It's time. Time to start the excitement building, and the anticipation for the 5-6 month wait before the next SM LAN.

I called Deebe's today, and found out that George is selling the place :eek3:

He hasn't found a buyer yet... The insane, twisted, and masochistic entrepreneur in me wants to buy it, and open a gaming cafe and use the basement for sarcnet and short-media corporate offices. Not that I've thought about it in much detail or anything :eek3:

But as things stand now, SM LAN 05 will NOT be held at Deebe's..... So step 1 is securing a location. Which we will very likely have to pay for :(

Let's start with the dates.

I'm thinking June 17-19, 2005. This would be after finals for most of the college students, and after school ends for you parents of elementary/middle school-age kids.

    I could pull that off (date-wise) :). If it's in Michigan... I mightmightmight be able to go. Maybe I could get my mom to take Mike (Mc.Dubs) and me, and have his parents get us. Or something. If it was closer, it'd be cool, but I realize (and understand) that a good location is hard, and that I don't have much say ;D. I really want to try to get there, though.

    If it's going to be in the Midwest (which now seems up in the air) I'd prefer a weekend when I'm still in Illinois, more like sometime in May. But I doubt that applies to anyone else...

    Well if I'm still planning it, it will be in michigan, that much I can tell you.

    Entropy, you're practically next door! Why, you're just a lake-hop and a four hour drive away! ;D

    although hopping the lake may prove to be problematic.......

    OH! Dude!! I totally forgot. I'll have my license by January (should have it already, but that's another story...). I could drive there myself! And Mike! So all I'd need is permission :eek:. Bo-frickin'-nus.

    You can. Just think happy thoughts. And jump out a second story window...

    (What a great lesson to teach our kids, hey?)

    The same holds for me.

    hahah yeah, the first time the kids watched Peter Pan (the new one) me and the wife paused the movie and we're like "DON'T DO THAT - This is just a movie! It's fake! You can't really fly!" as they sat there all wide-eyed at that part..... ;D

    YES! finally the talk of the ultimate fragalicious ( is that a word? ) lan party.

    I don't care where it is, I will be there baby :) as long as someone can pick me up from the airport :D

    Entropy, you have to be there, and that is the bottom line ;D

    If we have to rent a place, that is fine. I'm sure we can raise enough money, we got a good group on our hands.

    Damn, it will be moving time around that weekend. I think our current one is up the last week of June so we will have to move into a new one a little bit before that.

    OOH! OOH! I go to the states in April on business every year. No firm dates yet (It'll be for a week) but if the LAN timing is right, I could just tack a few days on my trip and hop over, assuming we're not going to San Diego or something. No location set yet, it changes every year.

    July 18 - July 31 had the most vote aside from the "whenever" group. LAN Poll
    I'd hate to make Ocomik sound like a savant (idiot savant) but June would leave me out of the mix.... :shakehead

    Let me preface this whole discussion with:

    Since deebe's is apparently not going to be the venue, the dates are way up in the air right now.

    I ran those dates by my mom. FRICKING YEAH! So long as it's in the summer, looks like I have a fairly good chance of going. She said we'll bring Mike, and then they can go do stuff with my bro and make a weekend of it. Probably has to be only a 4 or 5 hour drive, though. Won't let me drive myself there :rolleyes:. Looks sweet so far!

    Would you trust your car to a guy with eyebrows jumping around like that? ;D

    I hope to see you there. :)

    Whahuh? Nahhh. You've got it backwards, prof. The eyebrows are clearly a sign of an excellent driver. I mean, I'm always looking around, right? :D

    No no, I think the real question here is - Would YOU trust YOUR car to a moose? :eek:;D

    Heh. You've never been to California. Admittedly, I haven't been to Michigan either, but I suspect that California drivers (myself included) are worse. :D
