Well folks, the days are quickly slipping away, and our first LAN Party is swiftly approaching!!! :D YAY! We have all the network hardware in order. The soda, bawls, and snacks will be purchased on Friday. Getting some of the last prizes together. You can look forward to the awesome art print posted below, a case of Bawls, a $50 Gift Certificate to a local computer parts shop, as well as a large selection of Comic Books! :D Woot!
Can't wait to see you all at the event on THIS SATURDAY! :)
Also, friend us on facebook, and follow us on twitter for all the updates you can handle! Also, it helps us guage the response to our marketing materials so we don't feel like we're just throwing our hard earned dollars into a dark void.

Wow! I just spent the last 8 hours distributing posters around the entire city, and didn't even put a dent in it! Will have to go out again tonight & tomorrow with more help than just myself to target the many street poles of the city.
To all the many wonderful shop owners of LITERALLY EVERY Comic, Game, and Dice shop in the GREATER PORTLAND AREA: Thank you for being so friendly, courteous, and open-minded to the concept that Geeks and Gamers are multi-faceted, well-rounded, individuals with interests that range from Dungeons & Dragons to Quake3! ....except for Other World Games, who would neither give me the time of day, or tolerate the presence of a *gasp* ..."videeeoooo gamer" in his store. Such derisive behavior isn't good for the collective geek-chic community, and is worthy of my scorn. Good day sir!

Well, life has been crazy! But nevertheless, the plans continue! Posters for our event go into production today, so those will be hung around the city on Thursday or Friday evening. Got LAN-PLAY on Twitter, so you folks can follow us there. Also have a picture of the first awesome prize that one luck participant will win!
