If I wasn't stuck in an icy version of NY I'd do my best to take a trip there. Always wanted to see the horror that was the SA offices. Guess I'll never have a chance :(


Seriously though Lowtax please sell whatever left over SA poo poo you have at the end of this. I want some nice Something Awful gear so I can get show off how internet cool I am to all these internet losers that I attend classes with. I'll trade you some beer for stuff!

But probably wouldn't have since I'm terrified of social interaction. Please mail me the SA sign. Thanks.

VISIT THE STICKIED GOON HOLIDAY CHARITY DRIVE THREAD IN GBS.

Goons are changing the way children get an education in Haiti.

Edit - Oops, no they aren't. They donated to doobie instead.

Yes astute reader. Lowtax posted it earlier in the thread, but he encouraged everyone to buy plat and new accounts to help keep the website (and not office) of somethingawful.com alive.

I'm too stupid to understand your joke.

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.

Wow, KC. I actually am in the area, if the cool kids don't mind a teetotaler baby goon showing up on Saturday. :shobon:

What, really? Well, I don't know how we'd handle contact info (IRC, maybe?), but if anybody can get to the airport, I can pick you up. 2012 Avenger, room for 2-4 (depending on mass :v: ), I'd just want some help on gas since going to KCI adds about an hour to the travel time.

Edit: You know, thinking about it, if you can swing a short-notice plane ticket to hang out with Lowtax for an afternoon, you can probably rent a car. Oh well. Just figured I'd offer, WWJD and all that. :)

This loving guy. Cancel the event lowtax cause if this guy shows he's definitely going to drop some catchphrases.

In a thread a few months back Lowtax said his Post-SA plans were suicide. Please goons. Go to the office and make sure he doesn't do anything rash.
