Count me in.... You need anything, Prime? re-roof? Plumbing? More electric? I want to make sure I bring tools this time. That brass screw driver from 16th century was nice but not what I would call the best for circuit panel work!!!

That's right, Kevin, you've done enough damage with your tower article that you're getting a spot of honor at the LAN.

You will forget about it when you'll see how many times it would takes to ride to my house and kidnap me, but the idea makes me laugh

Well i don't know how many hours it would take for me to get there... It must be > 8 hours or so

Plus my LIAN-LI 2000 is not very moveable lol (its hugeee) hah

These challenges are small in the mind of Brian. He will simply arrive and then carry you and your Lian Li off into the sunset.

Ask mondi who has flown THOUSANDS of miles to come here multiple times....

Ask Black Hawk who was flown up from Puerto Rico

Ask CitrixMeta and Septimus who drove from Montreal

Ask Clutch and Egoshowcase who drove here almost NON STOP from North Carolina (17 hours)

Ask Keebler, to whom I said last week: "Come by this weekend"... and he did (twelve hour drive)

Distance? Cost? Lian Li? These things matter not.....

What about profdlp, who made an arduous six-hour trip to be there last year?

(It would have been a three-hour trip, but the dumbass got lost...)

LoL

OMG, stick that reply please This is (IMO) your best reply ever prime haha

Nah no kidding, I appreciate your offer prime, really but you realy think i would let you drive to my house, then to the lan, then to my house again, without saying anything ? haha

If i have to go one day i'll go on my own. I don't want to ask for something i would not do for others Like i wont let you lose 24 hours on the road for me prime :P I know you can do it but i can't accept it, well not for a SM LAN. I don't think i will find it fun to do more than 5 hours in a car either lol

This would be fun if i could be there tho, well maybe not cuz you would laugh at me everytime i speak but i could deal with it i guest haha

EDIT : or i could kill you in a game if you're not funny at all

Im sure one day i'll be motivated enough to make the move to the LAN. In a car or in a plane

Too bad for you guys, you will not hear my sexy frenchie/english voice this year hah

I'm going to try my hardest to be there. Cheapest round trip flight I've found so far is $270. Plus, the shipment of whatever computer I may have at that time. Eek. It's looking partially alright. I don't know if I have the dough that. Crap on a stick!

I will not be making it this year. I've got 2 wedding to go to the week after the LAN, one in Cali. Spending a buttload of money and the LAN is just one more expense I cannot afford right now. Well, no big loss, seeing how I'm 0-fer-2 so far. Why break my perfect streak now?

If I get hired on as a regular staff member in the next few weeks, then I can make it. Otherwise, I'll be moving right around then and losing all my accrued vacation in the process

I probably won't make it to the lan this year, didn't realise that was when mmonnin and norge were graduating. I imagine I'll be out in columbus that weekend. If there is another little get together one weekend over the summer hollar and I'll be up without my computer. I'll just bring up some beer and burgers and I'll be good to go.

Hmm I am def. not the most active guy around here but many of you I have known since the IC days and have been wanting to meet all of yall (yes I am from texas) and this shin dig sounds awesome.

I am going to check my calendar and see what the flight prices are out of Austin or maybe Houston.
Quick Q: a. Prime, do most people crash in the back or get a hotel room?
b. best way to get computer across country?


sounds like you guys can throw down! >

Hey Jared!

Hook up with Drasnor, he's coming from your area. Most people crash here, last year I think only one person got a hotel room.

Best way? Ship the computer unless you're carpooling. We can supply monitors.

It seems like it. If you remember the layout last year, we had that table next to the server table that was basically unused. Plus, there's always my kitchen table if 4 people want to board game in there.

Settlers of Catan rocks!!! ("Have you got wood for sheep?")

The only other table game I've played is Warhammer 40k. If you play that, in addition to Settlers, we might just get Buddy Jesus to come up.

CB, if you bring the games I am sure that there will be one.

If you don't show, GHoos is going to teach you a thing or two about Nuthangers - and I'll drive down there and he'p him.
