The only thing I think I might regret about this is the location. ;) It's bad enough that you all know where I'll be working soon...:p
Anyways, on super short notice, we're going to have a quick mid LAN gathering at my house on Monday, Labor Day, Sept 6. This will be a PC garage sale as well as a mid LAN. I've got a tiny little electric bbq we will fire up, but this is a bring your own meat sort of thing. I think BLE could supply a few necessary condiments like buns and some fixins, but that's about it. All I've got in my freezer right now is garden burgers...so if you want meat, you'd better bring it. ;)
The Garage Sale/Swap meet will take place as it's going on. If the weather is nice (oh please oh please) then I'll set up a couple tables outside and you can place your items there - be sure to mark them as yours and put your price on them - for barganing with everyone. Hopefully we'll get a decent turnout and have some cool stuff. :rup:
Starting time is 5 pm - please don't come any earlier. :) My house is located at 2315 C street near downtown just off of cornwall...but I have never been able to come up with a good set of directions, so just type that addy in at www.mapquest.com or something. :D
Hope to see you here with lots of goods at discount prices! :woot:

Oh yeah, this will be a buy/sell/swap style event. If you want to get rid of something then come on down! If you're looking to acquire some things then come on down! If you're looking to lose something in return for gaining something else then come on down!
BLE will not do any regulating of this or anything...all just between the parties involved with each transaction.
Also, thanks to Laughin Jack for the idea to do this! :woot:
Bring anything that you think other gamers around here will be interested in - I think Excessive has some cool books or something. Please don't bring really large items though, and don't bring your pile of stuff in your garage either...bring some of it, but don't bring a ton of stuff. We'll be doing this again if this turns out well. ;) But I don't want a yard or a house full of junk for a night and have a bunch "accidentally" left over or anything. Keep it reasonable. :)

I don't suppose anyone could bring a TV? Might be fun to get a little Mario Kart action going. ;)
Ender

Two tvs actually would be kinda cool...we've got a gamecube and an xbox these days. I'd be up for some Soul Calibur 2, Crimson Skies :woot:, and maybe even a little halo. ;)
And jack, yeah we've got the shirts, though I think we're out of the XL's and only have one or two Larges. :( Next order will have more of those for sure. :rup: Also I don't know about the stickers yet - echo was doing that and haven't heard from him in a while about it.

Would it be cool if I brought some old Xbox games to sell?
Verbal

I'm going to be bringing like a thousand little cables and stuff, so if anyone needs anything like that... :)
Also, Superdude, I have a cpu temp sensor I'm bringing if you want to try that one in your system and see if yours is good or not.

Oh yeah btw - This event isn't going to go into the night due to the fact that most of us have work in the morning tomorrow. Plan on being done around 7-8 pm. :)
Verbal
09-06-2004, 12:44 PM
7-8 is too late for me... I'll be leaving around 5:45 or 6. I have a curfew. :stare:

Hmmm. Well I wont be driving down there anyway. But If I did I would probly buy it, turn off all the routing functions and wind up with a free switch. Or use it to extend my wireless network. But since I am selling my laptop, I have no use for my wireless network anyway. Guess I'll just leave it up and let some assholes try to break my encryption. :moon:
