SoCAL LAN Rap (Lyrics):
December 22nd, 2009 .. eleven gamers met up to have a good time
strategies in mind, reputations on the line
some gamers were rusty while others were in their prime
the clock hit 1:30 when we all began
with this tournament, this SoCAL LAN
but the diversity in the skill range was wide
so we had to even up the players into sides
we were separated into Two Groups
so that everyone plays & no one is outta the loop
it's truth, this is real talk right here
like how Flash is in JaeDong's nightmares
Group A had Machine, pSikho, NathanB,
OMGiRok, and also included me
Group B had CoolCrimeFighter, Ohnoes
ohN, iNkA, Sonic and Dino
so the players were set and we were ready to game
like ESC.ret trying to gain some fame
but we're not in Korea, we're at E-Games
in Rowland Heights, westside is what we claim
haha im kidding dont take it seriously
i don't need a new TL Thread about me
but let's get back to the story, back to the good stuff
a few of us had to offrace just to make it tough
some intense games, some intense plays things were heating up
my boy iNkA was D-Wadeing it up
Micro, Macro, he was holding it down
as one of the Top Protoss players around
smashing on Terran, smashing on Zerg
turning his opponents into Hors D'oeuvres
this Evil Genius was hungry for first place
ever since he got there, he had his ga-ga-gamer face..

This is for iNkA, hahaha


As the rain drizzles down my place, giving my roof and windows a beating.. quite restless and physically exhausted, my caffeinated eyes refuse to eclipse into the yonder of the dreamworld. Exuberant stress fulfills my thought processing as I contemplate the likeliness of SoCAL LAN (JK Edition) happening at all. I look over at my cellphone which displays the time, 5:04am. A brief sigh as doubts conjure the notion of waking up to phone calls of confirmed gamers canceling at the last moment. Utterly in a distressed state of mind, the eyelids properly commence and my brief slumber begins.

yeah it was fun to finally chill with you after 3 completely different LANs, thanks for bringing/taking* the whole caucasian crew

i wish i could host more LANs like on a monthly basis, but my pockets are getting thin from losing to you at every LAN haha i was glad that we could finish our series, so i appreciate the extra time you bought for us

i guess i'll post up some polls next month to decipher the next SoCAL LAN: date/time/maps/etc. you and kelby need the money in Arizona so i'll try to find more B- and lower gamers to show (hi LzGaMeR)

lol it'll be sweet if we could have a LAN with you, kelby, dino, cypressman, day[9], yosh, and G5

but that seems a lil far-fetched and the only remote times whereas that would be possible is summer break or right before WCG Grand Finals in LA

nevertheless, it was an awesome event right at the end of 2009 and i'm grateful for everyone that showed to make this experience a legen(wait for it..)dary memory as BW dies and resurrects into SC2.

maybe a friday afternoon.. jake (the manager) says that it's busy on nights and weekends, so he wouldn't really need "our money" per se in business terms. just stay tuned, ill be posting threads/polls soon.

Just throwing this out there but it is illegal to take pictures of money in the US... It is surprisingly a pretty large penalty and fine.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
