    Waking up is the hardest part. An update on the awakening of the charity benefit LAN party and how to eat healthy and play video games.

    Waking up is the hardest part. An update on the awakening of the charity benefit LAN party and how to eat healthy and play video games.

    Two comments on the subject of regaining health. Firstly, we are in contact with the Shine Centre with regards to the 200-person LAN party local charity benefit. Secondly, a little listing on how to hold a healthy diet during a LAN party.

    There are many foods that are organic, high in energy and won’t make you crash, go hyper nor leave bad tastes in your mouth. This past weekend, Davin and I decided to try out different LAN party snacks that were healthy. This means, in place of the energy drinks and candy bars we usually consume, our drinks of choice were water, orange juice, cocoa and tea while our snack foods were a variety of textured finger-food vegetables, fruit and dark chocolate. Among others vague, we decided to try out at least one new way of consuming junk food.

    There is a list of yet uncreated sugar-high snack foods that SNP privately tracks. In the spirit of LAN party food, for there is a separate culture in this topic, Davin and I decided to try our once unimaginable “Bawlsicles.” The recipe, after several modifications, turned from popsicles made from differing layers of energy drink flavours to the simpler ice cubes frozen from guarana beverages. Thus “Cafficubes” were created and we posted a video of them on my personal blog, Jay Daily.com:

    It was a fantastic weekend us students had, to take a break from our courses and their respective summative assessments. Exam time is over and we continue to plot out the charity benefit in the peace of the aftermath which is our everyday school. I’m looking forward and I’ll be sure to update once a week as always. Good night and have a good semester high schoolers!

    We need a home for the big venue!

    We need a home for the big venue!

    Allow the image to stand hyperbolically but SNP needs a place to stay for the 200-person charity benefit venue. Recently turned down by several facilities, who must try to host 200 guests, has put a damper and setback on the big LAN party-slash-benefit Expect the earliest of this venue for April 30, 2010. Meanwhile this week, I team up with some locals to find out where to host this venue and in spirit of raising $5000 for the children at Kingston General Hospital. I suppose if you’re looking for a personal approach to the subject, one could say “think of the children,” because if this event is set up so many children will have their lives changed. I am updating to let you all know that it is time I head back to the drawing board. Any help is appreciated: miller [@] supernerdparty.com.

    We all study sometime. January is one of those months.

    We all study sometime. January is one of those months.

    Eying up the local churches for the next LAN party, I await for certain vacationers to return from their southern locations for meetings. What is for certain is that this event will come together fairly quickly once the location is finalized. With Super Nerd Party I hope to host 200 players for a charitable cause, which will be the Kingston General Hospital benefit. Official details will be posted next week on this, sponsors contacted then guests invited. I’m truly excited and now only one wall stands in the way of the fun: exam time.

    Every year high school students such as myself and many of you readers have exams in January and June. Hence I am taking a break right now from studying for my Spanish exam to report on the New Year goals. During the exam break many daytime contacts who are otherwise difficult to reach for a full-time student will be in touch with yours truly regarding the charity LAN party. With love from your fellow student, community member and organizer I wish you good luck for the new year, exams and work. Weekly updates now resume, vacation time is over.

    Here is a bit from a poster used by a partygoer on Deviant Art.

    While the community contacts are being contacted by our secret agent B., I have been creating the lists of materials the event will need, who will sponsor us, what to give away and how the community can get supported as much as possible through the event. On the side, advertising must be dealt with and seeing as Kingston has three major post-secondary establishments along with the dozens of high schools, it should be obvious which audience the campaign will reach.

    Print advertising is fun for an amateur graphic designer like myself, so I give the inspiration provided by Deviant Art the limelight. Along with print advertising will be other methods of spreading the word of the 200 person charity benefit LAN party:

    • Facebook.com
    • Twitter.com
    • LANPartyEh.com
    • ComputerPowerUser.com
    • IRC and GameSurge.net
    • Radio broadcasts
    • Newspaper entries
    • Kingstonist.com
    • Community Contact List

    All of these sources are possibilities for advertising the party once it is officially titled. I will be posting official advertising details once we are able to name the event in benefit of the charity chosen. The legal side of it is just being worked out this month. Until then, the work stays under cover.
