[AKIMBOactive]

ahh looks like ill be late to work wed. morning...

 

[chizow]

Argh!! had to be a weekday! You think I have time to chuck up I-95 from Rosslyn, VA and then make it back to Reston??? Damn

Oh well, my bro will be there for sure, he lives in Canton and he's in between jobs...so the only thing holding him back is sleeping in. Besides it would be really unfair to the rest of you guys if 3 people in my family won....my sister won up in Philly and the XP found a nice home in my box...the rest of it died a painful death on fleabay.

I've been living under a rock i guess, what is this? Do we have to sign up online to be able to get into the event in baltimore? or can we just get in... also do we need to know anything about the products to win the prize in the live event or is it just a random raffle drawing.

 

[Pennstate]

what time?

 

[RDaneel]

W00t! I am going to be staying with my gf in BALTIMORE (I live in DC) that morning! Whoo hoo! I thought I would miss all the XPP events...

What serendipity! See you all there!

They stop handing out tix at 6:10am and start raffling shortly afterwards. You don't need to know anything to get a ticket and win. I'm still debating whether or not to crash the nite before at my bro's apt in Canton. Rdaneel are you in the City? I'm across the bridge in Rosslyn....that hike back to work is gonna be a pain the arse though, and I heard the AMD guys take their good time calling out ticket numbers.

Hey hey... I thought Baltimore was the forgotten city. Might be showing up, since Wednesday is the day right before Thanksgiving break for us college people. Nobody goes to class on Wednesday

The problem is I'll have to take a cab up to White Marsh... there goes $30 or so. I'd better bring a few friends along. Anyone from around Hopkins (Homewood)?

 

[numatrix]

Man, IT IS ABOUT TIME. I almost took the trip to philly last month for this. I'll be late to work on wednesday. Hope I get one.

:->

 

[RDaneel]

Chizow, my gf is in Parkville right south of Towson. Should be only a 15-20 minute drive to White Marsh. Very excited.

Anyone know how many prizes they raffle off?

[Poochy]

Sweet, I'm there, or at least my wife will be. She works about 5 mins from White Marsh Mall so I'll let her do the waking up early and fighting with the geek crowd instead .

 

[BlackCatt]

Man, I am still waiting to hear back from them about when they are shipping my combo from the online contest.... this sucks...

 

[gothaggis]

well i work in silver spring, but my parents live in Joppa (about 10 mins from white marsh) so i may go up there tonight and crash and then brave 95/495 in the morning...nothing like taking 45 mins to go 8 miles...

 

[MrBhevarsugadu]

Thank you.

AMD Extreme Performance Tour

I been stakin the Baltimore giveaway for a while, just came at a really bad time You know that you could tell all the host cities from day 1 right? On the map, the cities would pop-up, just no date.

SUOrangeman, from what my sister told me, and what I've read on some of the review sites that attended, it takes about an hour. 50 XPP kits, with CPU, mobo, and HSF. 1 Falcon NW gaming box. They toss out t-shirts and other stuff as well. Apparently the AMD guys take their good time calling out ticket numbers, torturing the crowd, causing the hordes of geeks to get all riled up. My sister said she got a good kick out of it.

They're coming to PORTLAND? KICK ASS! Wait, do you mean Portland Main or Portland Oregon?

 

[digme]

bump if for those who haven't seen this!! the GF3 info has been domniating the top spots

 

[SUOrangeman]

I came. I saw. I laughed. I left empty-handed.

The shirtless guys will be ill before the end of the day. The emcee looked like Steve Ballmer and I claim that he throws (t-shirts) like Grbac.

-SUO

Should I be happy that I never made that 45 miles drive to Baltimore? How many attended? How cold was it?

 

[CStrikeADDICT]

it was so cold, so crowded, so crazy... and so worth it.

and now i have to figure out how to raise the funds to case and dress up this badboy of mine. =)

it probably wouldn't have been worth it to drive hours to get there though... there were so many people... doesn't seem like it would've been worth it.
