The "show" starts at 12 midnight, which is also when this is unveiled.

16 minutes...

My clock says approximately two hours.

Those pesky time zones.

Trent DeWhite · Post by **Trent DeWhite** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:07 pm

I thought Dan was in the Eastern time zone.

Post by **Catspaw** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:35 pm

But Dan has sent me the top-secret link, so you'll all have to wait 25 more minutes.

Of course... just another excuse for Catspaw to impose her agenda upon us by making us wait for midnight Central.

Sometimes I choose the midnight of the most convenient time zone, depending on my schedule! $\:D/$ It works out best for me that way.

*breaks off a large chunk of cake*

So how many boxes of cake mix did this take?

DanP740 · Post by **DanP740** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:19 pm

We didn't exactly use boxes of cake mix, we just bought the chocolate and vanilla blocks from Cake Block Productions. For anyone interested, here is the total budget for the project:

Now that we've moved the excess cake to the cafeteria in City Hall and jackhammered the concrete, we've put the buildings and vehicles back, now completely restored, and a family has moved in:
