SM LAN 2005 - The First Thread

It's time. Time to start the excitement building, and the anticipation for the 5-6 month wait before the next SM LAN.

I called Deebe's today, and found out that George is selling the place

He hasn't found a buyer yet... The insane, twisted, and masochistic entrepreneur in me wants to buy it, and open a gaming cafe and use the basement for sarcnet and short-media corporate offices. Not that I've thought about it in much detail or anything

But as things stand now, SM LAN 05 will NOT be held at Deebe's..... So step 1 is securing a location. Which we will very likely have to pay for

Let's start with the dates.

I'm thinking June 17-19, 2005. This would be after finals for most of the college students, and after school ends for you parents of elementary/middle school-age kids.

I could pull that off (date-wise) . If it's in Michigan... I mightmightmight be able to go. Maybe I could get my mom to take Mike (Mc.Dubs) and me, and have his parents get us. Or something. If it was closer, it'd be cool, but I realize (and understand) that a good location is hard, and that I don't have much say . I really want to try to get there, though.

If it's going to be in the Midwest (which now seems up in the air) I'd prefer a weekend when I'm still in Illinois, more like sometime in May. But I doubt that applies to anyone else...

Well if I'm still planning it, it will be in michigan, that much I can tell you.

Entropy, you're practically next door! Why, you're just a lake-hop and a four hour drive away!

although hopping the lake may prove to be problematic.......

OH! Dude!! I totally forgot. I'll have my license by January (should have it already, but that's another story...). I could drive there myself! And Mike! So all I'd need is permission . Bo-frickin'-nus.

YES! finally the talk of the ultimate fragalicious ( is that a word? ) lan party.

I don't care where it is, I will be there baby as long as someone can pick me up from the airport

Entropy, you have to be there, and that is the bottom line

If we have to rent a place, that is fine. I'm sure we can raise enough money, we got a good group on our hands.

Damn, it will be moving time around that weekend. I think our current one is up the last week of June so we will have to move into a new one a little bit before that.

OOH! OOH! I go to the states in April on business every year. No firm dates yet (It'll be for a week) but if the LAN timing is right, I could just tack a few days on my trip and hop over, assuming we're not going to San Diego or something. No location set yet, it changes every year.

I'm out... I will be on Vacation in Florida until June 21st then my finals are on June 23rd. After that, I'm open until September.

July 18 - July 31 had the most vote aside from the "whenever" group. LAN Poll
I'd hate to make Ocomik sound like a savant (idiot savant) but June would leave me out of the mix....

I ran those dates by my mom. FRICKING YEAH! So long as it's in the summer, looks like I have a fairly good chance of going. She said we'll bring Mike, and then they can go do stuff with my bro and make a weekend of it. Probably has to be only a 4 or 5 hour drive, though. Won't let me drive myself there . Looks sweet so far!

Would you trust your car to a guy with eyebrows jumping around like that?

I hope to see you there.

No no, I think the real question here is - Would YOU trust YOUR car to a moose?

Heh. You've never been to California. Admittedly, I haven't been to Michigan either, but I suspect that California drivers (myself included) are worse.

I am not entirely certain about June dates - my family reunion is sometime in June this year, so one week (I don't know what week) in June is out for me. The only other time that is out is August. May or July are definitely OK for me.

Brian, do you have any places up there that are already set up as coffee and gamer bars? I could imagine a place like that being a suitable location - and some would even have rigs that folks could rent if they have to travel too far...

I've driven all around the NYC Metro area, and I can say, without a shred of doubt, that MI drivers are by far the worst. They speed, they don't signal, they change lanes without looking.

As a seasoned NYC driver, I can say this with confidence.

Ya know...my buddy always wanted to open one up around here...just figured there wouldn't be a market for it b/c everyone has broadband now. I think that 3-4 years ago it could have worked....back when there was that huge LPB v HPB debate and such.

I think simply "touched" is adequate in your case.

Before anyone reaches the point of despair, remember that the whole idea of this thread is to work out as many kinks as possible beforehand. I hope to be there and see every one of you.
