Aeryk -- what would you say to a post-GenCon, co-birthday-celebratory game day in Aptos* either 8/25 or 9/1? I can haul Enr0n with me and maybe Myke's sorry butt if he hasn't been killed by a) mafioso b) ghostly Centurions. The following rules will apply:
1. You will provide all food and drink.
2. All games selected by me and enr0n. If we want to play 2-player games against each other, so be it.
3. If we ask you to leave, you leave, immediately, no debate.
4. We have the right to use your vehicles and other property for any reason.
Sound good?
* We can meet up in WC instead if you so choose. This does not change the rules above. Additionally, a $25 convenience fee will apply.

Request Access...
...through the Minefold site. Pretty sure you need a Minefold account to play on the server. DO EET
PS Enron and I have already started! Since there is a range from start that the Strongholds can be found, I think it might be time to roughly pace the range in all directions, break down the search by quadrants, and git er dun.
Wow. Way to make a game like work, jerk.
PPS We should have a non-video Google+ hangout going when we play!

Mindcrap
I am always up for some Minecraft. I still pop into the Actionworld server on Minefold from time to time. Still a fun game. Yes and lately Latency has tanked with Mindfold. Hope they shore that shit up.
Punk memories... Going to the Reseda Country Club, I think to see LagWagon, Jughead's and Strung Out. The venue was super late opening and I was driving eLzar up the wall. I most have told him I was cold 200 times. I swear he was going to kill me. The show wasn't terribly memorable but eLzar fury was. I think this may be the show:
Driving down to SD to go see a Supernova show and seeing the van on the 5. I was all stoked and we pulled up next to their van and I got their attention smiling, thumbs up or whatever. I realized theye didn't get it and I did the "Hi-yaa" chop and the band went crazy in the van. Everyone popped their head to the window to see us. The we got back to SD and the crowd was totally indifferent to Supernova at the Soma. Booo... Still I got to see them once.
That Vagos show at the Patriotic Hall was wild. That theater was trashed afterwards. They must have known what they were getting into with that show. They didn't hire the Vagos for nothing. Unfortunately, the oversold the show, there was a riot outside, and inside the first five rows of seats had been ripped of their mounts and tossed up into the rows behind. I also think it may have been where I got into F2F. Also, I learned to hate PW. Mostly due to the "Unity" shitheads they drew. I do believe Chad was there too. Someone from the OG [AT] group talked to him at one of the Strat-cons. Probably Motobyke. I do believe Chad was one of the shitheads jumping from the speaker stacks. Probably had his rings on that time too.
I liked NUFAN. I really dug Leche Con Carne and some of their older stuff, but never really listened to much after that. A real shame about Tony Sly. The missus was pretty bummed about it. NUFAN was the first Punk album she owned, from before we even met.
jr0n, I still plan Diablo III from time to time. The story sucks chopper's balls, but it is a fun mindless grind game that can help me unwind after a spirit crushing day.

MineBortz
This is relevant to my interests.
I am still hopelessly addicted to World of Tanks. Stupid game is crazy fun. Not entirely realistic, no. But still fun.
I know there's also a mod that does some crazy treasure hunt requirement to solve puzzles, etc. Dunno if it can be done in multiplayer though.
Would be hella fun to go dungeon crawling with everyone!
I wish I lived closer. :(

Minecraft 1.3.1
So. Who's up for firing up another multiplayer server (probably on Minefold, though the latency SUX) and trying to play though to the END OF THE GAME?
I've been reading a little bit about it and to get there, you need to locate 1 of 3 underground strongholds located in EACH WORLD. And then do a bunch of other nom stuff to get to the ending. Might be worth firing up again if there is a purpose beyond building, which is of course fun too.
Maybe run it until I disappear when Mists of Pandaria appears on the scene. Yes, I'm into the stupid Panda/Far East expansion for WoW.
Minecraft, DO EET!

I didn't go to the fast food themed show but I remember hearing about it. Probably the Go-Nuts? They had a bunch of funny characters like the Dough-Nut Prince, I think. I never made it up to Gillman St! I remember being awed that you guys went there, lol. I did see the Queers up north when I was going to Santa Cruz. I think that was my first legitimate encounter with gutter punks. JP and I went to some really weird small shows. There was one in an almost empty bar where there was a dude shooting a needle into his arm in a photo booth. Yay, not getting murderized.
Noooo, you don't know what you want, it may take you years to find out, work real hard and motivate , team building it will swallow you... (cool break down part)
More memories: Vagos security/riot show - Offspring opening for Nofx, " LAPD Army For The Rich" tshirts -

Punk Rock Memories
I almost made a memories = mammaries joke, but then I thought better of it.
- Tony Sly. Sad. Welcome to old, everyone! A quick Wikipedia look up proved fairly inconclusive if it was Tony belting out 'DMV' on Incognito or not. Either way, sad, and while I liked NUFAN they never really hit it out of the park for me. However, their video for 'Soulmate' on the Cinema Beer-te tape has made an indelible mark on my punk rock memory banks. Girls, beer, snowboarding, tattoos, and punk rock - a recipe for happiness to my 20 year old eyes and ears!
- Handshake. I get what he's saying, but the choice of words and delivery "DO Miss the Train" (RIP - NUFAN, self-referential post ftw!). Even if it proves to be the greatest song of our times, it will always be a joke to me because of the visual treatment the UCLA Krew gave the lyrics "shun the handshake" at the end of the song. Good times. Speaking of UCLA, remember when we stole a campus golf cart, spun it out, slid the rim out from the tire and left it wedged sideways down a walking path a la Austin Powers, then fled the scene? That was some total First World Punk Rock Suburban Shenanigans right there, yo.
- Speaking of ridiculous songs, I think lyrics on the first Face to Face record were a bunch of nonsensical, garbage that essentially were a collection of soundbites mashed together to try and make for a compelling song and make it's listeners believe there was more to the band than there really was. Fast forward 22 years, hindsight proves that Face to Face were simply on the forefront of what their fans would all grow up and understand as 'Management Speak'. F2F did it better because a) their songs kick ass, and b) you only have to listen to the F2F Management Speak for 2.5 minute chunks rather than 1 hour conference calls or 2 hour meetings.
- JP Can't Come Over, Holophrastic, One Beer Mary, Joltergeist, Misguided Youth (ugh), were the Isotonic Fucks ever a name the UCLA Krew used for a band? Or was that on a band name sheet I found in my garage? Along with The Hans Olos...
- Leslie's out of town this weekend, any takers for some "Face to Face" (double self-referential post!) gaming at my place Sat to Sun? WARNING: there may be handshakes to be shunned.

Jabberjaw was great! I don't think I went to the show you mentioned, but I saw a couple really good shows there. The most memorable being the show with the fast-food, superhero themed band (what were they called?) that got into a pie fight on stage with their "nemesis". A whipped-cream pie hit me square on the chest. I was wearing a Third Planet shirt and it took about a year for the curdled milk smell to go away.
Our couple trips up to the Bay Area and Gilman street were really fun too. Remember when we saw Mr T Experience and they played the longest set ever? They kept saying "three more songs!" Then they'd play like five and say, "three more songs!" again.
I'm not too familiar with NUFAN, but I remember liking what I heard. I'll going to give them a listen today out of respect. RIP Tony Sly, a man who knew, that a handshake is nothing but a subtle "fuck you."

RIP NUFAN dude. Was he the singer on the first cd? I remember really liking that first Fat Wreck Chords NUFAN . I don't know if that was their overall first release or not, but it was great. I *think* I saw them once or twice, but that time is totally fading from my old man memory. Dude, we went to crazy punk rock shows back in the day! Did any of you guys ever go to Jabberjaw!? I remember JP and I being there one time seeing FYP and J Church. I don't know if that was all of us or just me and him but it was nuts. I could have been murderized so many times when I was a kid, jesus!

I have mixed feelings about BR's "Handshake." On the one hand, it's a ridiculous song. On the other hand, I love that they would write such a ridiculous song. Does liking the idea of the song mean I like the song? Or does not liking the song mean I don't like the idea as much as I think? Or if the idea is good, should I borrow Rude's 4-track again and record my own concept album of handshake songs done right? This is some great weed.
