Invitation
Utter Chaos will be hosting a Winter-een-mas open house party Jan 25-27. Hooray! For those who aren't complete geeks, Winter-een-mas is a week-long holiday celebrating the fine world of gaming. This will be the fifth year that Winter-een-mas has been in existence, and our third Weemas party. (http://www.wintereenmas.com/)
Please feel free to drop in any time -- but keep in mind that during the earlier hours of morning (e.g. 4-9 or so) there may not be anyone awake to let you in. There will be as many different types of games as we can scrape together (we've got two Wiis and a XBox360. This will probably have Rock Band on non-stop, but if you have cool 360 games feel free to bring them.), and also snacks and such. There will be periodic food orders from local restaurants, and we should be able to provide crash space for people who wish to stay overnight (Bringing a sleeping bag will make this easier).
Some games will be generally available, and some are scheduled. To see the scheduled activities, go to http://wiki.utter-chaos.net/ucwiki/index.php?title=Winter-een-mas_2008. The schedule may be updated as Winter-een-mas gets closer. If you would like to GM a one-shot or organize any kind of schedule gaming activity, please reply to this email and give a quick description of what you would like to do and when. We'll post it on the schedule page.
If you would like to play any game (or have any RP books that may come in handy) feel free to bring whatever you would like. We strongly suggest putting your name on it.
If you have a Wiimote, feel free to bring it. DEFINITELY put some sort of label on it. Ours will be distinguished by various beads and such on the strap, etc. Same on your DS; many folks have 'em, many look the same.
