L0phT Heavy Industries in conjunction with CAT Technologies
presents
Grill-A-Th0n 5.0
******************************************************
Yes folks, it is that time of year again. Time for Roof Throwing, Island
Hopping, Pool Ball, Flaming Chili, Jack the Crack Fiend, watching them
copulate in the woods and who knows what else. Are your ready for the
mayhem? The carnage? The free for all? Are you ready for
Grill-A-Th0n 5.0
"I am ready, I think I want it, but what is it?"
ATDT and ATDT East may be dead but Grillathon lives on as a tribute to
those that have gone before. A yearly gathering of the characters that
make up our world. A gathering to meet face to face those you may have
only known through the transferring of electrons across great distances.
A time to interact via analog methods over some potato salad, a burger
and a dip in the pool.
You have heard of Summercon, Defcon, HoHocon, Pumpcon, and all the
rest but this is not a con its a Thon. There will be no guest speakers,
no scheduled demonstrations, no hotel rooms to trash, no fee to pay at
the door just a day of merriment and laughter.
"Well, gee can I come?"
Yes, Virginia you can. Everyone is invited as always. Basically if you
can read this your invited. However, this being a world wide accessible
page let me point out that Grill-A-Th0n has traditionally been a local
event. Local pretty much to the 617/508 AC. You are still welcome to
show if you like, but if you spend all your hard earned cash on plane
fare and then have no where to stay or someone throws you in the pool, or
if your shunned into a corner and no one speaks to you don't come crying
to me.
"Alright! Now I know what it is but when is it?"
Saturday August 12th, is the magic day. If for some reason you can?t
make it let me know and I will reschedule the whole thing. Wait a
minute, what do you mean you can't make it? This is Grill-A-Thon! It comes
but once a year! How are you gonna tell Dem0nSeed you can't make it? I
could see telling Santa Claus you that you couldn't make it to Christmas but
Santa Claus is a big fat red guy, what the hell is he gonna do? Dem0nSeed
however, is a 2 ton flaming orange Monster Truck who would crush your
skull without a moments hesitation. Face it you will be there.
Besides how could you live with yourself if you missed something
legendary like the Flaming Chili Incident or if you missed those
heartfelt moments with Jack the Crack Fiend. Face it you will be there.
"OK, OK, I'll be there. What do I need to bring?"
Yourself, a bathing suit (or go au natural if you like) and a towel.
Maybe a small pool toy (that says pool, not boy), my pool will be
available again this year so bring a towel. Someone might want to bring a
basketball. I need someone to mix the tunes. Your own booze.
Most importantly you must bring Food. Grill-A-Th0n has traditionally
been pot luck and it will continue to be, so everyone should bring one
item that can be shared by all. We almost always have enough ketchup but
never enough hamburgers so screw the condiments and think BIG. Think
pounds of hamburger, gallons of potato salad, watermelons, etc....
(Note: Last year I had four bags of hotdogs left in my freezer when it
was all over so we won't need any hotdogs this year.)
"Got my towel and some food, I'm ready to go. Wait a minute, where the
hell am I going!?!?"
To Grill-A-Th0n you fool! Oh, you mean the location. Well for those
that where there last year it will be in the same place. So you can ask
one of them or you can send me mail at yyyy@xxxxxxxx.net and I
will mail you directions. (NOTE: Any inquiries made to
yyyy@zzzzzzz.com will be IGNORED! I get way to much mail there
already.) This being a world wide accessible forum I'm not to inclined
to post directions to my house here, even if I will be only living there
for a few more weeks.
"Ahhh, I just woke up. What was this page all about?"
Grill-A-Th0n 5.0, Saturday August 12th around 1pm or so, bring a towel and
some food, email me at yyyy@xxxxxxx.net for directions.
