Reigniting interest in the SM LAN

Well the first time I announced this, back in October of 2003, the 40 spots filled up like mad. People were really excited. Then this few month delay while re-organizing the event and finding a decent place to have it, and now we have a really good spot for it, and nobody seems to much care.

Not very many people actually sent their reg fees last time around. Of the ones who have, only one has reconfirmed, and I have refunded two reg fees.

I need to know what to do with the reg fees for the few people that did pay last time around, and I also want to get people interested in this thing again. We have 60 spots available, and now UT2004 will be out, which is a seriously kickass lan game.. Come on, people! Get off your bums and sign up for this thing! Don't you want to meet all the short-medians!?!?

    I wish I could go but I'm unemployed and lacking in funds for that major of a trip...maybe next year though.

    I myself am thinking about it. I do not have much funding for this, though, and it will depend on how another couple of eye operations to right eye and also how long I need to wait for them to heal, before I will know. AFAIK, you and I are even as far as money goes, Prime, so if I wanted to come it would be more for fun and to meet folks than to game as I am not a real gamer.

    I now have a job and a car, and I'm ready to go. Come on, don't you guys want to meet the wiseass Noo Yawka in person? I mean, how much fun would it be to see me and Shorty, drunk off our asses, making complete fools of ourselves? And how about the comedy stylings of Ageek and Thrax, live, uncut and uncensored? And who doesn't want to give Geeky1 a slap upside the head for being so cocky?

    Come on, people! It's going to be a blast! I suck at FPS games, but I still want to go and meet my bretheren, the people I've formed such a close bond with. Meeting all of you in person will just help to solidify this community.

    Well, this ol' fart has been able to handle young whippersnappers for a looong time. Let's just say my father the lawyer had this sign in his office:

    "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest SOB in that valley." It was cross-stitched by mom.... No, I did not inherit it, think brother Stephen got it.... :D

    BTW, "meet-n-greet" worked fine for my BBS up in Royal Oak, though we were all more local. Some weekends I would have 20 people in the apt thrugh an evening (some weekends Prime as a much younger guy would appear).... When you know folks better, is easier to tell where the heck they are coming from.... I could somewhat jive with some, others I had to be straight with. Hard to tell with words alone, this was pre-emoticon days, we used strictly the ASCII things, Like this: 8{) (yowsah, I really DO have a pair of glasses and a moustache and am grinning now). Most of CoSysops of this BBS I had-- there were like 15-20 as I needed Apple users, beemers, Atarians, Commodore freaks, etc-- I knew in person.

    Would love to, but can't. Too bad it's not in Mississippi or Georgia in the middle of April, I have a business trip down there to Biloxi and Atlanta next month.

    To anybody who IS going, please check this thread. If your name is not on the list, it's because I haven't received a PM from you yet to "reconfirm".. I'm not using the old confirmations because the dates are different, so people who were able to go to the old dates might not be able to come to the new one.

    Please PM me your confirmation :)
