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.

Re:Fakes?

Both 'parties' remotely close to where I live have 2 or 3 people. [...] I'm not going to go sit around in awkward silence with a couple other socially inept geeks just for a t-shirt.

There went your nerd cred.

Re:Slashdot PT Cruiser

[ackthpt]

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.

That was probably the latest ploy in geek recruiting. If you stepped too close the doors would have swung open, you'd have been dragged inside, driven to a secret location, dragged out and into an office building, placed at a work station, given an $80,000/yr job working with software or engineering and all the women around you for the rest of your life would give you dismissive looks.

Good thing you ran away!

Re:Thanks Slashdot, community (real people) rocks!

[ackthpt]

This is the coolest thing about Slashdot. The people who are going to show up at these parties are usually hardcore techies. What a great feature, thanks Slashdot!

Don't forget to check all your base at the door.

Yeah, but look at it this way, you're still around -- what of the poor Soviet Russians? There's no Party to join THEM!
