BlizzCon: Afterword

Section: Geek

Jenn mailed off a bunch of our BlizzCon schwag to a guildmate of ours on the Silver Hand server yesterday. Using her technical skills, she grabbed some images of mailboxes from the game (the world of Azeroth has a mail system that puts the real world’s to shame):

The address label

I told her I was going to post that, since it’s so damn cool.

Jenn: You’re just determined to paint us as crazy geeks to the world.

Beau: Actually, the opposite. I want to show the world this is just normal fun. If we were all huge football fans and you sent Widge’s stuff off with Washington Redskins decorations, no one would think that was odd at all. And people pay more than $100 per ticket to go to a ‘skins game, and people there dress up and wear crazy makeup and so on. No different from BlizzCon, except the weather is worse, it lasts less time and the Offspring don’t play.

Changing the world through the power of blogging. Or something.

  1. Or as crazy geeks.

  2. Heh. I figured you’d dig the LoTR meets TPB page. I was actually thinking of you when I put that in the newspost on my page.

    The best part of that is the council at Rivendell:

    Elrond: “Ewiw jewewwewy. Ewiw Jewewwewy is what bwings us togethew…”
    Aragorn: “Fellowship. Say fellowship!”
    Elrond: “I now pwonounce you the Fewwowship of the Wing.”

  3. Just wanted to say that it was great finding a package with those labels on it waiting for me at the post office today (and I’m glad I didn’t ruin the surprise by reading this before I got it). Was an awesome idea, and Jenn did a great job on them. We may be crazy geeks, but it’s damn fun!
