Hi all

A couple weeks ago I figured we should probably do something to celebrate Fark's upcoming 10th Anniversary, so I posted a quick link about having a get-together in downtown Lexington. I figured we'd get like 10 people. So far we've got over 150 people caravanning in from all over the place. That's gonna be too big for The Chase, will keep you posted on the new venue. We'll figure it out. Date and time will not be changing.

A lot of folks mentioned that they couldn't make it to Lex on "short notice" (five weeks?), but that's cool. As luck would have it I have to be out on the Left Coast quite a bit over the next couple of weeks, so let's have a few more 10th Anniversary Fark Parties while we're at it. Some are nailed down, some not so much.

In stone:
Jan 25th 1pm: Las Vegas NV, The Freakin Frog Facebook link
Feb 2nd 7pm: Vancouver BC, Toby's Pub Facebook link

In planning:
Feb 5th TBA: Pasadena, CA, TBA
Feb 8th TBA: Bay Area Somewheres, CA, TBA
Feb 13th 6pm: Lexington, KY, TBA
Feb 20th/21st: Washington DC, TBA -> still in early planning stages

There's also an outside chance of something in Seattle the weekend of Jan 30th

Much farther out we have:
Mar 16th: Austin, TX, TBA -> attending SXSW
Apr 17th: Cleveland OH, TBA -> attending Notacon

No dates yet but coming:
Chicago, IL
Charleston, SC
United Kingdom

If you have a Facebook account could you please confirm attendance? We're guestimating size based on how many confirm from there.

FARK was so much better when it was underground, back when you could only get new headlines by buying tapes out of the trunk of the guy's car.

God dammit Fark....I'll be in DC during the LA Fark party, then will have moved to LA by the time the DC Fark party hits. Why do you hate me?

Missed the last two DC Fark parties due to unforeseen (retarded) circumstances.

For someone who's been reading Fark for nearly the entirety of it's existance, I sure am a n00b. I've never been to a Fark party and don't know what to expect. Can anybody fill be in as to what has transpired at past parties? If it's a lan party I'm going to be very upset. ;)
