Well, actually, there's like three of us - but this one is for Briney on behalf of his wife...dawwwww!

From Susie:

We are planning for December 14 (saturday) here at our house. Computery can start around 7 but if people want to come earlier that is perfectly acceptable, possibly going to play some laser tag before (maybe around 4:30-5) If people have questions they can email me at susanbriney@gmail.com Or if you see any problems with this plan let me know.

Happy birthday, Briney!

I think that coincides with the first day of my vacation, so we'll definitely be there!

Damn youngsters, get off my lawn!

Turned 30 last month and it sucks.

This isn't supposed to be a surprise party you just posted on the forum, right?

And to think after 12 years have passed since those "glory days" we are all still old friends.

We may be turning 30 this year, but at least we couldn't be doing it with a finer group of geeks. Cheers!

So, Briney, what's the breakdown for this weekend?

Title: Re: Looky, Looky, Guess Who's Thirty
Post by b0b on Dec 13^th, 2013 at 8:24am

It looks like we've got a winter weather advisory starting tonight and running through tomorrow night. No idea how that will impact the east side of the state. Any idea what the weather will be like over there?

-b0b
(...snows!)

Hey guys,

The plan is :

to gather/get situated at my house around 4, and then around 5 depart to do some laser tag or golf or whatever. We will come back afterwards for pizza, and some hardcore lannage. Bob do you think you could bring a switch for us to use? We will prolly need cables, but I do have a crimper and a good amount of cat 5.

We are thinking of playing some sanctum 2 maybe... its in the latest humble bundle, so you can grab that for a buck. The usual games will apply tho:

Call of Duty 1
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield Bad company 2
Empire Earth, much later
...and maybe others, if you bring a folder for the rest of the class ;)

I will have the usual snacks and drinks, and there's a taco bell less than a mile for me for our late cravings. If you want a more mature drink, you should prolly bring it since i know nothing of such things :-/

Address:

There is a 2nd driveway that is fenced in that you can park in. It is in front of shed and a white 3 car external garage. Or the main driveway is fine too. There will be a tree lit up next to the driveway.

Give me a ring if you need any other info.

Oh and:

Installing games now!

It looks like Canton will get about 4" of snow tomorrow. Can people on that side of the state drive with snow on the ground? :(

That picture brought a tear to my eye. Man we were so nerdy and awesome.

Looks like we got an inch or 2. They are forecasting another during the day and then maybe another 2 over night. Road looks clear at least.

Bob, I also just remembered that I can have a wii setup downstairs but I don't have much in terms of party games for it. If you wanted to bring a game or 2 and a couple of controllers, that would be wicked. Was thinking of something for the non-computer folk.

Well that weather forecast was a little off. Seems like we got a bit more than 2 inches. I want to sincerely thank everyone who came out and to those that made that epic journey through the ice and snow. Lots of games were played, both electronic and board games! Twas very good times.

Susie made me an epic Borg cube cake!

Thank you very much everyone! ;D

Happy birthday! It was an epic party, and Mere and I had a great time. It was great meeting some of your friends, family, and coworkers.

We left our Wii games and controllers at your place. Make sure you smash Suz into the ground in Mario Kart for me!
