Well my day two coverage is actually being written on the morning of day three. It’s amazing how the hours and days seem to blur together at an event like this. I overheard Yellowbeard from Corsair saying on the phone “We’ve been here all weekend” when he had actually been here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and we laughed about it afterwards. I guess you had to be there.

Speaking of being there, here’s me at the event set up next to the Corsair rig within the Intel booth. We’ve had a LOT of people come check out the booth and of course it feels good to show off my hard work in person to people. No one even raises an eyebrow when I tell them that between 8-10 hours goes into a machine like the Dream Machine.

Me again with the Dream Machine and a lot of the swag that Corsair showed up with. They’ve actually got Corsair branded energy drinks, which have been a big hit along with the Intel chair pillows.

Thankfully our Intel guy, Ross, was kind enough to provide me with one of these. The chairs here look okay at first, but you sit down for a while on one and it starts to be not fun.

Now when I arrived I was very confused to see all of the staff with pink hair. My natural assumption was that they wanted to be highly visible in case people needed help. Actually it’s in support of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. At 4pm on Friday they brought out the shavers, and every one of the staff members shaved his head.

nVidia also generously offered $1000 per shaved head in addition to the staff members up to $10,000. This Tech Tips host was very impressed and decided to do his part by getting his head shaved too. I didn’t clear it with the girlfriend, so we’ll see how that conversation goes when I get home. :p

Here’s everyone who went bald all together. Thanks to everyone here (including the girl who paid $160 to shave the event organizer’s (Gil’s) head, Fragapalooza raised more than $15,000 for breast cancer research. God knows a bunch of guys like us want to preserve as many breasts in this world as we can.

There have been other neat events like a wall sit for an nVidia video card. I’ll be covering that in an upcoming Tech Tips. Apparently there is also a dance-off today and you can bet there’ll be some good footage from that. Stay tuned!
