Anyone wanna lend me the £894($1,632) for the frigging air-fare

Watch out any brits trying to get tickets around that week, it's peak time and damn expensive! Flying from London is even more!

Trust me.. You need to make your 21'st B-Day with Tex at the lan 2005.

The 21'st should be one to remember. I know the good strip clubs in that area by heart and the ones I have forgot Mcbain will know for sure.

You got to be kidding me dude? And I thoiught the $300 bucks I was quoted today was nasty.

Ok we all have got to get on the discount airfare sites and find cheap tickets for shorty.

I propose we start a collection to get shortys skinny little butt here for the
S-M LAN 2005. I bet his sweetie can pack his skinny butt in a small enough box we can just overnight fed-Ex his butt here for way less if we send him some sandwichs to eat on the way. I mean come on now. We send beer and snacks and they punch some air holes in a big box?? Oh sure its sorta cramped but... I mean he is a computer geek? How big can he be anyway?

Overnight envelope to the UK is only like $30?

Has anyone seen how big Shorty really is anyway? I mean in person ? I ahve seen pics but he may look bigger in the pics than real life?

Can he fit in a USPS overnight envelope?

I think we need measurements and weight anyway to proceed....

Do I even have to PM you to tell you I'll be there?

I mean, even if I didn't have the time already, I'd make it work somehow.

EDIT: Out of curiosity, do you plan for us to leave our computers outdoors (under a pavillion tent)? It's not the security that worries me, but the weather...

And of course I'll take care of lodging myself. Either I'll sleep in my car, home, or pass out on the floor (and many of you know I'm not too picky about my sleeping location).

Had a talk with a good member of the site this afternoon. But I got one question.
.
.
.
.

Who would be there to pick me up from the airport? If this was a poker game, I'm all in

I will have to go to Mustang Week next year


Also I need to know which airport to fly into. I'm gonna look at ticket prices when I get back from town in a bit.

Detroit, MI (DTW) - Is this the correct place? It's like $312 round trip, which isn't bad.

Detroit's got two.. Three if you count Bishop which is only about 60-80 miles away. DTW is definitely the airport you want to fly into. Of course I will pick you up. I provided taxi service for mondi and blackhawk last year.

I can recommend coming in a day earlier and leaving a day later so you have some chill time. Plus, I think flights originating on thursdays are cheaper. You definitely want to get here before the lan, not the day of. Setup time and all that.

If I can't, TheSMJ lives close to metro airport as do mcbain and pseudonym. SOMEBODY will be able to pick you up and take you back

I can always bring a spare PC with base WinXP on it... software (games) not included, of course.

I'll be driving my van or Ocomik's pickup.... either way, I can always bring extra's....

What some of the travellers did last year was ship their computers here, borrowed a monitor, and then shipped it back.

Pack it tight, though, we had a casualty last year thanks to our pals at FedEx

I'm in. i promise i won't break my computer this time

for those of you that dont want to spend 1,000 bucks on airfare, you can always leave a week in advance and get a ride on a freighter and go by sea. my grandma did that once and i guess she had a good time. its pretty cheap too.

Don't know where you are coming from but you need to look at getting hooked up on all the travelocity and other cheap travel sites and they email you with cheap airfare deals.

I got an email this morning where I can fly roundtrip from Denver to Dallas for $129.

I'm having trouble visualising this tent that is good enough for a LAN party... I'm not doubting it, but it would be nice to get some pictures or something...

Is there a website that shows what we're gonna have?

We will be getting a frame tent with sides - no center pole, 100% waterproof in case of rain. We can open the sides completely if we want, for ventilation. We can get fans or even get the whole thing air conditioned.

Does it have a floor, or will we be right in the grass with our tables and chairs? Is the power coming from your house? Are you going to choose the A/C option?

Sorry for all the questions, but if my computer and I are going to spend a night or two outside in a tent, I feel better knowing what to expect...

Grass floor, no doubt. It's done for weddings all the time... may make Primes lawn a bit worse for wear... he'll need to mow it before the tent goes up though. Like a nice putting green....
