Lowtax: Nov 16, 1999; by Skyl3lazer

I've decided to close the SA offices (since there's only two of us working there now), so to celebrate and say goodbye, I'm having a Something Awful Open House this weekend. The office will be open all day, and I'll be giving away or selling fabulous merchandise, as well as a lot of beer and liquor. Come by, say hi, get free poo poo. Bring booze, drugs, and games! Here's our address:

Something Awful
220 N State Route 7
Pleasant Hill, MO 64080

Please let me know if anybody plans on coming, because if not then I won't bother showing up. I don't expect many goons live out around here (we're 30 minutes away from KC though), so I'm not exactly expecting a huge turnout, especially since this is last minute. Let me know!

Pretty sure nobody is showing up.

Only ~11 hours away!! I am definitely not coming, Lowtax.

this one funny post, it reminds me of every single other thread I've ever made about an event where people would post that they're not coming

Dear Lowtax, how long will you be at the offices tomorrow? I work about 20 minutes from your office, it would be cool to visit the forums place. Your pal, X-Ray

Probably most all day.

I've always wondered this too. Like, what is its purpose?

It used to be Garbage Day, who helps manage / create the front page content, Peatpot, who did the ads, and me, who did god knows what. It was easier to have an office to coordinate / do stuff than running it from my home and having people come in and out at all hours.

Does this mean SA is in bad financial straits?

It means I don't want to pay for an office that has two people in it.

It was probably a few years ago now, but I remember you essentially posting "You all suck, gently caress this place, I'm out."

It was over a decade ago, and I said GBS sucked. GBS is obviously very different now.

Lowtax, why did you stop selling goon merch? I would imagine that people would still buy it if it were around.

I'll eventually sell the stuff once I catalogue it and get my poo poo together.

I brought my dog with me to the office today, so whoever comes gets a bonus treat of seeing the official SA dog

Computers and corpses are a bad combination.

Also gently caress you to Ubisoft for ruining the Far Cry 4 cooperative experience.

Any relocation should be to the great Pacific Northwest, specifically Oregon. Come to the best state on the best coast. Clean, progressive, got all sorts of nature and poo poo, and weed just got legalized. Really, it is one of the closest things to a civilized place you can find in the United States.

I'm not going anywhere, my kids are here and I have joint custody!!!

lol joint custody :420:

I do have to extend my apologies, the combination of RATS, cats or death, and Evil Alien Conquerors completely drew away my attention from the forum, so I didn't catch any of the requests after my last post. Also, trying to get Buppy to stay in frame was a lot harder than I expected. Nothing usable, since she had the uncanny ability to dance out of frame any time I pointed the phone at her.

That said, I had a great time, so thanks to everyone there, and especially Lowtax. Wish we could do it again, definitely.

As a mild bit of compensation, here's the one other photo I did take, of the super-official Something Awful headgear I got. Hey, it gets cold in my part of Missouri, it'll be useful. Again, apologies for the indirect link.
