first meeting of 2007-2008

2007-09-05T21:11:00.001-04:00

Everyone be on 3rd floor of Duke for the first meeting of the new year!!! 4:15 on Thursday.

Note the new day of week for the meetings.

Free Food!

2007-05-07T16:23:00.000-04:00

(For details on free food, see below.)

Ah, there's nothing quite like flirting with the Domino's Pizza girl for an itemized receipt. That being said, we are now entirely settled up with the SGA. Because transparency is good, here is where the money went.

We started with $808 + 120 slush.

Dues brought in a lot
First LAN Party spent more than that. $808 + about $110 slush
Sodas for Carp lab - $40 Slush
Money in from sodas + $20 (someone took sodas without paying!)
Posters from LAN Party - $105
Parts for Flashlights -$188
T-Shirts -$295
LAN Party +$305
LAN Party - $276.46
Because I said so +$168 moved from SGA to Slush
Perfectly legitimate means +$48 moved from SGA to Slush

This leaves us with about $8 in the SGA account, $20 in cash, a check for $21 (don't let me forget about this this time), and $216 in my bank account (don't let me forget to take this out).

Now, here's the fun part.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, on Reading Day Eve, the ACM is going out to dinner at Crazy Fire on Huffman Mill Rd (email cagocs@elon.edu if you don't know how to get there or need a ride). Remember that $216+$20+$21? Well, that's buying you dinner! Come on down for delicious good times.

To reiterate:
Money stuff.
Dinner:
-Where? Crazy Fire on Huffman Mill Rd.
-When? Tuesday, May 8th, at 1900 (7:00 pm, for those of you who need your time mod 12)
-How Much? Free for you, assuming our bill stays below $257. If it goes above, well, still very inexpensive.
-Why? Because we love you so much.

F3^4 Over

2007-04-28T21:53:00.000-04:00

Woot!
The F3^4 was, and I say this in all seriousness, an unmitigated success. L1 Cache was devastated in the Halo 2 Tourney by a group of pre-teen punks (who ended up winning first). Guitar Hero 2 rocked out loud by the fountain. Wolfenstein fizzled, but Wii Bowling was awesome.

Thanks go out to Clarke who got us 48 (OMG!) bottles of Bawls, to the faculty (Megan, Joel, Crider, and Beuerle) who showed up with their younguns, to everybody who brought game consoles, and to the ACM (duh) for funding this mofo.

Feel free to peruse the photos below (and probably on the second page). For all the photos from this night's event, head on over to my F3^4 Flickr Photoset.

So, I think we can all agree: that was some LAN party!

This has been Agox, blogging to you live from the third floor of Duke. Good night, everybody.

여보세요 all! (That's "Hello" in Korean).

Chris Agocs here with the ACM LAN Party Live Blog. I'm sitting at the check-in table with my laptop, Office 07 open, taking names and taking money.

Playing now we have Guitar Hero (volume cranked to annoy the promgoers outside), Wii Bowling tourney, Halo2 fun, and Wolfenstein fun times. MarioKart is also here and set up, and will be played when guitar Hero moves outside at 7.

That's it for the liveupdate. More to come!

And that was the shortest ACM meeting ever

2007-04-03T16:47:00.000-04:00

Hey folks,
So, we had the shortest ACM meeting ever today. It was awesome. Also, two video guys showed up.

GeoCaching Rally has been cancelled due to the Programming Competition.

Design has been finalized now we need to find an affordable printer.
Party at Shannon's - 6:30pm on April 20th at Shannon's place and will be wicked awesome.
Flashlight- Prep time is taking longer than anticipated, so bring your containers next week.
Bylaws were discussed at the Officer meeting. If you would like to have a copy of what is going to be changed, then please email Ed.

Well, there it is. Comment if you got 'em, folks!

Another meeting? God!

2007-03-27T16:56:00.000-04:00
