In a fortunate turn of events K|ngp|n, Andre, Jody, Gautum, Vapor, and the notorious Fugger are meeting up at (as of yet) an undisclosed location in Detroit Michigan. Fugger already stated he plans to break some World Records at 6GHz + speeds, but that’s not all. With all of these XS members being present we are sure to see blistering hot speeds and super cold chips. Chaos and I are very anxious to see these guys perform live on site! NewPants has not committed to the event but I think he’ll tag along too if he can.

In preparation for the event, Chaos is dusting off his video camera… Even though the BURR team has not officially been invited we’re keeping our fingers crossed so that we may record and share the event with all of the OC enthusiasts out there. So wish us luck and hit us back in the comments below!
