Best Of
I need some Volunteers!
When: Wednesday 2pm until I dismiss you
What: Lan Setup - tables, chairs, power, network cabling.
RSVP: no, please just be there at 2pm and be ready to work.
I am also looking for a couple things:
If any of you have access to some long standard PC power cords. I mean 10 feet or longer. Can we arrange shipment to me or ICHQ. You can bring them with you, but I need them by Wednesday 2pm. If you aren't going to be there by then, let's make other arrangements.
Ideas.. I want to put the switches up in the floor joists this year or at least maybe hang them from the joists. Not sure about using screws, have to talk to Lincoln about that yet. If we do use them, want to keep it very minimal. Any idea you have that consists of few/cheap materials will be welcomed.
We may just be able to use zip ties like we have before.

Re: EPIC 2015 Wine Tasting RSVP and Survey
The schedule isn't set in stone. I may be shuffling a few things after I let the initial wave of feedback shake out. I can see 4 or 5 events shuffling which might leave wine tasting on Saturday night after dinner.

Cruising for an extraction site to bounty hunt at, maybe mine a bit. The Asp isn't the cheapest, but it can do a decent bit of everything.
Stories from San Andreas - GTA 5 Online (PC, of course!)
So GTA 5 is finally out on PC, and a few of us have been having an absolute blast with it so far. If you own it on PC, add us as friends and join in. We roll in a crew called the White Suite Wookies, where we all don fancy white suits and just generally make wookie noises over the mic to the other players. It rules.
Here's a thread to share some of the ridiculous stories and experiences we've had together.
Today, @TiberiusLazarus joined up and decided to take us all on a bus ride from hell. Here's the trip from my perspective.
Jimmeh takes us for a trip down the freeway:
We made it to the Getty, but unfortunately @Ilriyas didn't get his car out of the way in time:
Also, @Ilriyas knows that feel when slav

Announcing the EPIC 2015 Schedule
The first draft of the schedule is here: https://epic2015.sched.org/
Events start with dinner Wed and run 11am to 1am, Thu-Sat. If I missed your event or screwed it up, this is the time to correct me.
In summary:
- Wednesday is new boardgames & MTG. I'm taking nominations for the Wed night LAN game.
- Thursday is high ropes course, Minecraft x2, homecooked pho, beer tasting, and the second annual Decathalon.
- Friday brings archery, a tea party, boardgames, wine tasting, BIKE & BREW (details below), and Smash Bros.
- Saturday finishes with Duct Tape Challenge, TF2, Human Chess (mini games), homebrew, & Mario Kart.
Also, we lied about Food Tour; it's on like Donkey Kong.
Decathalon is a team-based LAN gaming event that tests the teams' wits in 4-5 PC games.
Human Chess is an elaborate excuse to play hilarious party games in the alleyway.
Duct Tape Challenge is a team-based duct tape engineering challenge that changes every year.
Bike & Brew Tour is a biking tour of Atwater Brewing, Brew Detroit, Batch Brewing, Traffic Jam, Motorcity Brewing, and Jolly Pumpkin / North Peak. Anyone not biking can still join us at Batch Brewing which will double as our food tour stop that evening. The event after this being named "Smashed Bros." was not a schedule typo. Because of the stops for pints, the biking portion will be a bit shorter. Also, the last 3 breweries are all in a cluster & at the end of the tour from which it is a very easy walk back to the house. Rentals will be available and inexpensive.
Signups will commence immediately following ticket sales ending.
