Argh! (AMD XPP story)

[mcp555]

I get to the parking lot in Baltimore a little late (6:20) along with a few other stragglers and they're already done giving out tickets. I don't get a t-shirt or anything else either. The thing literally finishes at 7 am sharp. Tired, cold, hungry, and grumpy. What a way to start out a Thanksgiving weekend. I guess there's always the last online contest... :frown:

Sucks that it happened, but, can't blame them for having to move on. Everyone else got there on time. Good luck in the contest, but, just a little less luck than me please.

Went to the one in Morrisville last week. What is the prize 51 that they were giving away? some sort of gaming system or something

It's a complete Falcon Northwest gaming system. tower, monitor, speakers, the works. Estimated retail value of $2600 I think. The thing that got me is I've seen posts from others at previous events and they were giving away tickets well beyond the 6:10 "cutoff". Rather frustrating.

Pffft. I was in B-more that morning after driving up from Fairfax. I was there at 5:30, got a ticket, and I didn't get a damn thing. OK, so I got one fingertip on a t-shirt. Boo!
