...). And I will be doing a check for duplicate entries, and deleting them - so please only mail me once! Thanks!
