Extra Life Recovery Day!

Monday, November 9th, 2015

Well, we did it! We survived 24hrs of gaming! There were people playing Magic, X-Wing, tons of board games, and even Rockband! At 1AM, we even played a 30-person game of Ultimate Werewolf. When 5 AM hit, waffles were made for those who stuck around. Near the end, an epic roll off for a date with Derek happened. While someone had to win, some hearts were broken. In the end, sleep schedules may have been wrecked, but, all together, we helped raise over $2000 for charity.

I’d like to take this time to thank a few people who were a lot of help during the event. First of all, thanks to Derek because without him and the store, this event wouldn’t have happened. A big thanks to Andrew Pegg-Wheat for hosting the stream and making waffles. Of course a huge thanks goes out to everyone who donated during the event. Whether it was money or something to be donated, it all helped out.

I’ll definitely reflect more about how this year’s event went, but for now I just wanted to get this quick message out to all of you. We’re working on getting some of the video that was taken up on YouTube, but that may take some time. When it does go up, we’ll be sure to let you all know. I hope you’ve all recovered by now. As soon as I got home yesterday, I crashed right into my bed and it was glorious.

I’ve already started planning for next year. If you weren’t able to make it this year, then I hope you can make it to the next one. Its going to be great. For now, enjoy some of this pictures from the event.
