scottcoz, I'm right there with you. I'm getting to the stage where, hard as I try, I inevitably pass out at some point. It's okay. Just think of us as the old grandfathers sleeping through the game on Thanksgiving. Every once in a while, we'll wake up, fart, and make a comment before we drift off again.

I do think that the 24-hour ones are easier on the system, though, as I've often had to work all day before driving to Columbus for the evening ones. Then you wait in line for an hour or so. By the time the first couple of films are over, I'm beat. With the longer 'Thon, I can relax beforehand. Save my energy. Then, it's alllll goooooddd.

not sure why but the older I get the easier it is for me to stay awake. Not sure why.

OK - I may have to come back for this event. The Return of 24hours is BIG! It's been difficult living on the west coast to make the marathons, so I have not bothered coming for the 12 hour events. Now I just need to get off work......

Thanks to Joe and Bruce for returning to the 24 hour format. Can't wait to see the new Grandview theater!

Heh - alas, I no longer have it, so you won't get to see it in person. After growing it for a year and a half, the 'stache and I had to part ways after it attacked me! As I lay down one night to go to sleep, and rolled over on my side, the pillow pushed the 'stache up into my eyeball!

That was when I learned, comically large moustaches are way eviller than goatees!

It's great that you were finally able to get 24 hours again this year. It's too bad that apparently you won't have any movies to show. :wink:

HA! If only you knew how close we are to announcing the whole lineup, etc. I'm talking standing on the edge of the cliff on tiptoes, ready to jump.

One way to get ready is to get your system ready by consuming large quality of junk food, not going to sleep, and watching the Bread films on an endless loop.

*rumble, rumble, rumble*

What's that noise?

*rumble, rumble*

Does anyone else hear that?

*puts ear to the ground*
*rumble*
*rumble, rumble*


I think something's coming. :)
