So, just to keep everyone in the loop as it pertains to CBT events, the video here is from our first LAN Bash. For those who are unfamiliar with what LAN is...
Well it stands for Local Area Network. So imagine, a room with 20 computers all linked together to play a video game, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, or World of Warcraft. This event was a huge hit and a lot of fun to plan and take part in. I'm not going to lie though, it was hectic and took quite a lot of work to make happen. The end product was amazing though, and I guess that's all that really matters, right?
After LAN Bash, we had our Grand Opening! This event was even crazier to get together, since it was an all day event with several different activities. We had program presentations by professors, business to business networking time, an amazing, young politician cutting a ribbon and giving a speech for the ages! Finally, we had one of my favorite musicians, a local legend in the Miami rock scene, James Partridge. For those unlucky few who have never heard James' music, he was the front man for bands such as 16 Gauge, Twice the Sun, Forelle and The Mauxms. He has more recently done solo work through projects called Translucia and Jimmy Whisper. Seriously, do your ears a favor and look for his music! Jimmy Whisper, the Mauxms and Forelle can all be found on iTunes.
One other great thing I forgot to mention about our events was the free food!! Who doesn't like free food? I'll be honest with you all: I love food! I am a food connoisseur, chef and critic. So, whenever I have the opportunity to get great food for free or even share great food with others, I am overjoyed. We have had everything from sushi, to delicious sandwiches, to ChicBerry frozen yogurt. By the way, if you haven't joined in on the new dessert craze that is self serve frozen yogurt shops, you should start now! In this new era of healthy food and living "green", self serve yogurt bars have replaced the Cold Stone and Marble Slabs of the world. ChicBerry is amazing! If you live in Miami, it's right across the street from FIU's Modesto Modique campus, right next to the Wendy's.
Alright, so enough about the past. Let us now focus on the future! We are looking to do big events every month here at CBT West Kendall, and the next one on my planning list is a Madden 11 Tailgate Tournament. This event is tentatively scheduled for mid August and will follow the format of a traditional Madden Tournament. It's going to have the feel of a tailgate, with the main attraction being Madden! So, after tailgating in the parking lot, you don't just get to watch the game, you get to take part in it! Best of all, it's all free!!! There will be prizes and music in addition to the gaming. I will pass along more details as I get them!
