Defecation Ensues

Today at CES, Woot held a contest. The goal was simple: take a picture with 4 out of the 5 writers. The prize: a bag of crap.

Tim and myself were the first of the WEWWL team to arrive at CES today, when we got there, we were completely unaware of the contest. When we arrived at the Woot booth, everything changed. Scott, one of Woot's writers, explained the contest to us. Tim and I stuck around the booth for about 10 minutes --when out of nowhere-- the rest of the writers all showed up at once. We quickly took pictures with all of them and let our buddy Jay, the director of deals.woot, know about it.

The rest of the WEWWL crew showed up right about the same time as the writers decided to split up again and roam the buildings. This sent the three of them (Nate, Dustin and Jake) on a wild chase to get pictures with all of them. 45 minutes had passed and they still had no luck. After a few more shenanigans, both the WEWWL team and the Woot writers ended up back at the booth. To make a long story short, the first 5 winners of the contest were all WEWWL members (booya), there were 8 winners in all.


Here are the winning pictures. Bear in mind, we were in a huge hurry so some of them are a little blurry. Somehow, in the last picture of me, the entire right side is blurry and out of focus. I blame Tim.

We each won a bag of crap:

All of the bags had the same contents:

1 Everki laptop backback
It is a good quality backpack, I have nothing personal against it, but it will be difficult to replace my Incase backpack. Tim will be giving it a full review after he uses it for a decent amount of time.

1 Everki Chill Pill (portable laptop stand)
These supposedly help keep your laptop's temperature down. I'm not doubting their effectiveness, I just doubt I'll ever use them. Just sayin...

1 Audio Unlimited Portable iPod Speakers
They're weatherproof and portable, you can't really go wrong with that.*
*Disclaimer - You might be able to go wrong with that...once we use the speakers enough, we'll let you know how they are.

1 Metal Slinky
Freaking awesome.
