[UPDATE]Dallas NARP: Bacon And Beer And Fairs, Oh My![UPDATE]
DtoidAustin | 10:49 AM on 10.08.2008 18 comments




Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm back, and with good reason! Us Texans are preparing to gather up in what might be our most epic NARP ever! Why the most epic? Because I said so goddammit. Firstly, the NARP is going to be not this weekend, but next weekend, October 17-19. It will be at DVDDesign's apartment in Dallas, with overflow at Blehman's apartment.

Why would you want to come to this occasion? Well, for one we're going to be drinking tons, if you're into that thing. I'm betting you are. As Blehman said, never pass up a chance to see Drunkskin in action. We'll also be playing lots of vidya games. All three current-gen systems will be present, along with the full Rock Band kit and a shit ton of RB/2 DLC. Also, DVD has a 60" TV. I think he's compensating for something. Finally, we're going to the Texas state fair! I know, why would a bunch of nerds want to go stand in the heat all day? Well, because we want to track down the legendary Chicken Fried Bacon. Yes, Chicken Fried Bacon. I guess there's some other shit you can do at the state fair too, but, whatever.

I don't want to say too much, because we don't know if the timing is going to work out, but this NARP might actually be sponsored by something that has recently become a big part of DToid culture. What am I talking about? You'll just have to come to find out. Or read my mind, if you're able to.

**UPDATE**

I have been able to confirm the timing, and thusly reveal our sponsor. The founder of BaconSalt has recently contacted DToider CountingConflict, and is shipping him some BaconSalt swag and promotional material which will be at the Texas NARP. I know, I am amazed too.

**UPDATE**

This will be fun. I don't like fairs, but I'm willing to give this one a shot.

Man...

It seems the Texas NARPs are in Austin when I'm in Dallas, and in Dallas when I'm in Austin.

That makes me a sad panda.

Though Dtoid NY is visiting scary, haunted places, you have a BaconSalt sponsor. We'll call it a draw.

Redzie's Destructoid Blog
I wanna go but my car's gonna get repaired over that weekend. FUCK!!!!!!
Rifter01's Destructoid Blog
@Redzie

..understandable bro.. My Honda accord was stolen earlier this year, (in April - I didn't get much insurance for it) and Nilcam (and a few others that know me) knows I have to have my g/f give me rides usually or borrow her car.

@All

I will try and make it if it is at all possible. No excuses. If I miss it I will miss alot and prob won't be able to sleep much until I can know for sure.. I want to bring my DS and/or 360 (360 arrived in repair shop yesterday), they said 2-3 weeks, and I'm hopeful I will get it back sometime next week since repair center is close enough..

If I go I want to also bring it and my small projector or small flat screen, it isn't a make it/break it kinda deal. I will decide sometime soon.

I dun expect any help getting around (expenses) coz I'll prob need more besides just gas to just get down there & back. I sooo want to make it to the fair, (I'm assuming most foods there are $5/ea..) & I have a grapevine Sega Gameworks card, coupon or two, and many other things (Jack in the Box FTW).. So, if anyone seriously wants to private message me with any offer/assistance, it would be considered, but I'm not expecting it.. Otherwise. I am willing to maybe even get a loan or do whatever else (my b-day is coming up, but I'm not likely to get anything much) but I'll figure something out day-by-day and do what I have to. Thanks.

Sadly, I will be missing yet another NARP. My roommate and I are participating in Extra Life here in CS.

Oh btw, you can get chicken fried bacon right here in your own backyard. A little place called Sodalak's in Snook. But the State Fair's a good place for it, too.
