After long discussions and factoring in as much info as we could (gas prices, water levels, price, entertainment value, cabins) - we finally have some info on Nerds Unplugged 3.

Nerds Unplugged 3 will be at Lake Buchanon again - at Cottonwood Cove.

We are setting it for Friday August 24th - 27th (we have to go with these dates since availability is limited due to the water being up and everyone booking their stay).

So the plan is to go ahead and reserve two cabins for that weekend - and hope that we can fill them.  I think that we will be able to this year, however - I think that every year.  Worse case scenario we drop the second cabin a month before and go with the water front one.

Just a little FYI on the water state of Buchanan.  First of all, thanks to Buster for gettin’ info on it from Paul at Cotton Cove.  He said that Buchanan is full and that is good news.  What this means is…

This will not look like this anymore.

This will not look like this anymore either.

This would not be possible - Buster & Maab would be neck deep.

This means - good freakin’ news… when you go out back in cabin 2 to smoke a ciggie, you will be forced to check to see if any of the fishing poles are needing bait… or have any fish on them.  This means that instead of wandering off at 5AM to go “check the water level” (**cough BUSTER cough**) - you don’t have to walk a 1/4 mile.

So I say all of that to say this…

We need to start figuring out who is going.  I have been talking with all four people that made it to Nerds Unplugged 2, Benny, Buster  & Maab… and it sounds like all of us are in.  So we need to figure out who else is going.  Please chime in if you are in or out here in the comments area.

I had some time, and like a true nerd - I  came through with a grocery list in spreadsheet form.  hehe… I know.  I was able to price almost everything (somewhat close or dead-on) - so we could get a good idea on how much money we would have to spend each on food.  So if you want to take a look at the spreadsheet and add/comment/adjust any of it - just click the link below and add your comment to the comments section of this post. 

The price wasn’t all that bad, for 4 days/3 nights… you gotta love 25 bucks or so for food eh?  Left off a few things like bacon, cheese, butter, sour cream - but other than that… pretty dead on.  I figured Beer/Coke and Milk would go on its own tab.  See the link below:

Finally, after a tiny bit of work… we have thrown up NerdsUnplugged.com.  This will be the reservoir for everything Nerds Unplugged.  This will have info on where the current Nerds Unplugged event is, what the situation regarding it is… and anything else you can think of that you might need to know about NU.

We made this site to where you will have to login to comment, and if you would like to be part of the blogging team… just let us know and we will set you up an account to do so.  We have been putting everything in an email form, but thought this would be a lot easier - so we would not have to worry about leaving anyone off (Tim, haha) of the email.  This way you can just check in on Nerdsunplugged.com and see what the latest is.

This is a work in progress, and can change in a blink of an eye… so if you have any suggestion or thoughts on what to do - simply comment and we will do just that.  We are all nerds here, so we can do about anything we want here on this site.  Don’t be shy about it.  We all know everyone’s strong points and we might as well utilize them.  Just so you know, Benny will not be doing stick figure graphics… that is for sure.  haha

So on behalf of the whole Nerds Unplugged squad… WELCOME, this is your home.
