AW SNAP! FRAGA MINECRAFT SERVER!
There was 1 last year... but I would more suggest Tom make his available to run as a VM and then I can "host" it locally at Frag :P or he just leaves it running during Frag and we use it then.
Schweet
Registration is open baby!
If anyone wants to split a room let me know as I will be booking in the next couple of days...
Also, since going on the CPAP machine, I don't snore anymore, so there's that.

Don't worry, I'm sure I can make up for at least some of the snoring.
lol x2
Room has been reserved
BAM
Now all I have to do is wait. And maybe start playing TF2 again (so rusty)
I can't even think about going this year because of the new job, o well.

That is a shame :C
Next year though man!
Melbosa posted this earlier today on FB but is there anyone else coming who hasn't registered yet?
I guess they need to know numbers for wiring and prizes and crap.
Ahhh yes the joys of running a non-profit $0 event with no cash sponsorship. Numbers matter so we know what we can afford. Frag is getting leaner and leaner on budget every day.

Yep, well hopefully we see a rush of people sooner than later, but Fraga light isn't so bad either.
I love the venue but I think being closer to a hotel or mass transit would shore up numbers.
Either that or host CS:S tournaments again *shudder* (j/k of course)

Or one attendee could become an MMA fighter to make up for the down-budgeted funds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvPqAWjkliQ)...

To be the "guy who offers the perfect inspiring words just at the moment when the heroic figure is about to give up", sure!
I'll do the accounting for you, if you do the fighting?
We need a hero, a masked hero, an, ERADICATOR!

^ at least you aren't as negligent (if not malicious!) as Mr. Analog -- what's the deal, bro, linking to that vid and NOT including a "KITH" warning for those whose brains are not as full of useless popculture/trivia as me or you? You may have just cost somebody's employer an hour or two of productivity... Did it... "slip [your] mind"?

I tell you what, let's have dinner tonight, Pesto's at 8, I'll bring the video, I'll bring The Godfather. You know that Paul Simon album you've been wanting me to tape? I'll tape it and bring that too AND dinner's on me.
...
will do
There is a guy on Facebook who is taking orders for Bawls, if anyone is interested.
FYI I just opened Seating for Paid Registrants. Reserve your seat now!
I saw the email just now. Mr A, got any preferences on where to sit?
I picked Row 1 Seat 3
Circular tables is best tables!
AWWWWWWW YEAH!
Gettin' stoked now!! Can't believe it's gonna be next week already. I guess I better clean out the dust from my gaming rig and find my spare cables n' junk
I'll be out of town until Tuesday next week, when are the doors open for Registration? Is Wednesday going to be open this year?
Sooo Fraga. How's everyone getting there?
Well I'm on site as I'm staff so I'm going to be there all day tomorrow for setup and there at 8AM on Thursday. I'll be driving.
Ah, cool.
I'm thinking I might take a cab. Could share with Mr. A if he also needs a lift.
If anyone is able and willing to pick me up for frag, that would be awesome too. It's going to be such a pain. working today, which makes it a pain to get to the store to pick up snacks and the like.
So yeah. FRAGA!
I *really* wish this conversation had come up earlier lol
I have a ride arranged for now, not entirely sure when I'm leaving as I may still have to pick up some stuffs.
I just got back to town today.
So the Fraga About page says no coolers, but it sounds like its talking about powered coolers. What about regular old camping coolers? I'd like to keep some drinks chilled by our tables.
That's a good question, post it on the Fraga forums.
I brought a cooler last couple years with no problems.

Well, he's AT fraga right now setting up
Anyway, I should be in Leduc around noon
Coolers are fine as long as they aren't powered and aren't obvious - that is taking up space in the isle. A small 12 pop can one would be ok.
And Frag is now setup ready to go... record time this year.

I was in the building because my younger daughter had a ringette practice. I came and took a look and it looks like a nice set-up. I saw you, Mel, on the stage playing with the screen and then grabbing some kind of speaker or something out of a changeroom. Not that I'm stalking you.
Anyway, looks like you guys have the setup down pat. I couldn't believe the size of the power panel with the multiple giant plugs on it next to the admin table.
I didn't walk in because I didn't know if someone would be on me wondering what I was doing there. Especially since there are already ten or so people set up.

Hm, I have a larger one. But I can try and fit it under the table. If not, I'll just take it back to the hotel.

You should have totally come on in!!!! I would have made it work, no problem

Not entirely sure, but I should be leaving sometime between 9 and 10. So be there by 10 or 11.

Yep, room is all booked :)
I'll have to leave around 4 or so to check in but other than that it's ready to rock.
I suggest packing a second bag with your hotel stuff I guess.

Ah good. I was worried for a second there. I have a separate bag for clothes and such no worries there. I'm going to want to tag along to the hotel when you check in so I know where the room is.
FRAGA. That is all.
OK. Not quite. Mr. A do you think your pickup on the way back will have room for both our stuffs? I Brought my chair and a cooler as well as my computer. It all takes quite a bit of space.
Probably not then, sorry
Also call my house until 11 my cell battery is DEAD.
The charger is packed already

Already at frag and all set up!
I'll have less to bring back, so there /might/ be room. We'll have to see. even if I have to pack a bunch on my lap, I don't care :) if there's still not room, I'll call my neighbor, the guy that gave me a lift here.
Well Fraga day 1 is awesome so far!!
Power +1
Network +1
IRC +1
My own incompetence +1
I brought everything but a headset, so I ended up going to MemEx and buying some kickass Sennheisers
WOO YEAH
Fraga went pretty great, I'm sort of in limbo today, my internal clock is all messed up. I went to bed around 10:30 last night but woke up around 4 lol
Ahhhhhhhhh good times!

heh I got to sleep around 11, and got up around 10. Had my alarm set for 9, but I keep hitting the snooze button.
Ugh, I'm still quite tired. Fell asleep watching TV. Seems I was out for an hour or two.
1. How'd you go to sleep with that giant TV hanging on the wall?
2. Did they let you bring your cooler in?

I tried very hard to stay awake. Normally I find it hard to fall asleep watching tv. When I'm tired enough to fall asleep in front of the tv, nothing will keep me awake. I even had a bunch of caffeine.

Yup, there was plenty of room. It was good cause I had a crap load of drinks.
Yepp, Tom brought TWO coolers...
There are still tons of leftovers LOL

Heh the small one started out empty, just in case the big one couldn't be kept by the table.
11 bottles of Bawlz Rootbeer and counting.
