I hope you all have had a pleasant 4th of July! I personally went to San Francisco where the fog obscured ALL fireworks from view! What we did get was a wonderful assortment of colored clouds, ranging from blue, purple, red and white! With a few booms thrown in there, it was as if we were witnessing a reenactment of the revolutionary war :)

The TeamTG SummerBash 2008 LAN party is 57 days away! Hosted in OmniRune’s recently purchased house, we expect a minimum of 20 gaming guests for 4 nights of fun-filled fragdom.

The first TeamTG LAN party to be hosted in a house since the SummerBash 2003 LAN party at OlgaBaby’s, we will have the advantage of plenty of gaming space, a large 112″ projected screen, and a Crastified LAN network architecture. Coupled with some OmniSauce, this LAN is bound to be a great reunion for old TeamTGers and a outstanding welcome to you new TGs.

Returning to us at this LAN party is the much sought after OlgaBaby and metalhead. FaeriePrincess also has an unconfirmed visit to the state, swinging by to reunite with the Omni after years of her TG membership.

Several new members will be showing for the first time, including the lovely yuske and voxy, as well as some of our other new female members, ayori, colebean, and pocketsizedliz.

What does this mean for you? ATTEND! This LAN will be, as CyberChicken puts it, “Fucking Epic.” Don’t miss it, and bring your friends. Hell, Steef is even bringing up a Keg. If you’re not doing it for the games, do it for the beer (and be at least 21!)
