How to spend Easter weekend as a geek


  • First, volunteer to do the video for the Texas Conference Pathfinder Camporee like you have for the past seven years.
  • Drive for 4hrs with $15,000+ in equipment in a SUV.
  • Spend the next hour getting everything setup.
  • Shoot people setting camp up
  • play Ghost Recon while waiting for more people to show up
  • capture the video and stay up till 2400 editing
  • get up at 0600 and start filming people
  • repeat till dark
  • edit till 0100
  • prompt fellow editor to work on his section
  • while editing, crash the editing suite, thus rendering your computer useless
  • fight with computer and finally break out the backup machine
  • get up at 0600 and film more people
  • escape the rain and go back to editing
  • fight with the backup machine
  • prompt fellow editor to work on his section
  • get it finished and show to the people who were brave enough to stick around
  • pack up and drive home at 0100
  • marvel at 1" of snow on the road between Caldwell and Waco
  • arrive home at 0530 and promptly go to bed
  • repeat as seen fit
