The 2011 Nick’s Marathon has officially ended, and what a weekend!

We’ll keep accepting donations for another month or so, with the goal of getting to (or even better, surpassing) the $3,000 [...]

Yup, we’re doing it again!
After the success of last year’s Nick’s Marathon, we’re holding another triple birthday party/video-game marathon. And this year should be even bigger and better: James, Mehler, and myself turn a combined 90 years-old, and towards the end of the marathon, we’ll be trying to beat a brand new Super Mario [...]

That’s right everybody – this weekend is Nick’s Marathon!
Just to recap: Friday night at 9pm, come over to James’ apartment (let me know if you need the address) for a regular, old-fashioned triple birthday party. Then at midnight, the video game marathon will begin, but that doesn’t mean the party will end. Throughout the weekend, [...]
