Title: New Year's LAN
Post by b0b on Dec 21st, 2008 at 9:47pm
Are we doing it?

The New Year's LAN has been a Geek Crew tradition for years, and I vote that we continue the tradition!

Whoever wins the LAN will be the official recipient of their very own James R. Rogers AARP card!  How is that for an incentive?

So when and where?  I'd be willing to host it again if need be.

Wednesday evening, 7:00pm?

I can host, too.  Doesn't matter to me.

I've caught a flu bug but I'm getting over it right now.  I was feeling good enough to come to work today but took the day off yesterday.  I would hate to spread the sickness around but would love to go to the LAN.  Start a new poll thread and vote if you want me there. :)

Post by b0b on Dec 31st, 2008 at 1:03pm
You should come to the LAN, but only if you vote for me!  (I'm starting to sound like an Illinois politician!)

Benefits of coming to my house:

  • No stairs!
  • Park 15 feet away instead of 4,316 feet away!
  • Furniture!
  • b0b doesn't have to move his computer!
  • Free pop & junk food from Christmas!


I'll even throw in a free Steam copy of Earth 2160 for everyone that shows up!

Sorry guys, I know everyone uses the "My grandpa was in the hospital" excuse but his condition got worse on new years eve.  I was able to see him and it was very eye opening to witness his condition.  Originally his procedure was a quadruple bypass which was a success. Post operation he developed a severe ulcer that went undetected with a combination of blood thinning medicine.  His life was saved on new years eve.  

The word right now is that he is doing better so I hope everything is on the up and up.

Grandpa's Little Buddy.

I'm glad to hear his condition is improving.  I'll be sure to keep him in my prayers.

Now it is Pat's turn to come up with an equally touching excuse for skipping out on the LAN.  That's a hard act to follow!

Pat drank way to much Captain Morgan and threw up on the sofa.

(....there you go Patsy...completely believable.)

Pat doesn't have a sofa.

That...and "NO PANTS" rule is in play most of the time.

I'll make sure you have no pants on sir.

Mostly because if I ever saw your ghostly image hovering over me with no pants on I'd have to end my life.
