Xbox Live Holding Gears 2 Map Pack Preview Event in Seattle

We know about the big content update for Gears of War 2 coming in July, but some lucky Washington residents will get a chance to see it as early as next week. The company announced today that Xbox Live will be hosting a special "First to Play" event for the pack next Friday, May 15 at the Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle.
