Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

Re: Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

Every time I think the Riv has done the dumbest thing yet, they go and out do themselves. Getting out of there is going to be the best thing we can do. Frankly, I don't care if we stay in Vegas, I'm sure there are other towns that would love to have us! I just wish this had happened sooner. We should have been looking for a new hotel after the first years mess. I'm a little upset that the problem had to go this far before anyone was willing to take action.

And I want DIET BRAWNDO too!

Re: Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

Seattle might be another option, since it was another city explicitly mentioned in WarGames as an American city to "nuke" in addition to Las Vegas when two main characters were discussing the American cities to nuke.

No. I am not being serious.

Wasn't Seattle where the character's lived?

Yes, it was.

I really like it, it's good stuff. I am looking forward to Diet Brawndo as well. They also may be making an alcoholic version in the future.

/me is waiting for Diet Brawndo to come out, so she can try some.

Maybe they'll make a Diet Alcoholic version too!!!

heh, it's too bad that Colorado Springs is a rather expensive community, because we could move the con close to Cheyenne Mountain.

Expensive Community? h3 and I can see Cheyenne Mtn. from our front yard and I'll tell you right now it's cheaper than Vegas to do stuff here, hell we've even stayed at hotels here just because it was a cheap vacation.

For all you Wargames fans, there's a 25th anniversary showing at "select theaters" July 24th.

Including a preview of the direct-to-dvd Wargames 2. Be afraid.

Hey, Lancaster County is almost done with a brand new convention center. How about everyone comes down here with the Amish.

I think suffering through the preview of that crap would be worth seeing the original on the big screen again.

They built a convention center? Where?

Amish are overrated... Getting woken up in the middle of the night by kids driving buggies out on rumschpringe sucks. I do miss chicken pot pie, though.

Lancaster in the BBS days was pretty fun.

Re: Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

that said... it would be pretty fucking hilarious if we were to descend upon a place like Reno for one year and see how it goes, hah.

Reno would rule for BH/Defcon! The money would be a serious enough influx here to buy us leeway with the hotels/casinos and authorities. There is a ton of convention space. Rooms and food and transportation are cheaper. We could likely book out an entire hotel and get 24/7 access to the pool and not frighten the normals and all the stuff that made the AP rock.

Right beside the Watt & Shand building after the music store mysteriously burned to the ground.

I'm not sure I'm up for driving Rt30 from York to Lancaster. 2700 mile flight followed by a 400 mile drive across the desert, yes. US30? No. Not with that hellish construction disaster.

On the more serious end, doing anything national in Lancaster would be... Difficult. Nearest airport of any note is HIA... Which doesn't have flights to or from anywhere. That leaves Philly and Baltimore/Washington. And both of those are hellishly long hikes, requiring rental cars. And I think there are fewer hotel rooms in Lancaster and York combined than there are on the average floor of a Vegas hotel :P


I'd also like to take this moment to inform you all that Winamp just decided now would be an appropriate time to play Amish Paradise.

Re: Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

On a serious note, I've had the wonderful opportunity to drink Brawdo. In fact, I think I drank approximately 6-8 cans over the course of two days/night.

It actually tastes pretty good. Sorta citrusy and has a bit of a bite to it. One thing, it looks exactly like anti-freeze when you pour it. The shit practically glows green.

So does it work.. .will you stay awake. Hell yes... I was wired after drinking half a can... so the subsequent cans were probably a very bad idea for my heart.

Re: Brawndo@DC16...it's got electrolytes!

If all this is true, they have really gone off the deep end. I wouldn't be surprised if theres some major conflicts this year. The party scene may be dead, but there may be other forms of chaos yet to be revealed..
