The holidays are approaching and that means it's time for Kotaku's annual Denver fundraiser.

This year we will be taking over Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in downtown Denver for hours of giveaways, Rock Band and fun, all for a good cause: Child's Play.

The event will be on Nov. 19, probably starting around 7 p.m., but I'm open to suggestions. I'll be meeting with the owner on Thursday to pay for the space, but I'm told they're already reserving it for us.

More details to come, but I will be, once more, giving away a mountain of swag as door prizes. I also plan to do a silent auction this year.

Last year's venue, The Mercury Cafe, had a capacity of 300, which we quickly filled, raising $4,000. This year's venue has two floors, balconies and a capacity of about 500. Let's see if we can pack them in again this year.

So if you want to show up to play Rock Band 2, The Beatles: Rock Band (maybe even DJ Hero) for a good cause mark November 19 in your calendar.

Keep your eye out for pictures of some of the stuff we will be giving away and auctioning off.
