Hello, Future Competitors...

Much debate has been had and challenges have been laid forth over who is the TRUE KING OF DEFINITELY-NOT-JENGA. The score shall be settled at the Con of Mangoes in Rochester, NY.

So I extend to you an offer: compete in this single-elimination, winner-take-all tournament to crown a CHAMPION!

All you must do is respond to this message, declaring your intention to enter this noble tournament, and you shall be entered.

Brackets shall be made, seeds shall be determined, and one person shall emerge from this test of skill, balance, and strategy as the KING OF WE-CALL-IT-TOWER-BLOCKS-FOR-LEGAL-PURPOSES!

See you at the Con of Mangoes...

Flying in Wednesday! Arriving just in time for beers, actually.

@Minion-Queen yes, and it should read "WELCOME TO THE JENGADOME!!!!"

Is Tina Turner available to MC?

MC Hammer does talks. I'm not kidding.

That would be awesome, can't touch that.

I've heard his speaking engagements haven't been going well, but he's too legit to quit.

@RojoLoco said in Who plans on Attending MangoCon 2017?:

@ChrisL y'all should bring a Bluetooth speaker or something so the Jenga competition can have a soundtrack.

So basically something that will be able to withstand having "The Final Countdown" blasting out of it for 8+ hours?

Youtube Video

Taught that kid everything he knows.

LOL - yea,... I'd like to see you flick CoLo Jenga like that.

You gotta soccer kick one of the pieces to get the same effect.

Jenga

You don't want none of this.

@RojoLoco Mostly, I just want one giant RTJ + Big Boi album.

@ChrisL said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Listening to Big Boi's new album "Boomiverse"

How is it? I haven't heard any of it yet.

Not as good as "Sir Luscious Leftfoot" but maaaaaybe above "Vicious Lies..."

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Taco Bell!

I'm so sorry.

Listening to Big Boi's new album "Boomiverse"

Uptempo rap and pro wrestling theme songs.

Le Croix

No I haven't. And my first thought would be - ah no. But looking at the ingredients - maybe. I don't like artificial sweeteners... and honestly - they don't like me either.

You don't like artificial sweeteners but you drink Mountain Dew?

They have it with natural sugar!

True, but when you're downing 40+ grams of sugar, the artificial vs. natural debate kinda goes out the window, especially in a discussion of weight loss.

@gjacobse said in Fitness and Weightloss:

I know that if I addressed the 'rock in the room' I would do a lot to address my issue.... Some days I drink two cups of coffee and then two - three 20oz bottles of Mountain Dew.

Not enough water or other - no really a water fan...

Have you tried stuff like Le Croix or other flavored carbonated waters? It'd give you that same fizzy feeling without the calories and plus the hydration.

@ChrisL Missed the AMA, but I would also be interested in hearing about the options and pricing for lower U plans on the East coast. (in PA or NJ) if you guys get into that.

Absolutely! It'd be the same as our current colo offerings, which starts at $75 for 1U.

Even though the scheduled AMA is over, I'm still around and willing to answer any questions any late stragglers might have

Favorite part of MangoCon 2016?

Meeting everyone and getting to put faces to handles.

Least favorite part: being abruptly woken up at 3 a.m. with a camera in my face and a room full of people.

HA HAHA I forgot about that part

Is @ChrisL on an episode of cops?

Thankfully, no. I don't think they ever released the footage though-- everyone came back from the bar and @SamieWalters let them in our room after I called it an early night. Got startled by an audience and a bright camera.
