In addition, Fark's own Steph the Geek (ayesha999) will also be there and presenting. A lot of other Farkers are either helping out or attending.

It should be a good event, since we're building a good speaker list (including Drew), have some fun games and events going on and, well, the whole thing *is* about communities and technology.

Very cool. Congrats on sticking with this.
 
2005-02-17 02:51:18 PM
Sweet! That's about a 15 minute walk from where I am now.

Make sure you prepare the obligatory hot tub and 3 chubbies.
 
2005-02-17 03:26:58 PM
Thanks, we're still looking for a few more presenters, too, so if you know of anyone who might be a good speaker, have them submit a proposal. They'll be among some pretty good company.

I even convince them to keep the bar open as late as they're legally allowed to. This year I'd love to blow every record they have. Heh.

Cleveland huh?? But some of us wouldn't be caught dead in Cleveland! :)

How far is it from Bloomington, Ind to Cleveland?

/is Drew buying? I gotta pay rent.
 
2005-02-18 01:48:15 AM
Rock 'n roll! Hello Cleveland! Hello Cleveland!!!

You total-farkers are awfully self-indulgent, donchyathink?

It's like the Nazis writing propoganda stories about themselves.

/not really

Storm Curtis?
 
2005-02-18 02:09:48 AM
Very cool. Figures I'll be overseas and unable to attend. Good luck Froggy and Drew.

BTW, 6 hours from Bloomington to C-Town. I went to school there.

loud howard

I thought the same thing till I realised that Drew might draw four times the crowd. Maybe.

Drew, buddy, just talk me up. That's all I ask.
 
2005-02-18 02:35:25 AM
If that's not enough to convince you to attend--I might just stand outside the building and if you say hello on your way in I'll shake your hand! And maybe beg for some change. Being poor rules.

*yawn*

Everyone's an expert.

*yawn*
 
2005-02-18 02:45:07 AM
Notacon=not otacon? That could be a number of things, psycho mantis, liquid snake, solid snake, hell, even that silly raiden guy.

/will probably try to lure hot farkettes back to his place 10 minutes from the convention
 
2005-02-18 02:50:47 AM
Gimme a shoutout Drew! (even though we don't know each other)
 
2005-02-18 02:52:33 AM
so is this like a fark party cuz it's pretty close to kent and might be worth showing up at?
 
2005-02-18 02:53:20 AM
pretty close to cleve, live in kent... grrr i'm dumb... but an expert at it so i can speak
 
2005-02-18 03:08:39 AM
Holy sh*t, Froggy, I thought you were dead.

I still have that sticker you gave me at the first Lexington Fark Party in 2001.

So, uh, hey there.
 
2005-02-18 03:16:02 AM
Nice, I'll try to make it down the hill. So, the bar is at/inside this place?
 
2005-02-18 03:43:37 AM
And to think, all of this came from a just a magical pair of squirrel nuts. Life's funny sometimes, aint it?

/You go Drew!
 
2005-02-18 06:20:39 AM
Drew is speaking about the "fark backend"?

I think it'll turn out like that travolta interview.

/when fark crashes I get a little anal
 
2005-02-18 06:48:19 AM
In other news, Drew was just on CNN this morning, and there was nary a mention on Fark... Perhaps he spilled beer on his pr guy.
 
2005-02-18 08:28:05 AM
I'm really cheesed that I'm going to miss notacon this year. Last year's was one of the few occasions that pacified my distaste for living in Cleveland, but I found out the dates this year literally right after I bought non-refundable plane tickets. I really recommend it to anyone who enjoys music, digital artistry, or general geekery.

Oh, BTW, if you're a fervent nationalist airline pilot, either find another hotel this year or threaten our friends again on penalty of having your nads caved in.

Cyberpunk:
Yeah, I'm still alive. Obviously attempting to keep myself busy.

Nug: Interested in attending?
 
2005-02-18 09:10:54 AM
Froggy-

I'm interested in presenting. Check your e-mail.

Bring on the hackers! Too bad its kinda of a watered down version of Rubicon. Which was never that good to begin with.
 
2005-02-18 09:57:55 AM
Note to self:

All Cleveland area liquor stores & hookers to be sold out April 8-10.

There's a bar called the Harbor Inn which is not to far from the hotel & would make a nice place for a Fark gathering.
 
2005-02-18 10:53:24 AM
w00t! I'm so excited. I actually haven't met Drew yet either.
 
2005-02-18 11:33:04 AM
I'll be moving back to Cleveland in the end of March. I'd go if I knew what the hell this Notacon thing was.
 
2005-02-18 11:47:57 AM
Or there could be a meetup in the Hotel bar, which is not huge, but not too shabby. Since us organizer types really won't be able to leave during the Con, but can hang out in the bar where applicable.
 
2005-02-18 11:50:12 AM
Froggy:

have some fun games and events going on and
Better be some drinking games with this crowd.

Patterns in the Media and the Fark backend

Patterns like a wicker chair
Leaves upon a derriere?
Or perhaps it isn't patterns
Maybe what was meant was slatterns.
 
2005-02-18 12:47:30 PM
Sounds like fun. Honestly, though, I'd rather burn to death than step foot in that shiat-hole city again.
 
2005-02-18 01:17:27 PM
Everyone's insulting Cleveland... Obviously they've never been to Akron, Toledo, or Youngstown....
 
2005-02-18 02:28:39 PM
*shudders*

Youngstown. Now there's the city that God forgot.
 
2005-02-18 04:39:53 PM
Cool. I'll be there.
 
2005-02-18 04:55:27 PM
No Taco Con sounds interesting. Why mention the tacos if there are no tacos?
 
2005-02-18 07:06:03 PM
Mmm... tacos

"You may have survived... Cleveland."

/moved away from Cleveland, hated the rest of the world, moved back
//wonders if TotalFark can be acquired with beer instead of money
 
2005-02-19 02:10:33 AM
Actually, I talked with Drew, and we are going to have a couple of Totalfark accounts as prizes for some of our events.
