rune Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Have been doing this since CMBO, now will continue the tradition. A sneak peek at CMAK for those in the Chicago area. Others may be having one in your area, up to them if they want to. So, if you are in my area, which is Chicago, and would like a sneak peek on what has been eating all my time for quite a while, I ask you to post here. Details, do you prefer Friday evening, the 10th of Oct, or Saturday late afternoon, early evening on the 11th? Depending on how many are interested, we can have it at my house, with four PCs running it, or I can bring a laptop to a bar. We can always have it at the Grizzleys in Chicago again. Again, I ask not to give away too many surprises, and none about the scenarios. [Most people don't like spoilers, and want to play the scenarios for themselves] If you have the urge to bitch that I am having it in Chicago, get over it, it is where I live. Not going to go through the whining like the CMBB preview. I won't commit any of the other beta testers, as they know their scedhules.

rune Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 And thinking about it, is the husband/wife team that did the CMBB preview for CNN still around? You are also most welcome to attend. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 WineCape, I'd even put you up for a few days, if you like dogs kids and etc. Heck, I may even put you to work refereeing soccer. hehehehehe Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I am going to do one on a weekend late in October (18th or 25th). No renditions of the Canadian anthem permitted. Americans only allowed in if they have two heads. No joking either, I am German. I will serve the English national dish Haggis, and the English national drink Carlsberg. Well, if you are lucky I can find some stale crisps under the sofa. If you want to attend, email me. First come first served. If demand is sufficient, I have another one a week or so later. Would be good if someone could bring an extra Computer (so no PC, Apple only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just too good looking ref!" I tell you, that got to me more than any other swear word that night. Pretty boy and all... Rune, you know me and snow, we don't melt together.

Barrold Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 WOO-HOO!!! I may have to cut my Saturday morning Systems Analysis class, but I think traditions should be an important consideration in one's education, so I am going to make every effort possible to attend! I guess Saturday afternoon would be OK and either location is fine with me. As my wife will be at a conference in Ann Arbor that weekend with the good car, I will be forced to drive the StinkMobile to the big city. Alas this is the price I pay to be a full-time student these days so I can't complain. BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Ahhh. . . so close and yet so far. I live nowhere near Chicago, but will be in the area for about two weeks on business in late Oct/early Nov. If for some reason you decide delay the sneak peak until early Nov, or hold a second session for those that could not make the first one, Rune, please let me know as I would love to attend. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to wait with the rest of the masses. . . Cheers, YD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I will serve the English national dish HaggisLOL I hope there aren't any scots on this board or you're in for a very rough ride Andreas.

wadepm Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Rune, I prefer Friday evening after work, but I could see how that would be a problem for out of towners to make.

rune Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 So far I have 1 Friday, 1 Saturday, 1 either. Yankee dopg, holler when it gets close for you to be out here, as I can make arrangements for you. Will wait to hear from a few more, but since so few, looks like at my house, you all can have your own computer. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
