This year at PKE Surge 2009 (Dragon Con) we will be awarding the Crunch awards to Ghostheads attending the convention. Winners will recieve a CRUNCH bar trophy expressing thanks to his or hers contributions to the community. These awards will range from the uber silly to the thoughtfully usefull recognition from the community at large.

Most likely to ask for an award award

Some ideas though since you said silly:

Biggest Smartass of gbfans.


and ill think of some more later

[Goosebot]

ive got the tattoo award locked down.


we should rip off the Dundies from the office and just have an awards thing at one of the bars. then karaoke.

[Boomerjinks]

Ironman award for heaviest pack.

Or lightest.

I saw we do a fireman-type race for suiting up, person that can get into their suit, boots, belt, and pack the fastest.

Also, categories for Ecto-excellence.

Also, in reference to old Huey pilot vets and the chrome jesus nut, there should be an award for the person to travel furthest to reach the con.

[Borzou]

I think the iron man challenge should be maximum pullups, pushups, and squats one can do with a proton pack on.

There will be two types of awards given. Gold and silver classes for specific award types. We will post pictures in the near future once they have been completed. Start saving some money...this is not a year you want to miss!

Now if only we could use these $80 Crunch Bars:

[Gareee]

Just think how bad it would smell after being on display at home for a few years!

You'd have to eat it, and restuff it with a piece of foam.

(And leftover pack foam would be appropriate!)

[bradboss12]

mmmm--that looks good! As for saving money, it ain't happening. We cut down our Direct TV, Internet, stopped the 401k and savings, and we are still struggling with bills. : (

[Gareee]

What is this "saving money" you speak of?

I'd love to go, but when I looked at the admissions price, I ran away screaming.

$20 / per day is pretty good.

This is a big convention.. I think they charge more for my local convention and I don't think anyone goes to it.

[bradboss12]

The SCGB's are going to our local Steel City con. AJ's right, $20 isn't bad--its the hotel/flight that is stopping me from going...

[Gareee]

Can you buy just one day? If so, we could just day trip it down n back (just a hair over 2 hours drive). Qe could get the tickets, do the parade, do a bit of the con, and then head back home, or hang out with the gb guys for dinner ofr something.

Is anything special needed for entering a car in the parade, since I can cobble something together for our tiburon in a few days?

(Think a white tiburon, with a roof rack, maybe some lighting of some kind, and gb logos on the side.)

Not much, but better rhen nothing.

[kind2311]

Hook, you never cease to amaze me.

To all those who are asking, these shall be EARNED and not given away lightly.

with the exception of "most likely to ask for an award" award

[AJ Quick]

But fun sized Crunch bars will be available.
