Arrow The SM LAN 2007 pre-planning planning thread ..... already?

It seems like I JUST finished up with Lan 06. No, really.

Anyways, the natives have been a' rumbling. There have been.... talks...

So, let the discussion begin. I'm shooting for mid to late june again. What say y'all?

I say it's like trying to herd cats to hammer down a date. People who really wanna' roll with the SM crew IRL will show up. Make it so, #1.

Knowing now how cheap airfare is, I don't think I can excuse myself from future LANs.

I'd say let's just get a date in place, and those who want to join will be there.

Whenever, just pick it by like February so we can put in for the time off early I would think earlier in June is better for me, generally.

A lot of folks have big a 4th of july planned (I know I do), so not to close to that.

I think it should be not be marketed as a LAN, more as a huge social gathering.. with some gaming

Hence why we should market it as a gathering.. because once the drinks start to flow..

SM-LAN'07--- Name needs to stay. The planning for the event can revolve around friendship, food, conversation, and some gaming.

I'm done with school no later than June 24th. As usual, after that, I'm open all summer.

Hey Prof, you and I can help reign in the gaming aspect?

I'd like to volunteer to design the logo for this event, and maybe the name badges. I just wanted to do something different this year.

NOTE: SM-LAN'07 DOES contain the term LAN but it really means PARTY with gaming in between the PARTING...

As long as it's not Finals Weekend, I'm there!!!

In increasing order of importance, My attendance will be contingent on:

1) Summer job location (or existence)
2) Flight Costs
3) ???
4) Profit!
5) Money

It probably won't matter when it is, though.

I will go on these conditions:

1) I am not in school
2) I can afford the next months rent

Unfortunately I have no idea about either.

Agreed. So long as our massive hive of computers folds for me, I'll bring the beer

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that there is NO underage drinking and there wasn't any sloppy drunkenness either

I don't want someone to be banned from coming because their parent reads this thread

My family has a reunion scheduled around the third week of June. If it doesn't overlap, I will be at SM LAN '07 by hook or by crook.

For the record, I only had about five beers total all weekend during this year's LAN, and I had an absolute blast. You guys rock!

I didn't drink a lick of Alcohol... Maybe that was my problem ... There will be drinking but we've had a history of being responsible about it... No police, no ambulance visits... There was a massive glass shortage in the Detroit area due to the empty bottles at Prime's....
