EverLAN

This is 5 days late but whatever.

Everlan was pretty awesome this weekend. I pretty much played WoW the whole weekend, accentuated with some brief ownage sessions in counterstrike. I just got counterstrike the day before so it wasn't pretty.

There was some cool stuff there. A startup company, IZ3D, was there with their 3D monitor. I thought it was a little gimmicky but could be cool. www.iz3d.com Mountain Dew was a sponsor, and we each got 10 free dews ... that was the only liquid I had for the entire 3 day event... not healthy. I also picked up some pretty sweet leettiles, which are like scrabble pieces but have leet characters on them.

Other memorable moments were the ATi presentation, in which we got to see the "Miss Everlan" contest and a man licking "ATI" spelled out in Vegimite off of another man's chest for a video card. The mountain dew drinking contest was also pretty funny - this time it was in several rounds: In round one, the participants had to drink one mountain dew as fast as they could - if they were the fastest, they moved to round two, where they had to drink two mountain dews. By round three, the guys had already consumed 3 mountain dews, and they had to drink 3 more to win. The catch? They had to hold it in for 15 minutes. This was the funniest part - there's nothing like projectile mountain dew vomit over the audience.

The best thing about this weekend: I won a Radeon x1900xt!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't even out yet so they couldn't say the name when they were giving away the door prizes!! OMFG!! Now I just need something to put it in...
