2006 Lan Party Planning Commitee

Ok guys...if we are going to do this then we need a plan and some volunteers to help. I cannot do most of it like in the past due to my consulting business and children. So if we are really going to do it then let's talk and get something together. We will need this time to organize and communicate the event to our missing/old clan fellows.

So what do we want to do?

We need a location, dates, and communications. We have the wiring, switches, etc. The big deal is a location, tables, chairs, etc.

Well, first is to see who abouts we're going to get to come down... I mean it is october in Texas, so setting up where someone has a decenct sized garage would be ok for 15 - 20 players. Do you guys have equipment rental places down there? I know up here renting tables/chairs for 20-30 people isn't too bad.

Dates: October 13-15. (22nd is my daughter's birthday, so bad weekend there.)

We can do some signups and such with web pages, implement a tell-a-friend button on the signup page, and automatically email all board members. Oh, and PayPal link of course.

I can do that.

Location, tables, chairs, I'm lost on at the moment. Porsche had said we could still approach the Lighthouse about it, and it does have an excellent location for most. Not for Ice or Hammer tho.

Location does not bug me at all. I am planning on moving to South Arlington anyway.

So we're going to be neighbors? Um, have you improved your bathing habits yet?

j/k

Seriously, there are a lot of homes in our neighborhood up for sale/rent, should you be so inclined.

I can tell you now that I'm not that excited aout the ideal, unless theres gonna be some set games. last time there was to many side games that many people didn't have. So games would consist of only5-7 peeps at most. Ack

not much fun really. just my 2 pennies worth. Plus works a BITCH right now, I've got one house remodle thats gonna take me ,hmmmmm, at least 9 more months to get done with..

I'd really like to go. But I don't think it will happen for me this year (again! >: )

Work is supposed to get really stressful late summer / early fall for me. I'm doing the work of two people right now, and training someone (who is actually my new lead because I didn't want the job). She's the lead so she's got to know how everything works, AND deal with the idiots/asshats/and the BS that I didn't want to deal with. Heh.

There's a nice 3 bedroom across the street from us for 117, Ice.

decent yard too.

We got some room at our place, and the whole house is networked. Just saying it's cool with me to have it here, just so no one gets paranoid. Only problem I can see is we have cat and dog hair.

I'm interested, as always, but there's still the whole Ohio to Texas... "thing"... let's hope that I have a reliable car by then.

Mrs. DK sighed and rolled her eyes at the prospect but said ok!!

I have a friend that wants to come. As for games my votes for BF 2, (BF 2142 if it makes it), T2 of course, Unreal (whatever the latest one is), and maybe Americas Army (only because its free). Well thats my vote and the 13th of October seems fine by me.

So bring her with you. She might think LANs were fun.

Spinning Hat · Post by **Spinning Hat** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 2:35 pm

I'm bringing my GF with me to the LAN..

I like T2, BF2, and some strategy game (Civ IV? Those games can be long and fun..

)

One more thing: 117K for a house in your neighborhood Gambit? That is insanely cheap.. How many Sq ft? I've been looking up here, and to live in something decent, it's at least 160k, and it's only 900-1000 sq ft...

XMEN Iceman · Post by **XMEN Iceman** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 3:50 pm

Rofl...that is why we like living down here.

I sold my 2000sq ft home with 1/2 acre, swimming pool, etc. last year for $159,000. Try to buy that anywhere else for that price.

Sucks though...I am now trying to buy a 14-1600sq ft house for around $100k. There are some around, just hate paying taxes.
