So I'm working on a series of events to get the Zune community a chance to check out our new lineup. If you're in one of those cities, can you drop me an email (contact info after the jump, bottom of the page) or leave a comment?

Dude you need to come to Washington DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in Boston, but I can easily come out to NYC (I'm coming down this weekend, actually). I'd love to do a meetup and check out the new firmware/software.
Oh, and will iLikeMyZune.net be updated to reflect the fact that there's *sniff* no more brown Zune?
How about Atlanta?
Hey Cesar,
Depending on when the event is, I may be able to make it. I live on Long Island (when not at school here at Syracuse).
I live near LA. I sent you an email as well.
I'd be willing to come to one in NYC. Depends on the date though.
I'd definitely love to see the new players in action.
In!
I live in Seattle and just sent you an email. :-)
When would you be up in MN? I could possibly make it up there its only 7 hrs away.
Just sent an email. I live in Minneapolis.
I wish i was near any of em. I live in Michigan though.
I'm about 45 minutes outside of NYC.
I'm in for Seattle! I can't wait to really see what the new Zunes look like.
NYC here. =)
Why not Chicago? It's close enough to Minneapolis, and is a much bigger and better city (I mainly say this because I'm here)
Hello Cesar,
I'm up for the NYC event. Please keep me posted.
The new devices/software looks very cool but I'm already a fanboy!
I'm hoping that we'll see a touch pad plus touch screen version soon.
Are you planning a European launch before the holidays?
I'm in NYC. I'd love to checkout the new stuff.

Why does nothing good happen in houston? come to the dirty third "ya'll"
*Cough*Come to Philadelphia*Cough*
Only one on the east coast?? come on, im from boston, i cant go to new york.
P.S. did you know that youre in europe?(Youre timestamp)
If all goes according to plan, I'll be living in LA as of Dec 1.
Paul from Portland here. I could come up to Seattle for the right event. Watcha got in mind.
I'm in Minneapolis/Saint Paul & shot you an email?
So what's goin' on?
Hey! I am in minneapolis! I want OS x support!
In Trenton, NJ but I will get to the NYC for a chance to see the new lineup.
I don't care I'm in NYC. Sweet. But Cesar if you get bands can you not make it an ALL Rap event like the BBQ events.
Can't wait to see the new Firmware and the new touchpad controls
I'm in New York. It'd be cool to see this thing in the flesh
I'm in New York. I would love to go.

Obligatory "does the new Zune support gapless?" question.
Here's another vote for Chicago. I've taken public transportation (along w/a couple hundred thousand of your target demo) almost every day since the launch and I haven't seen a single Zune there, on the street or anywhere else. I have literally never seen a Zune here in the city -- other than my own.
LA may have us beat when it comes to population, but we have a much higher population _density_. Obviously, this should mean many more eyes on each Zune, especially considering LA's car culture.
Food for thought..
Just that that on10 interview. Syncing it to my Zune now!
BTW, are you gonna be at these events?
I'd LOVE to come to a Zune event.
I live in DC but have friends in NYC so I could make the trip.
Preferably a Friday or weekend though.
I'm always up for a trip to NYC... if I know when in advance.
How about a visit to the SVC for a campus wide love-in?
p.s. allow friends and family to the get together at SVC if you do it..;-)
I'm in NJ but would love to see the new line up for the zune!
Just let me know when and I'll be there :)
Sent email
I could do Seattle. Or maybe L.A. depending on the timing. Looking forward to it!
Harvey (Zunerama)
Come to The Netherlands in Europe!!!! btw, one small question. Can you delete songs, pictures or movies on your zune not connected to a pc with the new firmware?
I'm in NYC. And would go check out the new line-up.
I live in Redmond but work in Seattle. I'd be more than happy to check out the next gen zunes! :)
I'm in LA and I'll be visiting Seattle next week so if the meet up in Seattle happens next week (Thursday), I'm in! Sure would like to get my hands on Zune 2.
sketcha77 (at) aol (dot) com
Any chance of seeing Zune stuff in Detroit? It is not as scary as it used to be! :)
@Jeff
I live in Chicago too and ride the CTA daily. I have seen around a half dozen Zune's or so, more in the last 6 months than after launch. Even had a guy sit next to me one day with one and /gasp the wireless was turned on.
I live in New York, just let me know and I am there.
This is my email:
mrbochin@gmail.com
I can't wait to take a look at the new Zunes,
Cesar keep it up.
c ya
How come I don't see Chicago on that list? Seems like that would be a pretty big city to miss...
Live in Downtown Los Angeles -- I'm definitely up for a community event in LA! Thanks Cesar!
Why don't you come to Milwaukee? I good friend of mine can get us access to the Milwaukee Mile Race track www.milwaukeemile.com . We could take turns driving the Zune Bus around the track. I bet we could get that bad boy up to 70 or 80 MPH. Or we could rent some golf carts and have golf cart races for cool Zune prizes.
If your interested my email is mjk32@msn.com
Depending on the date, I could make it to the L.A. event.
Hey Cesar! I'd love to check out the new lineup in Los Angeles!
I'm in Minneapolis and have some experience with public events.
Email sent.
@AO:
What do you ride? I'm currently on the 8 every day from its first stop in Wrigleyville to the West Loop. I also take the red line from Addison to/from the loop pretty often; sometimes even up to Uptown. Before that, I was on the 22 and/or 36 every day, plus the brown line from Lincoln Park to the Loop. PLENTY of college folk.
Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. :)
I'm live in Jersey but work in NYC so depending on when it is I'd definitely try to be there!
representing LA
Are these events coming soon? I may be able to make a trek across the border and attend the Minneapolis or NYC event (been meaning to take my fiancee shopping in the US ever since the loonie hit even with your dollar). I'll email you my contact info.
Hi Cesar - I just dropped you an email. Am located in the Seattle area and interested in local Zune related events and news.
I live about 20 minutes from Seattle...Does that count Ceaser?
LA area here! PLZ come to my school UCLA!
Cesar - I'm in Los Angeles.
Im in Sandiego, can come to LA. What kinda events are they going to be? Like the Live BBQ ones? Cant wait to get my hands on the new Zune's.
I'm in the Minneapolis metro area, email sent as well...
Lots of folks have asked lots of questions since we announced and I haven't had a chance to answer them
Cesar! Come to Boston!
We have Zunes and could use a meetup here too!
I don't know that I could make it to NYC.
I sent you an e-mail and I can't wait to see the new lineup in L.A.!
Glad you finally showing the twin cities some love. I sent you an email so hit me up.
i'll drive down to the nyc event ..
Would love to attend the event in SEA. Sent you an email last night. Cheers!
I'm in NYC and would love to come. Please let me know when and where. Thanks! Sergei
any idea when this will happen? i'll actually be in mn at the end of next month.....
Minneapolis, LA, NYC, Seattle
Cesar, Acknowledging the obvious that LA and NYC are no brainers and Seattle has the MS connection sorta. What is the thinking for Minn. over Chicago, Boston San Fran. etc.? The reason I ask is I am curious whether there is a demographic component you are trying to corral, or is it based on areas with a high penetration of v1 Zunes?
what would the date be? That's a long drive, but worth it :D
Hi Cesar! Love to join you in Seattle!
Another Seattlite checking in. Also emailed you yesterday.
Houston...come on..you know you want to.
NYC is a bit of a ride but depending on the day and the event I could be convinced to make the trip
I emailed you at AskZune@microsoft.com but have not heard anything back. When do you suppose we will receive an email? Thanks.
I'm in seattle, and i would love to see the new zunes before anyone else! when were you thinking of having this event?
my email is kitty _ the cutie 1 at hotmail dot com
and don't ask about the email address, i made it sooooo long ago. XD i get embarrassed everytime i have to give it out. haha.
Live in Brooklyn, Work in Times Square...
you set up an event, I will be there!
I can't wait to see the new Zune! I've been drooling since I watched the video!
Just sent an e-mail to Cesar.
I'm going to actually be on Campus in Redmond 10/10-10/12 so this works out pefectly.
If you don't get the e-mail mine is shane AT HotWired PC dot COM
I'm in seattle; I'm in! Also sent an email.
I'm in for Minneapolis, if at all possible. E-mail sent. Looking forward to the new Zunes!
I live in Saint Paul. But I can go to Minneapolis if it is really important!!
I'm in Seattle and interested in checking out the new lineup. Current 4G iPod user, but its time to upgrade and the new Zune look like a very good competitor.
You know, the middle of the midwest seems to get no zune love. Not only did we not get any live nation events here in STL (we had live nation concerts, just no Zune bus) apparently the closest event is in Minneapolis which is a bit away for me.
I sent a email. Would love to get a look at the ZUNES!
here is my email again JIGGY_E AT yahoo DOT com
I'm a Des Moines, IA guy, but in MPLS all the time for concerts (pretty much every other weekend). I am at you service: pinty at hotmail dot com. Drop me a line!
Im in NYC, soo??
xmike14x [at] aol.com
Sent an email. In mpls, and would very much like to check out the new zunes.
I'm in Seattle. What's going on?
I'm in LA...although it better not be an 18 or older only event, but I could get an accompaniment to come if thats how it is and I could get in with them.
miller[dot]keny[at]gmail.com

I'm also in Boston, but go to NYC quite frequently. I'd love to attend whatever event you're planning.
I am in LA and would be interested in the event.

I posted earlier Cesar, but I thought I should mention that I leave tomorrow afternoon to go up to Campus so after that me getting e-mail will be somewhat hit and miss.
I'll see if there's a way for me to drop you a note while I'm up on campus as well though.
I live in philly but thats only a short hop away so i would be willing ot go to something in NYC. i think it would be fun to attend alaunch party or something.
I live in New Jersey feel free to hit me up on my email drtarantula [a] gmail dot com I can come into the city at any time as my friend and I do make frequent trips there.
I live in minneapolis

I'm in Saint Paul. But I can be bribed to go to Minneapolis.
I'm in Minneapolis - would love to hear more...
Well. I was on campus and made several attempts to connect with the Zune group only to meet with no response :(
I'm guessing this wasn't a serious offer.
I'd love to meet up in NYC...
I'm interested i'm in LA
