Journals
I should have made a journal about this ages ago but it has simply skipped my chain of thought. It's not like it matters anyway, I'm sure the vast number of the people who actually attended the LAN wouldn't have spoken to me anyway. Not only because I'm a no-named noob but more to the point, I was locked in a cupboard for the entire time, with my coverage companion 
chosen.
You've all seen me in the numerous interview pictures, I'm the one with the stupid grin on my face with no arms. From about 8:30-9 AM everyday, I was either locked in that cupboard or was frantically running about the event like a headless chicken trying to find scores. This would go on to 4 AM, until myself and
Penn retired to our hotel room (No, man-love was not involved in the hotel arrangements, get a life 
sol).
chosen and myself tried our best to "dabble our brushes" into everything in terms of scores, interviews, match previews, post match reviews, fixture times and results. Anything you read on the site was done by either chosen or me. So that's regrettably why I wasn't able to meet a lot of people in our wonderful community. It's a shame really, since I'm such an awesomely fun guy. The few people I did meet seemed really nice and genuine, so that was a bonus for me.
The only time I did have a chance to sit down with some beer was on the Sunday night but by that time, almost everyone had gone. Still, for the few that remained (
cutty, Penn, Sheep, eVo, TosspoT, 
Adacore, chosen and a few others that have escaped my mind) it was a nice wind down from the event. It's just a shame so many people had to dart off so soon.
Anyway, that was pretty much my CDC experience. Nothing really interesting to be honest, it was a lot of hard work. Still, it was well worth it and I would recommend it to anyone that had even the slightest amount of time to offer. We're always under admined, that's were 75% of our problems can be traced back to.
So there you have it, my armless, smile inducing CDC experience in one short journal. That seems really sad to me. :(
