I've sent job applications in 3 times and got rejected 3 times >_>
Volume counts, man!

I sent in 30 job apps per day for three days, and was fielding requests for interviews for over a week afterwards. I ended up with about 5-6 job offers and chose the best one.

No johns - I also had the disadvantage of being deaf. :)

edit: should also mention I'm reaping the benefits of said job right now, being typing on a brand new $1400 computer.

I still think that you should leave your friend's party / leave ADAT early, Tyson. I want to at least see your Snake in action before the end of summer, I've been hearing that it's good. :)

lol Mike.

Who do you play now anyways, you played so many people at CT4

edit: Luke/Tyler this is important. Is there a strong source of water/beverage that isn't deathly to the throat in the building?

I mean a water fountain will do. Same goes for nearby Food sources.

Can you please let me know, I seem to be coming down with a mad throat sickness and I need this.

Mark (Frio) will be bringing a VCR or two. I'll see if I can buy some tapes.

Brad: There's tap water there, not sure about a water fountain...but I'll buy you a water bottle or two and stick it in the fridge there with your name on it.

I will if John cancels on me for sure, we ****.

Also, awe might want a few extension cords (aka more plugs) so we can plug ina vcr, wii and tv all at once in one spot.

and thanks Tyler, I can probably do with the tap water, I'll have my own bottle, but if you do decide to pick me up a bottle or two I'll pay you back =P

No, but bring them anyway.

I realize that the $10 is starting to get to people, so I'm thinking that if we do another tourney in the future, I will reduce the entry fee to $5 or $0 and take money from the pot instead. If we have time to plan things out (which we might not, because there's only 2 days left), then I may also be able to reduce the entry fee to $5 for Saturday.

Well, I think some of us are starting to mind less now that you're actually taking things the way you should (thats a compliment you're improving)

if you actually manage to cut the fee thats sweet.

edit: Wern't you not coming Mike? But either way if you are now I'll team with you =3

Beeble, I can't give you a discount and not give anybody else a discount...the entire purpose of the $10 entry fee was because Luke and I were originally unaware that this many people would end up coming. Since this is our first tournament, we had no numbers or no estimate on which to predict how many people would come, so we decided to stick it safe and have a $10 entry fee. I'd feel more guilty having to dig deep into a pot with a $5 entry fee than to just stick it safe with $10.

It's true. it is. 2 Day's left guys, and with the outstanding 3 setups Sid and Mike are bringing, I think there will be a sufficient amount of setups, given that Carl actually shows (you got a ride yet).

what do you mean dig deep?

the fee for each tournament is going directly 100% to that tournaments pot right...

also luke are you able to ride me or not

No cutting from the tournament Pot.

I could probably bring a VHS (same thing as a VCR...right?) as soon as I figure out how to record with it. An online manual must be lurking somewhere in the depths of the internet...


Edit: confirmed i'm bringing a VCR, with a blank video cassette.

only took a couple hours to get it working...
