LAN Party

[Tami]

w00t triple post again

sponsorship applications sent to alienware, geargrip (Case Ace) and Spire Coolers. Alienware & Case Ace require advance posting of their banners to ensure legitimate sponsorship requests, so now we get to wait for them to say yes /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> Spire Coolers does not requre advance posting, and they promise a 2 week turn around time on requests.

Thank you to ryan for posting the lan here:

....and we are also now in their database as a technology place; if people click \"See publicist info for KillaNet\" they get our company info, address, and my name, phone etc.

Thanks vercz for suggesting we give it a try, I really didn\'t think they would publicize it. 0.0

[Josh]

I\'m preventing you to be able to do a ... uhhh... quintsomething post.

Like I said to Adaera earlier today; One big step for KillaNet.

[Tami]

pffft thanks for ruining my posting run, sheesh /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

I contacted a mascot maker in this area in regards to having an Orby costume made (Mike thinks it\'s a cool idea and he wants to wear it at the LAN...I don\'t think he realizes how hot the costumes get rofl) Anyway, I think it would be cool to have Orby in real life. Maybe we could even sell Orby plush toys LOL /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Digital Youth and Digital Storm have been added to our Network Properties list on killanettechnology.com (and yes Scott, I did it without breaking the site this time)

I haven\'t really done that much today, but I\'m sure I\'ll get back at it tomorrow and send out more sponsorship requests and work on the marketing materials.

[Jim]

/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':o\' /> I wanna Orby plush toy :| and umm, yea an Orby costume sounds like a good idea...but no way I\'m wearing that /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

[us3rX]

Ada.. mike does know you cant game very well in a costume right? /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Good Job vercz for getting us on GamePress /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' /> /good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' />

btw... Josh look at it this way, now there will be a physical \"orby\" for us to beat/kill /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

us3rX /ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />

[Tami]

He wouldn\'t be wearing it all the time, and yes he knows...because Orby has now fingers LOL

and you two leave orby alone /disgust.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(hmph)\' />

[NightStorm]

He has no cape either...

[Tami]

ROFL....well, I\'m sure we could add a small one; it could come in handy as \"Orby control\" .... easier to hang him from the rafters.

Okay two things.

1. Got an estimated quote for the costume: $2000.00 plus taxes, which really isn\'t that bad, I know what goes into making the mascot costumes as I once worked p.r. in a place which manufactured the A & W Rootbear costumes

2. We\'ve gotten some feedback via the media page on dsl.com from eSportsTV. They\'ve published our press release on their site, and as the person filled in the feedback in the manner I requested those wanting press passed to do, I think they may want to attend and provide live coverage of the LAN. I\'ve emailed him a reply to confirm this and to find out what their requirements are (like, is it going to cost money). So, I guess we\'ll find out if they\'re coming to the party, so to speak.

[radar]

At least you got your press release right.

Valhalla posted in the paper as the 24th and 25th of Feb, which is a friday and saturday respectively. Valhalla only runs on Saturday and Sunday!


Congrats to getting posted everywhere.

[Marko]

What is orby? Is it that weird thing that keeps poping up from the left side, or it used to anyway?

[Tami]

Orby\'s not weird looking /disgust.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(hmph)\' />

[Tami]

weeee another posting streak....

We are now in official negotiations with eSportsTV in regards to live internet broadcast coverage of Digital Storm. I\'ll keep you updated on the situation as it develops.

Dillon: we are including your podcast in the negotiations, so that if you are able to make it, you will have the opportunity to do your podcast as well as interview the eSportsTV staff.

[Josh]

Hmmm...orby plush toys... *ponders*

[Marko]

woot a streaming live cam, that\'d be cool.
Oh btw, orby is to weird looking /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
