Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Party Grand Prize Winner

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday October 31, 2007 @04:00AM from the congratulations-for-the-carnage dept.

From Brisbane to Beunos Aires... From the UK to France to Romania... from New York to San Francisco and everywhere in between, we had well over 100s of parties and over 2,300 registered attendees scattered around the world. Many of them got boxes of t-shirts and ThinkGeek gift certificates (and some of them even got them on time). We've seen cakes with legos and logos, we seen nerf gun fights, and even a lawn sporking. I've put a tiny sampling of my favorite pictures online. The grand prize winner is of the $1k store credit at ThinkGeek is Lindsi from Minneapolis. Their party featured a lolcats cake, a taco bar and a dude in a helmet smashing computers with a sledge hammer in a raining parking lot. They earned it. We had a great time in both Palo Alto and Ann Arbor- I hope you guys had fun wherever you gathered. See you again in 2017!

Thanks! We all had a blast at this party. I have to say the prize money will be split up amongst the other brains of the operation - I have to give credit where credit is due, to Corey (vibrant_com), Kris (kblommel) and Hudson (decepticoneazye) for their efforts. Maybe we can put it towards something everyone can enjoy at the next geeky-get together. (I heard /. has birthdays every year...! Ha.)
