Being invited to submit guesses for the NCAA tourney by Don & Scott prompted me to watch at least parts of some of the first- and second-round games. It reminded me about how much I used to enjoy watching college basketball. There seems to be a larger difference between college and pro basketball than with the other major sports (football, baseball, hockey). I'm still not a huge b-ball fan, but it will be interesting to see which team wins. I was hoping the Tigers would beat the odds, but they didn't make the Sweet 16.

I'm still mulling over the "public look" of ICYG. Probably going to work with Scott to create a logo since I'm gimpy with the Gimp. ;)

Rush had me all prepared to buy tickets for their Scranton, PA show in August by saying the Internet presale was this morning. It appears that it's actually happening Thursday. I'm determined to get close seats; 10th row at the 2002 Hershey show spoiled me. ;)

I set up a UT2004 dedicated server on Saturday - it appears to be working OK. It's in the global UT list as "[IMF]Central PA Onslaught" and has global stats enabled. I'm trying to set aside time on Saturday nights to do at least an hour or two of playing. I'll grab time during the week as it becomes available. I've been very impressed by the gameplay so far, even compared to UT2003. I really dig the vehicles; they add so much to the game. However, the experience suffers during online play when lag occurs. It would be a lot of fun to participate in a 32-player LAN matchup. Hopefully my IMF buddies will set a LAN party up sometime soon. (?)

Update: The presale for the Scranton Rush show tickets was actually this morning. We got row R in the frontmost stage-right section (101). I hope that's close!
