Picture this: you go to a theme park<\/a> with about 1500 people for free, and it’s shut down to the rest of the public. That probably sounds cool, but then adjust that vision as follows:
\n– The people are 85% male, and 90% geeks
\n– You don’t really know any of them, so you’re pretty much on your own
\n– It’s nighttime, and therefore totally dark
\n– It’s raining, and therefore all of the geeks are in aqua blue ponchos
\n– You’ve just been stuffed with food and alcohol, and therefore you are in no condition to be riding theme park rides<\/p>\n

It was a very surreal environment last night. The theme park was pretty fun, but just a hilarious environment. At one point they had a “dance party” inside one of the manufactured theme-clubs. Don’t get me wrong, there were people dancing on the dance floor, but it was also standing-room-only against the wall. I rode on all of the rides that were open (Jurrasic Park<\/a> was closed) and finished off with the Incredible Hulk<\/a> which almost made me vomit, but not quite. At least if I had, I would have been protected by my poncho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
