I remember watching The Gamers at our second Gameday, about two years ago. If Rel allows us the use of his TV and DVD, then I would say definitely bring it, because there's a lot of people coming to this Gameday who HASN'T seen it, and I always get a chuckle out of a couple of parts every time I see them...

Downtime & Updates

Sorry about the downtime today folks. It appears that my vigilance in backing things up caused the disk to fill on dhorizon.org. Actually, the real issue was I had backups in a directory (from when I was moving things around) that were being backed up nightly. This caused an rapidly escalating fill of 10 Gig of space. Follow all that? Heh, it's ok, it's fixed, that's all you guys need to worry about.

Also wanted to make sure you guys noticed that there were several RPGs (and other events) added over the last week or so. They all look interesting, and could use some pre-registrations. I know most of you have a full schedule, but you may want to look again and make sure you don't want to switch . Also, tell your friends, there's still more space, so come join us!

Alrighty, I'll leave it up to our Master of Ceremonies then. With his blessing, I'll bring it. It runs 47 minutes, I just looked it up. This is all pending that I get clearance to go to the BBQ from the redheaded authority that rules my household with an iron grip. Did I mention she owns a 7' boar spear?? No, really, she does. We use to go to SCA events all the time. Even with my hand-and-a-half sword outstretched all the way she'd still impale me before I got a nick on her.

Things one thinks about whence in the doghouse..

I work down the street from Ole Time BBQ so I'm guessing I'm not too distant from you, Rel. If that's the case, at the very least I'll drop the movie by if y'all want to see it.

It's fine by me to have a viewing of the Gamers. I actually own it but haven't been able to find it lately. If it turns out that the redhead puts the kibosh on your attendance, Dremmen, I've got a friend who lives right across the street who owns it too. I don't actually live as close to Ole Time as you might think (it takes a good 15-20 minutes to get there though it is SO worth the drive).

So we'll add that to our list of events.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"No, what?"
"Your paralyzing fear of water?"
"AAAAAAAAAAIIIIiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhh!" *thud*

Also

"I want to steal his pants!"

"Yuuuu Bastuuurds!"

"The Shadow."
"The Shadow!"

Past that, let's not ruin it for people.

Well, folks, all this BBQ talk got to me and I accidentally stopped by Ole Time today and got me a PDQ. I'm now happily stuffed with barbecue, slaw, snap beans and hush puppies. Good stuff!

By my estimate, three people could share one of these things and get a very decent sized plate of food out of the bargain. For $10.75 with tax that's not a bad deal. Add in some beer and potato chips (sold separately), and I think that would just about do it for me. I'll nail down specific orders for food sometime next week (probably Wednesday).

It's gonna be good eatin'!

15-20 minutes from where you live? Wow, that's a heck of an accident.

My thought (can't believe I'm planning dinner a week away!) is I would like to split one of those PDQ's with someone else (or two someone elses), and pony up for an extra hot dog and even a hamburger - basically smorgasbord. When time comes I'll probably have you put me down for one, and I'll work it out with someone else there.
