Well it was half past one (1:30AM) in the morning of Bank Holiday Monday, the 12th of April 2004.

I was Online, listening to music with my Headphones on, a little bored, when suddenly I was PM'd on IRC by someone I'd never seen before.

Amazingly, it's a person that runs a special Radio/Commentating Server at MultiPlay's i Series LANS.

It's just recently gone under new management, and so they are looking for people to go down to the Events and Present/Broadcast things, obviously some being games and so such.

Now myself, I'm hugely interested, not only in the fact that we can pimp WirePlay Radio (No offence Zeuseh!) but that I can actually go to an i Series LAN and have some fun while I'm down there.

Apparently Breath, Zeuseh knows you as s/he was CS/UO Admin. He never saw you at i19 thou.

So, anyone up for it? I'll post the conversation me and Zeuseh had below:

[01:33.33] (Zeuseh): hi
[01:33.41] (ssmmdd): Yes?
[01:33.51] (Zeuseh): WP Radio Manager?
[01:33.59] (ssmmdd): Community Liaison, but same thing.
[01:34.16] (Zeuseh): do you do game commentrys or?
[01:34.50] (ssmmdd): We offer the Server for it to be done on, however I don't think any of mu DJ's (or myself) have ever Commentated a game.
[01:35.02] (Zeuseh): ah ok
[01:35.08] (ssmmdd): However.
[01:35.13] (ssmmdd): I'm willing to learn. :E

[01:44.08] (Zeuseh): maybe 2
[01:44.14] (Zeuseh): when we have the critera

[EDIT]

They provide the Hardware AND music, but I'm not sure if you can bring your own music. Will have to find out.

People outside of the LAN can tune into the Station as well as the people inside the LAN (and abusing the 100MB Internet Connection BT gives them) meaning that, given the station is well enough known, a few hundred people could tune in.

Sounds cool to me.
