Blizzcon, Website and Blogspot!

Well, I haven't blogged in about a month so I have quite a few things to tell you about. This might be a long one, so fill up your water bottle, grab a snack and find a comfortable chair.

First up is Blizzcon! As some of you might remember, my wife and I are enthusiasts for a certain video game you might have heard of, called World of Warcraft. The company that makes the game Blizzard has a convention every year called Blizzcon. Fans of all their games can gather once a year in Anaheim, California to demo new games, talk to the developers and get the inside scoop on upcoming updates to the games. Warcraft is a MMO game, which means Massively Multiplayer Online game and we play with a whole group of people. These groups are called guilds. Although we talk over the phone and the computer often, we used Blizzcon as an opportunity to meet 9 of our "guildies" in the flesh. We had a great time together at the con. Among the highlights was a trip to Medieval Times, Vanessa winning a WoW Soundblaster headset and the closing concert featuring the only band to ever play the definitive greatest song in the world, TENACIOUS D!

Another amazing thing that happened at Blizzcon was running into former long time CK-NJ camper Alexis C! Alexis attended CK-NJ from 1995 to 2001. That's seven unforgettable summers! She spotted me because I was wearing my official Campus Kids Tie Dye shirt. It was great to catch up with her and reconnect. We joked about the old days of CK and had a blast swapping Warcraft stories, too! All in all, it was a great trip and I'm glad I was able to go this year.

    In other news, there have been several updates to the website you should check out. First, there is our "Wear Your Campus Kids T-Shirt In A Photo Contest". All you have to do is wear your Campus Kids shirt in a photo. We expect great things from the contest. You can read the full details here. Second, the invitations to our 2010 Camp Reunion have gone out. You can read the info, get the directions and RSVP on this page. Also, I've added another video to the CampStock 5 page. We'll continue to add videos to that page throughout the winter!

    

The final piece of news this blog entry will deliver the introduction to the CK-New Jersey Blog on Blogspot! We will be posting all our entries now on campuskidsnewjersey.blogspot.com. We'll still be posting entries on the CK website, but on blogspot our readers can "follow" us and subscribe to the blog which will get them automatic notification anytime we update a new entry! Exciting times! Check it out!

Thanks for reading,
