The lights are on
Alright, so some of you may remember me talking about a big event coming or even mentioning something here, there, or everywhere. It's about time I let the cat out of the bag and try to get everyone involved in some way or another. Especially since I'll be giving out prizes. That's sure to get people interested.
The first annual Brotrip will be happening October 7th through whenever the heck we all get tired of each other. What exactly is it? Well, it's a get together of a bunch of veteran members who hang out all the time on XBL. We've been friends for years now and decided to take it one step further and have an orgy. Of awesome.
This has been planned for a while now and it's finally come to fruition. We tried last year when we were invited to E3, but there simply wasn't enough time, energy, or money to make it happen on such short notice. So, with a big house that I live in by myself, I said to everyone that they're more than welcome to come hang out for a while and we'll even head to Orlando to check out all the sights and sounds down there.
So you're probably asking yourself "What does this have to do with me?" and "What about those fabulous prizes you mentioned?" and "What the hell is that smell?".
To answer your first question, it has a lot to do with you. We're going to be doing a lot of various things to get you guys involved. I'll be personally doing a few forum games based on our hilarious hijinks. I'll also be handling a spooky, fun video game Stream the first night everyone is here. Treestump will be recording a whole lot of footage to possibly make into a movie or a big ass vlog. That's up to him. I'm not really sure what everyone else will be doing because that's up to them.
Secondly, the forums games are still being figured out, but they are most definitely coming. The only definite one right now is the Shuffle Off. Everyone will be bringing their MP3 players and we'll be having a contest to see who has the best taste in music. We will be voting for each others music, but will also want you guys to vote too. As of right now, I think the way that game will be handled is whoever guesses who wins and has the closest number will win a prize. I'll be hammering that part out
Depending of what everyone thinks, I'll also be doing a daily vlog and random videos of what we all do. Not to impose on what Stump is doing, but it'll be more of a behind the scenes kind of thing anyway.
Finally, I have no idea. Febreeze it, baby.
There you have it. Ask me any questions if you want. I'll be posting more in this thread when the dates get closer with more specifics and information. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.
Whatever the fruit that means.
The closer we get to the dates, the more I'll update this thread with links and announcements.
Sounds interesting.
Why doesnt everyone just have a giant chat session? Less chance of somebody getting eatten...anyways. That sounds cool and look forwards to seeing what you guys come up with. :)
Kill'em with kindness, it's a slow painful death.

You jay.
For those of us unable to fly out to Florida, will there be a chance to join the fun over XBL or PSN? Could be fun to have a group of you guys playing in the same room on one team and the other team be GIO members playing over live.

Absolutely. If you seen me online playing a game send a party invite. If I can chat I will.
This reminds me of the BP Trips we use to make back in the day on another forum I was active on. A lot of the members lived in Chicago, and its a great city, so we'd always just meet up there. It makes for great times, some of my best friends I met that way. I actually just went that way to visit with them again in August. Unfortunately, this time around it didn't..... end so well. Lets just say pre-gaming the club with lots of vodka is an awful idea.
So, yeah! I sure do hope you guys enjoy yourselves! =D I'd love to participate in these festivities you guys are doing. Guess we'll see when it comes up, right?
I AM ERROR.
