• Time: Saturday, July 3rd, 2004 at our house. (Exact times to be announced later)
• Place: DarthLuke's House
  Address:
  2622 W. Sanson
  Spokane WA, 99205
• I don't have to tell techs how to get directions here :)
• BYOCC: Bring your own computers and cables. LAN partying is fun, I do have an extra monitor, keyboard and mouse but that's it. If you have any games you'd like to play bring them too. I have some stuff like RA2, UT2004, and Jedi Academy etc. If you have a power extension cord that would be good too since I don't want to trip a circuit breaker or anything.
• Food items: If you have any food items you'd like to bring or think others would enjoy bring'em. The more the better! Stuff like buns, chips. condiments (no condoms!!!) or just a few bucks for food, I have a store just a few blocks from here.
• Alcohol: We don't drink but you can. You will have to bring your own, it's not part of my budget, sorry. Please if you do choose to drink do so in moderation and don't get drunk and piss on my stuff. If you do I will have to take pictures and post them on the web :)
• Camping gear: If you want to stick around for the 4th and see the annual fireworks downtown you can camp in my yard which is reasonanbly flat. The weather here in July is usually plenty hot enough. A couple of really courageous people might be able to survive our livingroom floor but you'd need your own sleeping bags etc.
• Digital Cameras: Bring'em, bring memory. I have a fairly universal card reader but if you have any doubt bring your own cable. I have a CD/DVD burner and will glady burn them to disk for you to take home.
• Lawn Chairs: Please, I have a few that are old and cruddy and don't actually belong to me. If you have some and can bring them please do.
• Star Member Shirts: Since this is a TSC BBQ let's all show our spirit with TSC shirts, or at least Tech related shirts if possible. I have 2 star member shirts and an RTFM in case somebody needs a loaner. No you cannot wear the Star shirt if you are not a Star. I don't want to be killed by a horde of other fanatic Star members :)
• We will also be have a "Joe Starfish" contest. Before the BBQ I will be building a starfish (don't worry folks, he's stuffed, he can't hurt you) and all throughout the BBQ "Joe Starfish" will be doing Starfishy things to amuse us techs. There will be prizes (note I did not promise how good they would be) for the best ideas of things for Mr.Starfish to do. Hilarity will ensue, really.
