Elena K, aka "Special K"
LANfest Project Manager

Elena is a veritable Russian princess turned extreme freak! She enjoys skydiving, snowboarding, racing, scuba diving for treasure and other activities that induce adrenaline rushes. When she's not pumped up, Elena whittles time away traveling in jungles, zip lining, riding elephants or simply getting on people's nerves. A devoted fan of DDR and 'Ghost hunter,' Elena deals with interruptions using amateur Aikido techniques she learned as an MBA student.

James "Booyeah" H
Event Coordinator

Known only as "Fata11ty" and "Booyeah" by even his closest friends, James was once ranked among the top 250 Warcraft III solo players on the west coast (Lordaeron Realm, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne). He has since moved on to bigger and better things -- DOTA, for example. James also enjoys "harassing" patient natives with his broken language skills (in 17 countries and counting); cultivating appreciation (and selective distaste) for classical music and affordable wine; and dispensing social commentary on the human condition.
Anna C
Sponsor Magnet

Faster than a speeding Mustang. More powerful than the CPUs and graphics cards she hawks. Able to reduce able-bodied men to tears in a single tongue lashing. Look over there. It's a bird, it's a plane -- no, it's Super Anna! Anna is an 80's girl from head to toe; constantly pushes her 6-speed Jetta VR6 GLI to the limit and beyond; and loves to demonstrate just how quickly any conversation can become bedroom talk.
