Hello to all the techies,

1.  It has come to our non-sportfan attention that the Florida-Georgia game is a \
common excuse not to attend the Mod Show.  OK, we would like to point out that \
Mudville Grill (a sports bar) is approx. 5 stores down from the Docking Station. The \
game starts at 3:30, if there is enough feedback we will modify the modshow schedule \
of events. 

2.  My computer isn't ready. 
hmmmm, we are sensing a tinge of fear :) Please understand the objective of the mod \
show is to foster unity in the technical community on the common ground of hardware. \
A bit of smack talk is anticipated, but comradery is expected. Modding is becoming \
more mainstream in the gaming community and what better way to show the technical \
competence of Jacksonville than to bring together all the garage modders for tips, \
tricks, and a bit of cash :)

3. My computer isn't good enough.
WHATEVER \/\/! As computer enthusiasts and/or professionals, we have written code, \
implemented a network solution, or (fill in the blank) that can not be improved upon. \
There is always room for improvement. There is always a beginning. We have an entry \
that is a purchased case with window and an LED in there. At this point, that person \
has a good chance of winning $50 in the best window category.


4.  I don't have a modded computer.
But do you want one? Are you interested in the elctronic supporting hardware of your \
beloved? How can you make it sexier? How can you make it stronger? How can you make \
it faster? We, as a group, have the technology. We can rebuild the gray outer shell \
into something better. We can tweak the inner workings to dance the electric dance \
that is computing. (Can we get any sillier?)

OK - We have two sponsors at this point. We were asked for pictures and a summary \
from other sponsors that did not understand modding. We are hoping to make this an \
annual event and grow out of the Docking Station into a larger facility. We are \
hoping to have larger cash prizes as well as more donated prizes. Home Depotis \
interested in this event. Maybe we could get a bunch of Dremels :). The success of \
this event is fundamental on whether there will be future events of this type ( at \
least from firstcoastmods ).

So what's your excuse?
It's free to enter
The more techies that show, the more we can collaborate
The tv football game isn't far away
Docking Station is having some kind of gaming event where they are staying open all \
night. We are working on if you bring your own can you stay.

Whew what a rant:),

The name says it all
