Some of you may haven't gotten messages on facebook or maybe a text message, maybe three text messages, or maybe you read about it in the defcon forums, or from one of your friends begging you to help with a bunch of people you didn't know. A few lucky folks probably got all of that :)

Well, it paid off. I think. We're not entirely sure when they Likes are tallied but as of right now, AFTER the official close of the contest, 23b has 435 likes, i3detroit has 385. Nobody else is even close. If you still haven't voted, drop in and vote please. It's possible that this isn't quite over and every little bit counts :)

Thanks to the 435 of you that have helped us out. as promised, arclight will be giving free welding lessons to the people who liked us! He's going to find out about this as soon as he get's back from new york, wont that be nice?

Lots of new pictures from kim!

not sure how many of you are going to be able to see these on facebook. Hopefully they'll be directly linked from here soon enough

OMG! Ponies

Team 23b has arrived in New York

So the team is now situated in our RV at Newtown Barge Park. Amazingly, all of our 150+ lbs of stuff made it through a 2-leg Air Tran flight intact. The TSA tossed everything, but apparently didn't find anything worth confiscating.

Here is a pic:
