I blame Day[9] , he is the guilty party.
Today my mom forwarded this link to me, I'm sure he's already informed of what's going on ;p
http://www.hmc.edu/specialinterestfeatures/oncampus/starcraft-2-release-party.html
Its basically the SC2 release party that you have somehow managed to get published on the Harvey Mudd official website.
For you who don't know, Harvey Mudd is a completely amazing college on the outskirts of LA in one of the nicest neighborhoods of all California; Claremont. I've been there multiple times (family lives nearby, siblings attend sister-school) and it is a fabulous place, with the entire undergraduate student body made up of about 800 people, so its pretty damm tough to get into.
I'd really like to just, I dunno, congratulate Sean on having to a certain extent succeeded in the dream he expressed in his 100th daily to become the 'Go-TO' man for everything to do with western eSports. If anyone is in the California area, instead of lining up to get your copy (c'mon, it can wait a few hours can't it?) you really should find your way to the Claremont colleges, and sit yourselves down in the Harvey Mudd theatre. Hopefully it'll be sunny, and trust me, when it's sunny there, wow.
[Only question: which is more enticing; the sunset over the mountains in a lush green California immaculate garden, or Mr. Plott's voice ^^]
So yeah, shoutout to Sean Plott for having gotten my mom just a bit more into Starcraft (hay, don't take too much credit though, I made certain she new about it long before SC2 ever came along). It really is awesome to have a mom who sends you innocuous emails about the college you want to go to, your favorite game and pastime, and the awesome guy who links the two. Man I love my mom
FML, seeing that the undergraduate class consists of 200 people every time I tell people about or even mention Harvey Mudd my probability of being accepted decreases. Oh well, I blame Day[9] 
Peace~

It was hidden sarcasm
Actually I'm just very appreciative of all that Day[9] has already done, and what he still plans to do.
A sign of how far-reaching and how fruitful his efforts have already been is the anecdote I start with about MY MOM sending me a Starcraft and Day[9] link

Same here. But no, it's just more showering of praise.
One day someone will bring balance to the force

Day[9] for the president! :O

This is confusing. What does your mom have to do with Harvey Mudd and sc2? Is she an employee there?

Sorry I haven't slept in God-knows how long, so I might not be very linear in my story-telling.
Basically my mom knows I love SC and SC2, and she and I both want me to go to Harvey Mudd College (the same college Day[9] went to), so she sent me this link about Harvey Mudd AND Starcraft (omg dude, SWEET). No she doesn't work there, but lets just say we both know the area VERY well.

Laerties, after all the pretty language I used you still haven't made up your mind? (I feel I fail as a human being)
Really man

Trust me, if you go out and do something outside of your comfort zone, but actually bother to go and do it even if you aren't perfectly comfortable with it, you will have such a great experience if its something like this. I would most defiantly go, but I do kinda happen to like in Switzerland sooooo....

I would try to go if I had a way to go 
Live like an hour and 30 minutes away and have no transportation ;_;

Just go, I'm sure you could just go into a group of people and say "wow terran sure is imba" and meet a whole bunch of zerg players who are willing to be your friend!

I actually live in a different place now. I live in Beaumont which is essentially the middle of nowhere

FML, seeing that the undergraduate class consists of 200 people every time I tell people about or even mention Harvey Mudd my probability of being accepted decreases.
I entered Harvey Mudd in 1987. That year, they admitted 50% of the people who applied. I heard that last year they admitted something like 10%, which pretty much makes it certain that today I couldn't get in.
Even so, if you're interested in one of their six available majors, physics, math, engineering (a nonspecialized engineering program that's one of about 5 in the country), chemistry, biology, or computer science, it's a first-rate school and one I'd choose again in a heartbeat.
Looking forward to the party on Monday.
Edit: The "lush green garden" thing cracked me up. More like, tumbleweeds. The area's pretty dry.

but I guess this is good too.

Yeah, seriously I don't live too far away state wise yet it'd still be quite a trip for me. Go and enjoy the party

www.jink.tv is currently redirecting to Day's blip.tv. We can only assume that Jink will be a new hub for the e-sports community, headed up by TLs own Mr.9. I wouldn't be surprised if this is announced at his launch party.
Although in the interview Day9 says that the "new site to host all my content", I do not believe that Day9 is thinking on a small scale. At the start the new site might just host his own content, but over time i could see Day9 wanting to bring in more content providers in one place.
It would be very cool to have a concentration of casters and tournaments for a "one stop shop" for all your e-sports cravings.

Ah I see, now I get it. :D Seems like Harvey-Mudd would be the perfect combination then with good education and SC2.

why call it google? what the fuck is a kodak?
Wikipedia says:He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagram set. He said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, one cannot mispronounce it, and it could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak.
