This was my very first BBS event and I'd say it was the best.
I'm believe this was in the fall of 1993 but I may be mistaken. I remember all of us on STS (Starpoint Technology Station) were trying to think of an event and we came up with the idea for a football game. So there was this HUGE argument on the board between Baudbrain and Keith/Nads/Hackmaster Jr about each other beating up the other.
The football game itself was at Kenney Field in the Town of Tonawanda (where the airplane is) and the day of the game it decided to rain and rain all day! It turned out to be a huge mud bowl. We were sliding around in the water and basically got covered in mud. The game was fun and probably the best event I've ever been to.
The following people that I can remember showed up...Myself, Special Agent, AMPro, Fantasia (stayed in the car the whole time), Jungle, Baudbrain, Gnart, Fini, Nads, and a bunch of others. I can't remember that far back as too how many showed up.
Another funny thing was that Baudbrain was only like 11 or 12 years old at the time and his father waited in the car the whole time we were playing football. Afterwards everyone went over to Gnarts house for pizza and his dad waited in the car again outside of his house.
The event was great in that everyone had fun. There was a decent number of people there. It was muddy. I got to meet alot of faces behind the handles for the first time. That is one of the best memories I have from BBSing so far.
