I'm a Windows 7 House Party Host!

[SXRguyinMA]

Just happened to be on late last night and got an email @ midnight saying the first few to respond would be selected. So I responded and filled out my stuff, then got an email saying I was selected!

I need to host the party between Oct 22 and 29. I'm probably going to do it on the 25th (Sunday). Some perks of being a host are:



Hosts will receive a special Signature Edition of Windows 7 Ultimate for their efforts. They will also get a Windows 7 Party Pack to share with their guests, based on one out of four themes: PhotoPalooza, Media Mania, Setting up with Ease, or Family Friendly Fun. Party packs will be delivered by October 10, 2009, and include the following items.

All hosts will receive:
One limited Signature Edition Windows 7 Ultimate
One Deck of Playing Cards with Windows 7 Desktop Design
One Puzzle with Windows 7 Desktop Design
One Poster with Windows 7 Desktop Design
Ten Tote Bags with Windows 7 Desktop Design for hosts and guests

Also included in USA party packs:
One package of streamers for decoration
One package of balloons for decoration
One table top centerpiece for decoration
One package of Windows 7 napkins

US residents will also be entered for a chance to win a $750 mini-notebook computer. A total of 64 winners will be notified once all the parties are over (after October 30, 2009).


I'm especially excited to see this Signature Edition of Windows 7 Ultimate :up:

Anyone in the New England area (I'm in Central Mass, right next to Worcester) that wants to come PM me your email addy and I'll send you an invite :banana: :banana: :banana:

Nice! I'm not really sure what goes on at the party, but I might be able to swing by. Sounds interesting to say the least, hehe. As of now, I don't have any plans for that day, but who knows if I will have to work then.

^ @ the mail that is hot, but I think you might already have it anyway.

Anyone else in the Central MA area?

[SXRguyinMA]

Fuzzy is in the area, think he's up your way in NH. can't think of anyone else off the top of my head

[knowledgegranted]

Hey I live in Worcester! Not sure if I'll be able to go though...:(

[d_stilgar]

I applied, but haven't heard back at all. Maybe I have a chance, although hearing about what happened with you, I'm having my doubts.

[SXRguyinMA]

really? whereabouts do you live? I didn't know anyone lived so close lol I'm right on rt9 in the center of Leicester

[Mark_Hardware]

hey congrats man thats pretty cool. Hey you know I can be there in spirit, then you can just mail me some of the cool shwag :wink:

Everybody that I've heard of, who's applied, has got it.

[TheGreatSatan]

You are awesome!

[d_stilgar]

weird. I wonder if it's because I'm still using XP, or because I live in a small town. It is a college town though.

[knowledgegranted]

really? whereabouts do you live? I didn't know anyone lived so close lol I'm right on rt9 in the center of Leicester

I actually live in Grafton, I just say worcester because no one has heard of my town and its basically in worcester

[SXRguyinMA]

no way thats cool. I sometimes say worcester too for the same reason (I'm right next to it, on the other side from you lol)

[Bopher]

Now I wish I was still in MA. I'd take the T into Worchester to visit. Driving through makes me an angry person.

[SXRguyinMA]

lol worchester....I hear that so much it annoys the hell outta me :whistler:

[Bopher]

Damnit! It's official I've been out of MA to long.

[knowledgegranted]

Haha, yeah times have changed.


Yeah, alot of people hear of Worcester, so instead of the usual story saying a small pimple in Massachusetts to the right of Worcester. I just say I live in Worcester much easier. I actually live within 5 minutes walk of rte 9

[SXRguyinMA]

yea well I live right on rte 9 lol

[knowledgegranted]

Do you live in a red house by any chance? lol jkjk

[SXRguyinMA]

nope lol

[knowledgegranted]

Maybe I'll come PM me the details, I think my rents will be away so I won't have a ride but I can ride my dirtbike down the powerlines and cut across 122 and hope on rte 9 and get there, shouldn't be too hard.

[SXRguyinMA]

if you can get to hot dog annies my house is 5 mins on a dirt bike from there. PM me your email and I'll shoot you the invite :up:

[knowledgegranted]

Man I love hotdog annies!! I beliebve I wrote my name somewhere on one of the tables, they have probably replaced it by now though..

e-mail is me@jamesatchue.com

[SXRguyinMA]

yea some asian people baught it a while back. they raised the prices, the food is worse, and the worst part is.......THEY PAINTED IT RED!!!!! :facepalm:

would it be vandalism if I snuck out there one night and repainted it blue? lol

[NightrainSrt4]

Hey, Knowledge, if you give me a week or two to figure out if I can get off work, I could probably pick you up on the way, as I am coming from Framingham.

I will have to look up a better/quicker way to get to Will's though, lmfao, as the way the stupid GPS made me go last time it took an hour and a half to get from my place to his, even though its only supposed to be like 20 miles or something. I hate that damn GPS. Then again it was the morning after that huge ice storm and traffic was SLOW, but speed limits where it sent me were slow anyway.

[Oneslowz28]

Hey SXR, take lots of pics and a video or 2 and do a writeup on it and we will feature it on the front page.

You can come right down rt 9, or take the pike to the auburn exit and come from there. LMK and I can get you better directions :up:

[Kayin]

Played through Portal, the mother****ing cake was a lie!

[d_stilgar]

I just got the email that I wasn't selected. Man, that sucks. I wanted some swag!!!

[NightrainSrt4]

I finally RSVP'd, lol. Anything in particular (food/etc) you want me to bring/that is needed?

I have no clue what actually gets done at a Windows House Party lmfao.

Knowledge, just let me know if you can come and I can easily pick you up on the way there, that way you don't have to dirtbike through the cold and halfway across Worcester county.

[SXRguyinMA]

whatever works. appetizers, desserts, whatever. I have no idea what goes on either but I guess we'll find out lol

[Collinstheclown]

I'd come if it wasn't a 4 and a half hour drive. :( :dead:
