Rubi-con 3 Write up By Surge9x (formerly Glitch9x) ---->Thursday<---- Left work at 7. Me and my bud Al left got grub, and headed to the ramada because I am a volunteer. I figured I would be doing some crazy wiring and so on, but people were scattered all over the face of the earth. Met NFF for the second time chatted for a bit and went home. ---->Friday<---- Awaken at 10 A.M. Get some grub, money, and clothes, Al swings by and we split. Arrive at the con around 12:15. Get my badge and wander for a bit. Met up with simon talked for a while. Decided to sit at registration with the others, cracked the bottle of vodka I possessed. I drank 2 really really strong drinks, and started to stumble around the con. Started meeting random people because I knew only a handful. 3 o'clock rolls around, me and Al decided to wander detroit and find some food. While ordering some salad from the tubbys down the street, a man took notice to my volunteer shirt. After repeating "Hacked this bitch Detroit Style" a dozen times to everyone he worked with, he then proceeded to tell me he would see me at the con. I hoped that I wouldn't see him. On the walk back, I thought I was gonna get robbed by some homeless folks asking for money "to get a bus, because they were stranded". From the way they looked, I figured a proper translation would have been "To get some rocks" or "To get me some Nightrain". Whatever. I returned to the Ramada to find that the power was up and running at the moment. Excellent! Too bad I didn't bring a computer to the con. (I am in need of a nice portable box/laptop). It was now about 6. I met Mr. Spitzner, he seemed very nice and technical, the way people should be at a con. After I met Lance, I then met Karl. However, I didn't know Karl was such a cool person. I then proceeded to wander around the con more. 10 P.M. Came. RijilV warned me that I had a 4 hour shift in the network room. He then told me I better get sleep. I told him sleep was for the weak even though I was tired. 1130 came, I tryed to get a couple minutes of nap on the "Oh so comfortable" couch in the lobby. It didn't work o well. 12. Fun. I decided that I would actually watch the network room. After about 25 minutes, I then learned it was almost pointless. There was about 10 people in there including myself. At around 2:30 I started observation of NFF. He was very plastered. Plastered is a definite understatment. Approximatly 330, I saw NFF take a swing at RijilV and then a quick dive into the floor. Pretty Fucking Funny. My laughs soon turned to concern when I saw them trying to pick NFF up and his eyes roll into the back of his head, kind of scary. After that, everyone sort of left the room and RijilV was spouting off about his great lawyer. He is a great lawyer from what I hear, and I will probably need him someday. After the EMS had taken NFF away, and I had informed Andrew knowing he is NFF's roomie, I wandered back to the Speaker room, where RijilV explained the badge theory. Black meant you were nothing. Clear meant you owned, Yellow meant you were somebody, and white meant you were down. He also told me I was his goto guy for the night and I was awesome, thanks RijilV lol. Then Ron Ulko showed. RijilV told me to handle him cuz I was doing a good job or something, I said hell no since I didn't know him. ---->Saturday<---- Still no sleep, its about 5. I got some red bull and chugged three cans in about an hour. Maximum wireage. I was wired til about 7. I realized I needed more caffeine so I went down to the cafe and started chugging coffee. I came back up and couldn't find Al, as a matter of fact, I hadn't seen him for a couple hours. So I decided to try to load some kind of OS on his box. I failed horribly, not knowing his bios pw. 8 rolled around, and I found myself sitting in the lobby with karl and darkcube talking on theorys of time and so on. I chatted with Karl for a while then he started falling asleep. So I walked around more. Me and tony were talking for a while and people were talking about registering. Finnally Jim brought down the badges and things, so at 9 registration opened. Little did I know that the next 6 hours I would be sitting here. For a little while registration was booming. At about 1 we ran out of badge cords (I dont remember the real name of them). So I started ripping apart some CAT-5 making the badges official "Detroit Style" In the meantime Al showed up. He crashed in some kids room and was going to get food. Tony and I both agreed he could pick us up some. 2 and a half hours later Al returned with food. Took him long enough, but little did I know that It would be from my favorite coney island. I was happy, I ate, and I checked into my room finnally. After my so fresh so clean shower, I thought why not take a nap? That didn't work, I wanted to drink. I found simon who had my vodka and said lets drink. He told me he didn't have the key to his and jims room and to find jim and get it. I went to Jim and he explained in a polite manner that he didn't know me well and didn't want me in his room alone, so RijilV went with, and I got the broken blender and strawberrys and mix. We went up to my room and I duct taped the basic "bejesus" out of the cracked pitcher. While RijilV was lying on my bed watching a bad video game made movie "Double Dragon" Simon showed up and I made the first pitcher of Stawberry Daquiri. He got 2 glasses of it for him and bubonic and said he'd be back. WOW! That first drink went down fast. I Drank 3 more pitchers in about an hours time and was barely able to walk. I then stumbled around the con without my shoes. Dont ask why. I found Karl and asked if he'd drink with me later. He said yeah get money and lets do. Finnally after two hours of sobering up me and karl went to the ghetto liquor store and got the contents for a Kick Ass drink. "Rubicon's Hard Lemonade" Very tasty indeed we would find out. It was so tasty that Brian had a sip and wouldn't give it back, so he bought me a beer. Actually he gave me some money and said buy a beer. Since the lady at the bar wasn't carding, everything was all good. After mixing some drinks and drinking them, I then mixed all I had in a 2 liter and went out the door to find Karl. We then went to go see NFF's T shirt contest with a sober NFF. We polished off almost all of a fifth in about an hour. I then returned to my room not being able to see straight. 5 minutes after sitting down, Karl came up and we started throwing some shit out the window. We wandered downstairs and I started passing out on the "Pass out couch". Security and Rich woke me up and told me "go to your room" So I did, and finnally passed out after 43 hours without sleep and lots of alcohol in my blood. ---->Sunday<---- Woke up. Packed My shit. Said bye to RijilV explaining to him how the con was to me in a few simple words. "I didn't learn much, but I was pretty fucking drunk last night". I left, went home, slept, and went to work in the morning. ---->Apologies<---- Sorry for my spelling, I am tired so F*ck Off Sorry for me rambling on, I am tired so F*ck Off And The ingredints for Rubi-con's Hardcore Lemonade is 1 part ice 1 part smirnoff citrus twist 4 parts faygo ohana lemonade Very tasty indeed, and very potent
