It takes a special personality to organize something as complicated as the Short-Media Lan and primesuspect has done it 3 years running. All I do are the nametags and it always kicks my ass. I can't imagine doing the logistics and planning needed to pull this thing off, I really can't.. What with the tent, keeping track of participants, flights, T-shirts, parcels, electrical needs, computer equipment, snuffy, mowing the lawn and the kids.. To be able to do this and still have time to maintain your own business AND the Short-Media website... My hat's off to you Brian! Seriously.. it takes patience, dedication, tolerance, generosity and love and you have all that in spades. Maybe there's something to this buddhist fad you're on...

    You forgot... Able to take all the gripes from attendees about what he SHOULD have done, or what they would have done. Brian has done an outstanding job each year and any glitch is solved (or worked around) and the gaming goes on. Each year has gotten better and this year looks to follow suit. I am proud to be a Short-Median and darn exited to attend this years LAN.

    Brian... you Rock!!! :headbange

    Heh. you guys :o

    Yeah, you know, it's so tough. I make such a sacrifice. I get to have an excuse to have a huge party with 30+ of my friends at least once a year, play games all night, drink, laugh, and cause general mayhem.. it's a rough life, I'll admit. I hate every single minute of it :p

    Thank you guys, it means a lot to me :)

    Naw.... the fun part is "trying" to mow the kids... they're just too fast and shifty to catch with a mower... sure is fun to watch though. ;D

    Well, that is unless you have one of those zero turn radius mowers. They are more agile than my german shephard, although, he can out run it easily. but its still really fast, I can chase him down if he isnt running.

    That pic disturbs me on so many levels, yet... i find it strangely appealing...

    It reminds me of the bit in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the book, not the movie, you nitwit), where the construction foreman in charge of razing Arthur Dent's house keeps having visions of sweaty men, charging horses, and bloody warfare because he is a direct descendent of Ghengis Khan (unbeknownst to him, of course.) That's sort of how I feel when I look at that picture... Like I'm missing something important..... :eek3:
