Could it be the liquor sales? ;) Doesn't DC qualify as one of their highest sales in liquor all year?

True....

I believe Defcon beat the drinking record held by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

I think they want us back for the free computer help they can get out of us. :)

I think astcell is talking about your scrolling LED display that you mentioned at the beginning of this thread. as noted below:

Oh

hah, didn't read back, I was like, did someone else have one? :)

[astcell]

I'll bring one this year, it'll say "SEE OTHER SIGN."

[russ]

Cool, and I'll bring one that says "NOPE, NOT THIS ONE!"

I remember seeing the sign... last year I got one of the shittier rooms in one of the back buildings of the AP (near pool 3).

I couldn't imagine DefCon without me being at the AP. It's getting more expensive, but cost isn't as big an issue for me these days. Plus, I make sure I stay an extra day before and after to both "gear up" and "cool down". I love meeting and talking to a lot of the folks that show up. I met mark from halibut stuff that way 2 years ago. Fantastic guy.

Tons of great people... tons of great times...

Of course, I had to reserve my room in September. ;)

Ah, gotta see the reactions of people who only see russ' sign...

"Not this one what?"

[astcell]

how about....

"How do you keep an idiot busy? See the sign in room ###"

or...

"When you're not looking, this sign is in German."

and my favorite...

"A seminar on time travel will be held last week."

That liquor store on the corner next to the subway loves us too. Every year the same guy is there and he always gives me a free box of ice

Corner Store

Hahaha, that guy is hysterical. He told me he pulls eight grand, or more, a night when defcon is there. He's our biggest fan.

Wow, I'm in the wrong business.

Maybe we can make a deal with him...we get a bag of ice with every 4 cases of beer we buy?
