FieldCon

FieldCon was quite epic, i will give a decent rundown of what happened.

Friday
nathen and sunni met at my house and we packed up all the supplies and hit the road. the drive was not too bad, and we only got lost once due to misreading the directions. once we got there we started to unload the suv when people started yelling "wood run!!" so myself and nathen piled into the punch van with 12 other people. we had people hanging out the side doors and everything. when we arrived at the spot to gather the wood we first went and attacked the mech, after which we loaded the van up with wood and then all attempted to fit with a van full of wood. we ended up with 2 people on the roof of the van, people wedged on top of the wood in the back and myself standing on the back bumper holding on to the handle of the open back door. on the way back we hit speeds of 75 mph and i will tell you, that is really fast when the only thing keeping you from meeting the pavement is the handle of an open van hatch. when we got back we set up camp and i got the stew cooking. after a few hours i had the stew at a boil and it was time to light the bonfire. we gathered around and in fieldcon tradition passed a bottle of wild turkey 101 around for everyone to take a shot of and then set the fire ablaze. we had lots of fun playing with the fire and telling con stories. then at about 3 it was time to turn in so i put lots of wood on the stew and went to bed.

saturday
the bugs woke me up around 5 and i was not able to get back to sleep so i got up and tended to the fire on the stew and sat around, after a few hours people started to get up and around noon we ended up gathered together just chilling because burline had injured his neck some time in the night and was waiting for painkillers to work. around 2 people went on a booze run and nathen asked if i wanted anything. i was playing kubb at the time and jokingly yelled "yeah, a bottle of crown". so after about an hour of kubb i wondered over to our camp and took a short nap at the picnic table and was woke by the sound of a bottle of crown being sat beside my head, i could not believe it! so around this time people gathered together to get ready to play battle royal. the basic idea of the game is everyone was given a random item as a weapon and each item had special abilities. the rules were all explained and we all hiked up to the starting point. when we got there people were given there weapons in a random order and given 30 seconds before the next person was given theirs and sent into the woods. my item was a tennis racket that could be used to deflect projectiles instantly killing the person who threw it. i ran into a few people on the path to the final battle area and we decided that i would go through the woods and attack from behind and they would make a distraction. when i got around there one of them was already dead and the other was being chased! they ended up jumping over me in the chase and did not even see me so i went to find the DVD- the only weapon that could kill nathen because he was invincible. roman ended up killing nathen by removing his mask and came up the hill and saw me standing there and went to throw his fans at me and i swatted them away instantly killing him and i was the winner! after this we went back to camp and i took a short nap before the pool of bukakke came out. this was quite a show, people wrestling in fake jizz. after that finished it was time to pass around the bottle of leftover anime punch and light the fire! we played a few games of live action duck hunt, where 2 people are ducks and 2 people are hunters. the hunters are given roman candles with which to shoot the ducks. after a few games of that people decided just to shoot each other with them at 10 paces. and i ended up having a fireball go right past my head as i was watching. after this it was about time to break out the alcohol, and that we did. there was plenty being passed around and consumed. it was quite nice i must say. i ended up talking with cori until about 5 in the morning when she went to bed and i wandered around the campsite cleaning up some of the trash. at around 6 i went to bed.

sunday
i was awaken at noon when nathen and sunni pulled the rainfly off the tent allowing the sun to bake me. we cleaned and packed up the camp and loaded everything into the suv. we said our final goodbyes and headed out. when we got back to my place we unpacked all of my stuff from the suv and i got everything into the house.

the weekend

Welcome to friday everyone! Today i come to you from Four Reasons in lancaster, it is a small coffee shop and deli and feels very warm and inviting. i am sipping on a double cappachino and reading up on my tech news. i am here because i have a job interview today! thats right, a job interview. sitting at home was killing me so i decided to come on up here and enjoy some coffee and wait on my interview. later today Nathen Sunni and myself are leaving for fieldcon and it should be epic! i got some stew supplies, including about 10 pounds of beef, 20 pounds of potatoes, 6 bags of carrots, several bell peppers and several onions. it should be quite tasty. i am going to cook all this in a large cauldron (its about 15-20 gallons) and i will be sure to post pictures of it when i get back. the whole event should be quite fun.

the end of fetishchan

at this point, due to the theft of the godaddy account for the domain name and the lack of a place to host fetishchan, it is unlikely that it will ever come back online. i am currently looking into hosting plans to get a similar site online but sadly it looks as though fetishchan has gone from me for good, oh what a cruel mistress she was...

if your interested in helping either recover fetishchan, or can help in some other way such as hosting, linux setup, linux scripting, linux security or anything else you think might help, please email me at amaya.geek@gmail.com
