[warwizard]

Up we go! Remember to include how many will be joining us for dinner!

[EaTCarbS]

...but i think we can find a bar or something after dinner if people still want to hang out!


Does it have to be a bar? I slightly lack the years required to enter such an establishment T-T

[Ellay]

Some bars don't have an age requirement, just if you want to actually drink they do. Were not going to leave one of our own hanging like that :)

I'll be there of course! Thanks warwizard for managing this.

[offive]

See you next week, both of us will be there.

[Iceorbz]

You guys better make some t-shirts!

[EaTCarbS]

Oh, the excitement :D

[Lunarsunrise]

can we have live stream of the dual boxing dinner too?

[Ellay]

How would you live stream it? :P I don't think we have the tools ><

[Tonuss]

I'd love to see video of you trying to drop earthbind totems when the waiter brings the bill!

[Ellay]

[Ellay]

[Lunarsunrise]

LOL I live in SD so not far to go up there for a night or something, though not going to actually go to Blizzcon but want to meet fellow boxers.

I can't bring my boxing team with me that's why I am going solo hehe.

[Marious]

Blizzcon schedule is up. Contests end at 9:30pm on Friday. We will head towards CPK when we have had our fill... I don't remember the song comp last year. I think I could pass on that but I don't know if that will be last. Hopefully Blizz will smooth out the pacing of the contests.

http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/events/schedule.xml

Sending warwiz a PM with cell number.

[Marious]

So I assume that the Pizza place is the one right next to convention center and disney right off the 5 On west Katella Ave? Crap hope I can find parking, probably a good thing that I am going in the afternoon, probably impossible to find any parking in the evening near there.

[Ellay]

The schedule looks pretty good! I don't think the last batch of t-shirts ordered will arrive in time for everyone :( so I'll be taking names and sending after the event.

Getting supa pumped, maybe it's time for another picture!!

321 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA‎ same place as last year. However they close at 11pm and its a litle hike from the Convention Center. Lots of parking in the parking structure.

Tip for badge pick up... we got ours late Thursday evening right at close and there was no line.

Yea. Thats where it is. There is a sorta strip plaza thing there and a parking garage attached on the cross street, I believe. There are other places there as well like PF Changs and I remember there being a lot of exterior lighting, so it should be decent to find.

You think you could take orders and sell them to us travel-inhibited folk?

[Ellay]

Ya that sounds like a plan :)

[warwizard]

I called and confirmed the reserveration at CPK, Its under Justin, 20-25 people @9pm.

We need half the group there by 9pm for them to seat us. Please try to come early!!!!


Also Ellay are you going to setup a twitter account for this?

[Suvega]

Me and Vyn will be there.

[Ellay]

My twitter account is Aellidb, I couldn't think of anything else that was short that wasn't taken, hopefully that is easy enough. I guess I should make a sticky for all this! :)
I'll be twittering a lot woot.

[Multibocks]

cool I will actually have to sign up for twitter, lol.

I can't wait for tomorrow, hope the expansion news is worth the wait!

[Majo]

Hey guys. I've been out of the loop for awhile, stopped multiboxing but I'll be going to Blizzcon. I'd be way down to come to the meetup though if that's cool. Also a local if anyway wants suggestions or a tour guide. ^_^

Twitter is Jophn. If we're doing texts though that's better, I'll PM wiz.

[Souca]

I'll be tweeting myself. Bagerror.

Ellay, I've got you followed, and you should feel dirty. ;)

[kadaan]

Got my goody bag! Even though the noobz is cool, I think I liked last year's bag better. It was fun digging through it to see all the Blizzard themed swag like the zerg creep and Diablo Sin-a-mints. This year it's just the noobz and another authenticator.

Are you serious? The goodie bag is down to two items? I'm picking mine up tonight around 7 and if thats all there is then it's pretty sad. The goodie bag is like half the con!

Jumping in the car now,

Add me on twitter

WarWizDB

or SMS me using my google phone number!

See you all tomorrow!

Here's some photos of everything that was in it:

[jettzypher]

im thinkin of buying the ticket to live stream this so i can get my hands on that cool lookin pet...

[kadaan]

Worth noting that the code you get for the pet is for your BATTLE.NET ACCOUNT. So if you have all your accounts linked to the same battlenet account, ALL your characters on ALL your accounts get the pet! :D

[Souca]

The goodie bag is mostly advertisements and discounts this year. The main goodies of note are:



Noobz Action Figure
Murloc Pet for battle.net accounts
Blizzard Authenticator
Hand Sanitizer
World of Warcraft Mini Magazine and Plush Murloc coupon

I imagine that the action figure takes up a lot of the budget for the bags, but definitely not as exciting as last years.

Are these going to be a Blizzcon event shirt, or will you set up to sell on DB.com? Willing to buy with shipping costs and donations added.

I tried adding Aellidb and twitter couldnt find it. Am I missing something?

[Khatovar]

I tried adding Aellidb and twitter couldnt find it. Am I missing something?

Ditto. I caved in to Twitter just for you and you psyched me out! *sniffle*

Wow, that sounded kinda psycho. :p

[Svpernova09]

If you don't want to watch twitter, I've set up both Souca and Ellay's feeds to pull to a special Blizzcon forum, it checks for updates every 10 minutes.

[EaTCarbS]

I think when I get there ill hold up a sign that says "D-B.com" :D

[Ellay]

so far it's been pretty awesome meeting people, which is why I came there. It's hilarious having people walk up to me asking if I'm the real aelli :P

[Antivirus]

Thanks Guys had fun meeting you all. I'm sure i'll see more of you at the Con :)

[EaTCarbS]

aye, good times :D

[Souca]

Thanks Guys had fun meeting you all. I'm sure i'll see more of you at the Con :)

See, I knew I'd seen one of your posts!

And I did manage to get my helmet and make it home despite the motorcycle battery being dead. Now I just need to get past insomnia.

[Lunarsunrise]

where are the photo's?!

[kadaan]

I didn't go to the DB meeting, so I don't have photos of that, but I do have some general photos from Blizzcon here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kadaan/sets/72157621972657053/

I also noticed someone in one of my photos wearing a dual-boxing.com tshirt! Who is this?! :D

That's hillarious. I remember when you took that shot. That's Ellay in the front. Kyle is behind him in the blue. You can sorta see the red of my shirt in the background as well. I think that's Kevin's head in between the elves.

[Crayonbox]

Well, sonovabitch. I totally missed the dinner at the CPK because I was watching the costume contest and lost track of time.
Wanted to get a chance to say hello to ellay and the others at least but looks like that will have to wait for next year. Hope you all had as much fun as I did :)

[Ellay]

haha that's totally me, I'll be putting up the blizzcon pics later we had a blast.

[Antivirus]

You better :)

[Antivirus]

My photos are up on my facebook. Friend me if you like!

I can't find my plug in to my pc, gonna go buy a new one today so I can get these pics up , ugh!

[Tonuss]

You mean you don't have a stack of extra cables in a desk drawer just in case?

Turn in your geek badge, please. And no commotion this time. :cool:

[Ellay]

haha, I brought the card reader usb plug with me on the trip. I think I lost it at the hotel or something, I planned on uploading the pics at the room but it didn't work out like that. They'll be up by tonight though, will stop by a Best Buy so everyone can see the big turnout we had :)

[Antivirus]

I have quite a few except the group picture up on my facebook. It was a lot of fun :)

[kadaan]

I think your Facebook album is private, when I click your link it just says:

It is. All you have to do is friend me. I tried opening it up but then you just get spam invites
