Well Gumby Fest '99 was an absolute blast and I think a success. For those of you that didn't make it...what can I say....you missed one heckuva party!! Everything ran so smooth that I kept waiting for something bad to happen, but it never did. It was great to put a couple more faces to the people we play with all the time.

Here are a few heart felt "thank you's" in no particular order:

• Bink for making a killer banner that made the Super Bowl commercials look like refrigerator art...

• dwelch for making the trip, setting us all up with internet access, and defending our CTF base like a beast...

• Sixxgunn and the Colorado boys (Horicus, ePiC, Muscles, Fett) for making a long boring trip cross country, bringing a server and tons of net cable, and providing us with a ton of "archival backup" files...

• ePiC for creating a kick butt web page...

• FireStorm for bringing the vid camera so we could get those cool advanced pics up...

• Bimbo for being the sole BWA and female player and putting up with a room full of stinky competitive boys, you are a doll...

• Bishop and Hannibal for representing VIO, and making the trip down south to join us even after a bit of "drama"...

• Hue for getting us the projection system so we could see what Quake at 12 foot by 10 foot looks like....

• Gldnboy, Muddier Dog, Stephanie, Beck, Ichabod, Vic, Shannon, Chito, Ben, Don, Yvonne, and everyone else that stopped by to say "howdy"...

• and Melissa for being there and not getting scared off by my game playing dark side....
