Really Shawn? You place the banner for RTX after I get back from my vacation down in Texas? Are you cereal?

Have fun getting sunburned!
It's near 100 up in Iowa, so it must be hitting 120s down in texas.

SPF: Halolz edition. Feel like Captain Falcon while also not being burned by the sun. Side effects may include: Looking too handsome, urges to punch things, and in extreme cases, the sun explodes due to your awesomeness.
Good news: you only need to buy it once.
Bad news: you just blew up the sun, eventually killing everything and everyone on the planet.

So you too live in Iowa... If you live in Ames I'M FREAKING OUT MAN!

Also Iowas got more humidity generally then Texas so... it balances out.

I feel it important to point out that, once again, YOU POST NEWS THAT CAN BE SEEN AT ANY TIME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR WEBSITE.

If you stuck it on the left side I'd understand, but this is the right side we're talkin' 'bout.

Edit: And good luck in Texas. Don't forget your nuclear-powered AC and SPF eleventy billion sunscreen.

I think it works the other way round? Like, the latest post tagged 'news' shows up in the widget on the right.

I mean, that's what I always assumed.

Nah, it appears in the widget for a while then on the day of the event or the day before the event, it shows up as a news post. This one was up on the right for less time than most events though.

From a logical standpoint, it gives him one more thing to keep the traffic of Halolz flowing before the lack of forums deters most of us to just starting our own Halolz-variant website with forums.

I met him at Acen. Asked him about the forums. And most likely, made him never want to go ever again.
Edit: I also don't think it helped that I had two fairy plushies from LoZ on a stick with an MP3 playing "Hey Listen" over and over again on loud speakers.

We have a few, just none exclusively for video games or the internet. Hell, the biggest Sci-fi/Fantasy/Anime Con in New Orleans is CONtraflow and it's only in it's second year.

I wish that these events come closer to middle states.

It's either Vegas, LA, Austin, Dallas, Orlando, Hollywood, or NewYork. Sometimes its in Chicago, but most likely no.

A shame you didn't tell us sooner or put it in Convention Appearances, I live in Austin. :T

But I'll still be outside at the Creature meetup! :D Red River & Cesar Chavez, 6 pm, if anyone reads this.
