Here are some pics from SummerCon 2004; the first few are of me, Andrew Widdowson (TIA's producer), and Lord Isildur doing our TIA brodcast. The show went really well -- WRCT has recently gotten a badass digital codec that transmits over a 28.8k modem, which was how we were linked back to the station. We made a recording at the station and I'll try to get it online soon. I ended up missing most of the sessions on Saturday except for Lazlo Harz' talk on random numbers. I think the Wardriving contest was not as successful as last year. The only major run in with the law was when Mark (one of the organizers) fell down in the street at about 2am on Friday and then Mr. Mansfield jumped on him, pretending to shag him... they ended up with disorderly conduct citations for "simulated sex act." And then Chris Tracy fell off a 6 foot wall in the parking lot Saturday night, landing more-or-less headfirst on the pavement. He got taken to UPMC Presbyterian to be checked out but I think he wasn't seriously injured. I think they've decided with pretty high certainty that they're going to try have SummerCon in San Francisco next year. U: Chris Tracy broke his collarbone and bled in his brain slightly and was kept in the hospital for an extra day or two for observation but is OK. |
