    That is really different. Have you guys decided on a price for the LAN?

    No...Brian/Prime is taking a break for a while. After a few months, he'll start the planning again. I would imagine it will be around $25 or $30 next year.

    The nice thing about discussing ahead is we can somewhat brainstorm, ie throw ideas out and see what others think and then admins\leaders\etc. have a way to see how many like what. Then they can plan and meet what most folks want and meet what some folks think they need. Preplanning feedback is good thing....

    Hold it in Manchester, you won't get the sun streaming through the windows and the kettles always on. Everything else will follow.
    Storm away guys.

    Well, let's see. In August I'm either moving to Portland, Oregon or Anchorage, Alaska. Hmm, I guess those locations aren't central enough, are they? ;D

    Trip to the FORD plant w00t

    Clutch, you (and many others, I'm sure) would LOVE the Henry Ford Museum of History (I don't think that's the exact name, but anyways). It's primarily about transportation, cool old cars, trains, planes. I was with Ford for 10 years and made 3 or 4 trips to Dearborn, got to go to the museum one time and would happily go back. ymmv.

    Sorry, my brainstorms are too LONG for here, I guess. Admins, mods, all sorts of folks keep telling me to SHORTEN myself, so since am already too short for my liking now, will end my contributions as far as creative ideas for LAN.

    A date hasn't been set and the date would be pretty far away to really know who can make it.

    I saw it like 2 or 3 summers ago. It was awesome.

    Pfft, that thing is like a mile from my house. Kinda boring...you'd be better off going to Greenfield Village(its right next door) and going into that museum, tons of kick ass old cars and planes. Cool **** too, the car kennedy was whacked in, **** like that.
  • edited May 2004
    You have some url's or pics for Greenfield Village? What all does it have to offer and why would it be a better place to visit than other tourist traps? Thanks for the input....

    Thats the museum part, the village part can be a decent look around too, but only if its nice weather and you want to see some cool old ****(i.e., real blacksmith, real glassblower, real tinsmith...things of that sort)

    If I were from out of town and was checking out the metro area, I'd definitely check out that whole Henry Ford Village complex(killer IMAX, saw the 3rd matrix there, Museum, The Village).

    I'd also make sure I got some decent Arab food considering the population of muslims/arabs/chaldeans well exceeds 100,000 in metro(mostly in dearborn).

    I was on the rouge river plant tour, where the make the new F-150. Its ok, nothing to get your panties in a twist about.

    If I were 19 or older, and not quite 21, I'd head to Patrick O'Ryans in Canada for a night out. If you're 21 or older, the Old Shileglegh in greek-town is a must.

    Casinos are hot as well, and maybe go to a tigers game(8$ for bleacher seats with pepsi and a hot dog included, plus you can sit pretty much anywhere you want)
  • edited May 2004
    Good deal. I can get into the nostalgia thing with the village. Patrick O'Ryans sounds really cool and appeals to the Irish in me. We have plenty of casinos here and can drive to one within ten minutes of where I live so I doubt if I would throw my money away at one of those up there. I'll have to check the Tigers schedule. It's been a while since I've been to a major league game. Thanks for the info. It gives a lot of good choices to decide from.

    Yeah you are probably right. I may need to calm down a little but I am just so excited to be participating in the discussion for the next LAN party. :buck:
