Last Chance to Sign Up for 10-Year Anniversary Party
We have 700 T-Shirts coming in today and now we need to know where to ship them. So while you can continue to sign up for parties, today is the last day we'll be looking at the sign-ups to determine where to send shirts.
You can sign up or host your own party and we'll try to mail lots of you schwag and ThinkGeek gift certificates. A note to people signed on for my party in Ann Arbor- we will be at Leopold Bros Oct 20. Pudge has a large party coming together near Seattle, Zonk has 30+ in Madison, and of course there's a big party in Palo Alto Oct 25 that Hemos & I will both be at as well. A reminder to all party planners- make SURE your email address is accurate so we can spam you guys and get snail mail addresses. Remember to take pictures/videos/etc at your local gatherings and submit them to us (we'll have an email address later). Whoever impresses us the most with their creativity in submission will win $1k ThinkGeek prize.
I for one look forward to meeting my 'Foobar' sig-correcting overlords.

Taco, how are you dealing with people faking a party to get the free swag?
Have to admit it came to my mind "hey free swag!", and so I'm sure others will take the bait and do exactly that even if I won't.
I like muppets.
Ok, I know this is off topic, but I figure this is the best place to ask. A few weeks ago I was shopping for food in the East Bay (SF Bay Area) and when I walked out of the store there was a teal PT Cruiser with Slashdot logos on it. I needed to get home but I was curious if that was someone that worked for /. or just a really hard core fan.

Hello, I'm from Valencia and I made a party. Is there people from Valencia (Spain)?
Anyone know which party the "IF I EVER MEET YOU I WILL KICK YOUR ASS" guy is going to?
What may well be fake is anyone who shows up. There's even some kinda hot chicks in underwear show going on sometime at this place. (night of the slashparty?). But so far no one says they're gonna show up. Hell, I'll be there - if for no other reason than the happy hour munchies.

I think I'm going to secretly plant a Slashdot 10th Anniversary Geocache in Palo Alto so it's published just before the party. Knowing slashdotters I won't even have to suggest they bring a GPSr.

Yeah, I love free T-shirts (even though I didn't plan a party, and just found out about the tenth anniversary today, although I've probably been hanging around this bloody place the whole time) ...

But then you'd spam me (as you so politely warned), and then I'd have to kill you. Or call my cousin Vinney in Joisey
T-shirt, huh? Hmmmm
You have to entice the crowd with teasers.

I would die to make a prank to one of the many parties by paying some girls to get into the bar and look for a bunch of nerd/techie looking guys talking about slashdot and then flirt with them. I would love to see the reaction of all those geeks hahaha. [yes, I do have a real-nonplastic-lovely girlfriend :-)]

So, you want people to host a 'hurray we're 10 years old' Slashdot party, put our names in for some free t-shirts as an incentive. Who's paying for this party? Who benefits from the free advertising? I think you'll get some response... but not much.
/. convention?!? Have guest speakers, charge fees, book it in Vegas, have presentations and awards for the best news stories, best comments, funniest comments, top member, you could really work it and at the end, have enough money left over to pay for hardware upgrades and bandwidth costs for a long long time. GEEKS LOVE CONVENTIONS -> it's why Star Trek conventions work dummies! Specially if they fall just before Porn-Ex in Vegas.

No, but it helps if you want to talk to girls.
Of course, this is a /. party so you won't have to worry about that.
Just take it easy on the Red Bull jello-shots.
What?
Actually, given the nature of most of the slashdotters I know; give the booze to the girls. It makes a big difference if they're the ones with a distorted view of reality.

One problem with all this... didn't your mummy ever warn you of the dangers of meeting people you chat to online in real life? Mine certainly did!
Seriously though... it will be great to see whether all you folks I've come to consider to be an extended, albeit highly dysfunctional, family are really the freaks I imagine you all to be, or whether I'm the only one?
I'd hate to have my illusions dashed by finding out I'm the only one on this site who isn't "normal"... One of the things that most attracted me to this site was intelligent discussion, interspersed with humour (and an enjoyable challenge it often is to try to work out which is which).

You got moderated flamebait, which I can't really disagree with, but I have to admit that was my first thought too. Maybe the grand prize for the person who organises the best party will be a chance to punch kdawson in the face and post the video on GooTube.

Un-notable authors Emmett Plant and timothy I think will both be at The Dive in Philadelphia on the 23d of this month. (timothy may have to skip some class to get there ...)
That is all.

D'oh! Looks like it's been moved to Independence Brew Pub -- which is easier to reach, nice, but I was sort of hoping to see what a self-labeled Dive would look like ;)
;)
Surprised there's not one going on in West Philly -- but this makes it an easier bike for me, so I'm not complaining
Cheers,

Sign up? Doesn't that deliberately exclude the tens of millions of Anonymous Cowards who have spurred riveting discussion over these 10 years? They have their place!
Post a big sign, name the time and place and let the Anonymous Cowards in!
What's that? No, not the same time and place as the rest of us...

Where you do sign-up for the t-shirt?
Or is it just signing up for the AA or other large party = receiving a T-shirt if you're early and lucky?
The thing is, I'll probably be going to as many of the three in Austin as I can, but you only get to register for one because that's the way they set up the script. So I clicked on the first one and plan to switch afterwards.

D'oh again -- looks like Independence Brew Pub went belly up, at least according to a post on the page for the Philly party.

So I guess it will be someplace else!

My Slashdot account was locked with the wrong email address. Now it is unlocked thankfully to wonderful support at slashdot. SO I am planning to host party at Hyderabad, Venue still to be decided. Would the goodies be shipped from slashdot :) :) :)
The slashdot aniversary party in San Francisco is considering several public venues for the party. One topic of discussion was the fact that many slashdotters might not be able to recognize each other.
Perhaps there should be a slashdot party badge sized to fit a standard badge holder. Slashdotters could navigate to a page that would print out a recognizable Icon as well as their handle and perhaps other statistics (join date, first post date, number of posts, Karma points, etc.).
Those people unable to join an official slashdot party could particpate in a virtual slashdot party by wearing their paper badge in a badge holder as they go about their business in the mall, etc.
I suggest anyone from NL meet at In de Wildeman http://www.indewildeman.nl/indexe.html/. It's close to the central station and has one of the best beer selections in the country (More than 200 sorts of beer at the last count - enough for most people I expect).
Your attitude is infectious...
