So today I was sitting at home minding my business watching the weather channel’s update on the hurricane heading my way and my desk starts shaking.. and it doesn’t stop… My first instinct was it was Ender but nope not him.. Then I think okay a computer with a fan? No… Construction or winds outside? No…. Crap.. is my house collapsing?????? I then thought to check the usgs website just in case and sure enough as we all know a quake struck!

So in the two years I’ve lived here (which was just a few days ago the two year mark! Aug 21st) I’ve now experienced a Tornado Earthquake and HOPEFULLY NOT a Hurricane..

If the Hurricane does come this way and its raining during the park gathering stay tuned to this channel http://twitter.com/Urgo and also the facebook event page for updates but I think we’ll probably go bowling unless someone else has a better idea. There’s a bowling ally not far from the park. What do you guys think? The restaurants should not be a problem so fri night and sat night will still go on as scheduled.

In 2 Days the YouTube Gathering known as OuterTube will begin! OuterTube is a traditional style YouTube Gathering that will take place in public locations and other then the cost of a meal at a restaurant if you want to eat there are no costs!

We’ll start off having a dinner in the Raleigh area on Friday August 26th at a great BBQ place and then spend the day Saturday at a great park with lots of stuff to do there least of which is meeting with YouTubers! Then Saturday evening we’ll gather together for another dinner.

The next week after that we’ll transition from Raleigh to the OuterBanks and spend the week on the beach! Please note that the MAIN gathering events will be in the Raleigh area so you don’t have to attend the Outer Banks portion which will be more like a vacation to attend OuterTube. Please just stop on by if you can to either portion!

Please RSVP on Facebook if you’re going to attend: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid154472651284003
