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.

Hey.... I've actually herded cats. You DO know that I had 11 cats in my house for a few weeks, right?

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.

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?

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:

2) I can afford the next months rent

Unfortunately I have no idea about either.

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....
