Gen Con SoCal 2004 - Days 5 and 6

Not much to say about days 5 and 6 (also known as “Friday” and “Saturday”). These are the biggest days at the convention, and everything went smoothly. It’s hard to gauge numbers, but the halls seemed full, and there were always several people in line, but never a huge line, which is good, because it indicates a steadly flow of moderate traffic, and our system handled it flawlessly.

Since things have been going so smoothly, I’ve spent the bulk of the last two days in the game lan playing World of Warcraft. I made fun of CJ for staying up all night playing it before he went to the airport after only getting an hour of sleep, but I can identify with that now. I stayed up until 5am playing last night, and observant readers will notice the timestamp on this entry is pretty late (early?) as well.

Anyways, tomorrow is the last day of the convention, and more stuff will be going on as a result. The game lan goes to free play at noon, which is good, because that will ensure that all of us are actually working and helping to break things down. Prior experience says that they’ll start breaking stuff down as early as they can after registration actually closes, and we’ll have a quick flurry of activity with the server and the regsystem, followed by an hour or two of downtime before the Dead Dog party - which will be strange this time, since nearly everyone is flying home Sunday night to be home for work on Monday, so most people won’t be around for the party.

Oh well. Jeff and I don’t fly out until monday, so I’ll be able to have a few drinks and relax, and then try to amuse myself in the hotel room with my laptop and try not to fiend for WoW too badly.

    Yo, ratface.

    Steve. If that really is your name. Listen up. I may not know much about the fancy PHP, or RTSKLM, or AMTNSA, or whatever it is you use on your webpage. What I do know is, I’M a space ninja. NOT you. On top of that, I’m a giant space ninja. Can you handle that? I don’t think you can. But this isn’t an issue of whether you want one or several peices of me (which I’m very sure you do–WAIT IN LINE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.), the question is whether you are a space ninja or not. And you most assuredly are NOT. No matter how much you might tell yourself that when you look at your face in your mirror every morning. Which is pretty sexy by the way. Call me! <3

    PS. What’s with your damn logo anyways? That is a communist alien. Communist aliens and space ninja do not mix. Well they did once, but all I got out of it was a lukewarm basket of cheese fries. I don’t think I’d do it again. BUT I DIGRESS.

    Well, you sexy bastard, I gotta go save a baby or some bullshit. In the meantime, you can do your part for humanity by NOT BEING SUCH A FUCKING FRAUD, FRAUDFACE.

    You can rest assured I will report this situation to the proper authorities. Identity theft is a serious issue, you know. :(

    Love,
    the real space ninja

    Way to go.

    You not only posted your little flame to the wrong person (this is SCOTT, not Steve), but you also typed the URL to your livejournal wrong.

    Bravo.

    Scott! WoW is so crack! What server are you on? I’m playing on Cenarius with some friends (or something like that) as both alliance and horde, but I’ll totally play on another server with you. Email me and lets kick some gnoll ass!

  4. the real space ninja Says:

    Hey man. Whoa. Whoa. First off, it was not a flame.

    WHAT KIND OF PERSON DO YOU THINK I AM?!

    I don’t CARE if you get angry.

    Notice how I said “if that really is your name,” thus sheilding my self from any sort of NAME-BASED rebuttal.

    I got the URL to my live journal wrong?? ME?! Perhaps you’re just receiving the URL wrong in your personal reality bubble! MAYBE LiveJournal has it wrong! You’re jumping to conclusions too quickly, STEVE. And since you can’t ACCEPT IT, you’re not even GETTING my URL this time.

    Anyways, I’m off. Enjoy boiling in your own personal VAT of MEDIOCRITY.

    You’re the sexiest! <3

  5. Scott Says:

    Heh. Now I’m strongly reconsidering renaming this blog to “VAT of MEDIOCRITY”.
