So here's what I spent today doing:

I know this will come as a colossal shock to many of you, but apparently I suck at this 'being broken up with' thing.

Does anyone know anything about VGA splitter boxes? Say, single input to 3-4 outputs?

I may have need of one some time in the next couple of months. Some tips on what to look out for would be appreciated.

The Functions Manager at the Fox got back from leave on Wednesday, and I was able to organise to go see their rooms on Friday afternoon.

( The Flapper Lounge and The Al Capone Room... )

Today was my chance to look around the areas at the Jubilee. ( It did not disappoint... )

Today I had arranged to check out my first candidate - The Elephant Lounge at The Hotel Orient ( Read more... )

OK, so my attempt to lock down a venue on the weekend didn't really go anywhere.

Instead I bribed Tracey into giving me a hand with a short list last night, and sent out some e-mail enquiries to the 8 most likely places.

Today I received the following responses: ( The Jubilee, Hotel Orient, Story Bridge Hotel... )

Green Day tickets go on Internet Pre-sale on Thursday.

Anyone want in? 4 ticket limit. $102 :/

If I'm not getting floor tickets, I'm gonna hold off for the general release next week. Anyone know how they do the seat allocations for these pre-sales?

OK, so after some consideration, it appears Saturday is the best option for gaming. The ManHouse Weekend is now shaping up as follows:

Wrestlemania XXV
TODAY, 1PM
Arrive from midday

We watch, hoping this will be grandest wrestling event of the year. C'mon WWE, don't fail us now.

Now that Wrestlemania is sorted (Friday, 1pm), Andrew has asked if we're still having a Games Night.

Since he's got Sat/Sun off work, we'd be looking at Fri or Sat night.

Who's up for a few hundred rounds of Death Tank games? Would we want to party on after the wrestling, or start fresh on Sat?
