I work 7:30am to 4pm on the 31st and 6am to 2pm on the 1st....so Jan. 1 after 2pm would work for me. If need be, I can host again.

I am all for getting together but do I have to carry my computer to another place? It is heavy and I am lazy.

But all I am busy for is New Years Eve night. Anything else is fine with me.

I'd say the 1st and 2nd would be the best dates to choose from.

Are you hosting this year bob?

Yeah, I'm too lazy to climb your darn stairs.

As a side note, we have a spare bedroom setup if anybody wants to crash instead of driving home.

How many tables do you have available?

The table I was planning to bring just got Christmas decorations set up on it. :'(

Title: Re: LAN Party!
Post by b0b on Dec 17^th, 2009 at 2:50pm

I can go buy a card table if necessary. I think I've got a large folding banquet table available.

I'm sure your parents won't mind if you dump their decorations and steal the table. Besides, who the heck has Christmas decorations up in January?!

(...srsly!)

I can bring one as well

I sent you an invite on Steam this morning.

Just make sure you don't get as hopelessly addicted to Steam weekend sales as I am. It's painful!

So I just thought of something...I really don't want to have to carry around my 46" monitor...does anyone have an extra one I could borrow for the LAN?

He he

I can sneak you the monitor from the servers. It's a 17" LCD.

So the lan is still going on tonight right? who is all coming?

Title: Re: LAN Party!
Post by b0b on Jan 1^st, 2010 at 11:43am

You, Pat, Spanky, and Nick Bordine are all committed. We're going to build Mere's new PC today so she might play with us, too.

I don't have Nick Stear's phone number. Anyone know how to get in touch with him?

Im bringing Susies brother and cousin as well. Susie has a machine that should be able to play less intensive games also. I'm still trying to find out what eric's up to.

Thanks again, bob, for hosting the LAN...it was a blast to attend and hang out with you guys again...yes even Craig. I can host the next one at the end of this month or next month if you guys are up for another one...look at your schedules and let me know and I'll do the same and let you guys know.

Was a blast to dust off the old games again. I would be up for another.

Title: Re: LAN Party!
Post by b0b on Jan 3^rd, 2010 at 11:44am

Yeah, it was a ton of fun. Nothing beats fausting Briney in the face from point blank range.

Stewie, just throw a date out there closer to the end of the month and I'll try to schedule around it. Life is good!

Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm read for another LAN!

When would be best for you folks? My schedule is in flux as of right now but I figure we can start the plan now!

I noticed you still don't have a rating for Surf Nazis Must Die? For shame!

Oddly enough, I was just thinking earlier today that we really needed to have another LAN. The last one was a blast!

Mere and I will be flying to Japan this weekend and will be back on Sunday, April 11th. I'll probably have to work the following weekend to catch up on everything, but I'm wide open after that.

Well, if people are still interested, I guess I'll start the scheduling game with Friday, May 7th, if hosts are available. ;D
