MacWorld SF

Posted on January 5th, 2007 by phiber811, under John, Modding News, New Mods, Publicity, main.

Tuesday is the official kick off of MacWorld San Francisco. With Keynote A La Steve Jobs, it should be exciting. But this year, I’m excited about things other than the keynote. In particular, MacMod.com will have a booth there. Yes, I’m amazed too. Something thats been talked about for ages, and now its happening. With SF only a ten hour drive away (yes, only ten!) I’m totally making the trip.

At the MacMod booth, you’ll be afforded the opportunity to see both NecroMac’s, my custom painted Mac Mini, the handy-work I applied to a set of Speck Products’ MacBook Pro shells, a custom flamed Powerbook lid, and maybe a set of iMac G5 shells. At least, thats what I plan to bring. If all goes according to plan, you’ll get to see all the current episodes of the Pimp My Mac podcast, in rotation throughout the week. Class, can we say awesome?

I’ll be there through wednesday, so if you wanna say hi, look for the MacMod booth next to the gaming pavilion. We’ll be hard to miss, I’m sure. We’ll be the morons hawking MacMod.com, and the website in general. I may also hand out business cards from my shop, if I can get away with it. (they gave me time off, c’mon.)

There’s also this rumor about a silent auction for the Necro 2, so if you’re hot to trot to own a NecroMac, it’ll be there, and no, it wont be cheap. That level of customization is never cheap.

So, with that in mind, come to MacWorld SF! If you can make it, do so! If not, come here for the pictures. I plan to take my camera, and some of my collected mac shwag. I’m hoping to get Leander Khaney to sign my copy of Cult of Mac, if woz shows, I want him to sign my Lego PodBrix, and if the Jobs wanders by, I’m hoping to con him into signing my Jobs podbrix. Total nerd hero worship kinda stuff. Course, if I can get Jobs to wander by and start twitching violently when he sees what I do to his stuff, I’ll take that as a victory as well. I’m sure that all our customization, on a certain level, totally chaps his ass.

So yes, come to MacWorld! Then come to MYM for photos! I’ll be trying to post interesting updates while I’m there, but I dont know what the internet scene will be like. We’ll see. Vive Le San Francisco!
