Phara-CON

We are closing in on the LAN Party tomorrow the attendance list has jumped up to 6 people total at the LAN, which is not too shabby! I have spammed out the directions and what to bring so check your boxes people! Hit the read more for more information,

So I took two days off work to get ready for the LAN Party and what was the first thing I did? Yard work, and lots of it. But while I was neck deep in pine needles and weeds the postman dropped something off at my front door. Running like a girl to check it out, I found our beloved sponsers have delivered in spades.

BEHOLD THE SCHWAG!

You better be on time to the LAN as it is hard not to pound down all those lovely bottles of Bawls and build forts out of the magazines!

So the LAN is nearing as the weekend approaches. I have been furiously going back across all my postings on the internet on the various forums and places I have posted about the LAN. Also thanks to the back end of my webserver I can also track to see which websites and adverts are working the best for me and concentrate on them for the next one. Here is a nice graph:

I also have to decide within the next few days one of the hardest question of them all, which ice chest to buy! Do I want one with wheels or should I get the traditional one, maybe a round one? Planning a LAN is tough! Also please sign up as if I do not hit a minimum amount of people I will move the LAN Party into my house. I just hope we do not get a bunch of people showing up with no place to put them or not enough power to frag because of the move from the garage to the LAN room!

I will be doing an email to everyone to remind them about the LAN party on Weds along with a cool lit of things to bring. So check your emails on Thursday for more information.

I went to HAL-PC and got to meet some very interesting people last Saturday night. I found the group oddly on meetup.com and decided to spread the word about my LAN Party there. Hit the read more to find out what it was like.

So Bawls has been nice enough to sponsor the LAN, so a nice 12 pack and assorted goodies are winging their way to the house. Which means even more fun at the LAN! I might even go so far as too say that I indeed "bounce" with Bawls.

No I will not go that far, but I will say Bawls is the best damn energy drink ever invented, as it also has the bonus of being great to drink cold or warm, except for that time in Victorville when my head almost exploded because it was 110 at the LAN and I stupidly drank 4 Bawls back to back. So please drink responsibly as you do not want to be the guy clutching your head and screaming for aspirin.

But because I have been avoiding soda for the past few weeks one of these should set me off for the night and give me crazed blood-thirsty sniper skill for the night. First 12 people in the door get a free bottle!
