Come have dinner and help support MidsouthMakers! Just mention “we’re here for MidsouthMakers” between 4pm-9pm April 30th! Most of us are going to try to gather around 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Blue Coast Burrito April 30th

Here are a few pictures from our recent LAN party and Cleanup Day in the shop. See our flicker photo stream for more!

We’re going to do a focused cleanup day at the space this Sunday April 10th starting around 10 AM. Feel free to come when you can; we’ll be working till about 5pm or so depending on how much we get accomplished. Bring your work gloves as we’ll be primarily focused on the shop to make some more room for projects and more work area. We want to make visible progress, not attempt to clean an entire mountain. We want to open up the shop area a bit better so that we (and the landlord) have more room to work. We have set goals that we want to complete on Sunday so that we can focus everyone’s efforts. That being said, if you have projects you’re storing / working on in the shop, you may want to make sure any tools or such are put up before Sunday. I know some of you have projects you all are working on, I just don’t want to have to move something that shouldn’t be moved.

Our main goals:

• reorder and reorganize the mezzanine, specifically the right hand half of it
• move enough stuff out of the way to get the metal rack over on that side against the wall
• order and organize the wood that’s on the floor there utilizing the rack and space created on the mezzanine

This doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a lot to do so we’re definitely going to be using everyone that can show up to help. These three things should keep us pretty busy all day.

SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!

Come on down to our LAN-NIHILATION party starting this SATURDAY at NOON! How much, you ask? How about FREE?! We’ll be kicking things off by setting up these MONSTER MACHINES around 11am, but these babies NEVER SLEEP, so feel free to come by WHENEVER YOU CAN. We won’t stop playing until the last machine BURST INTO FLAMES or until everyone decides to pack it up. Our previous parties have gone till about midnight or 1am, but this LAN KNOWS NO LIMITS.

Come out and see all your favorites: Left4Dead2, Alien Swarm, StarCraft 2, Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2, Magicka, Monday Night Combat, UT3, Minecraft (our own server) and UT2k4.

For the first time since the last time, we’ll also have XBOX 360s!  Rock Band, Halo, Guitar Hero, and Call of Duty will be AT YOUR MERCY! You’ll want a whole seat for all this face-melting action, but you’ll only need THE EDGE.

MEGA CHILI MADNESS! Our very own CHILI GOD Kevin Dunn will be cooking his amazing CHILI AMBROSIA.  Not enough for you? We’ll have HOTDOGS, CHIPS, and ROTEL if you think you can handle it!

NITTY GRITTY DETAILS:
$10 gets you: Food + 2 Sodas
$15 entitles you to: Food + ALL THE SODA YOU CAN DRINK*
*or until we run out
Someone will be getting a KEG, those details to follow!
