Okay, so when should we have this thing?

I'd rather go a bit earlier than late July this year - we lucked out that the weather wasn't in the high 90's like it was the two weeks before Lan '05. We might not get so lucky again.

I'd like to shoot for late spring, like end of may, early june.

Okay, go!

    I put in my vote for the last weekend in may, it doesn't really matter to me though. I can't want whenever it is.

    Voted for the four early days in June, since may can sometimes have very ****ty weather.

    I'm booked in May (graduation and heading to Florida with the family). Any of the June dates work, though (as I thusly voted). Happy to come up early to set up like last time.

    I voted for them all, because I'll actually be out of school for all dates up there! So, chances of my being able to go have increased significantly. Now, all I have to do is figure out how to pay for the plane ticket and getting my PC up there.

    June is better for me. I'll be at the F100 Supernationals May 18-20 this year, and being out of town two weekends in a row will be tough to swing with the bosses (at work & at home) ;)

    I'm in Class until the end of June... the last two dates (June 23-June 25 & June 30-July 2) are the only dates I can make it.

    Sledge, let your wife know it's a family affair - there's lots of hanging out, usually more hanging out than playing games :D My wife and all of our friends end up spending the whole weekend BSing and drinking and having a good time :)

    I stand a better chance the later it is. If the freakin' HR people would hurry up and freakin' hire me, then I'd be able to make plans a lot easier. :shakehead

    Prime, as you know, I'm pretty new to SM and I want to know what the hell this SM LAN thing is?
    Voted for May because whatever it is, I am not at home in the summer and so I won't be visiting SM often.

    You could try piggybacking with someone...

    We all get together at Brian's house for a weekend with our computers, play videos games, hang out, go out to eat a bunch, and just generally have good times. A staple of SM life. :cheers:

    andy cant afford a hotel. id end up in a tent, or sleeping in my car, which isnt that bad, since my seats are pretty comfortable.

    Generally people tent. You could also get a hotel nearby. Magic slept sitting at his desktop with his arms pulled into his shirt last year :wtf:

    My racing limits me to May 19-20, June 9-11, and June 16-18, and hopefully that doesn't change.

    Only two or three people got a hotel last year. Most people either crash in my house or in a tent. Or don't sleep at all.

    I'm a fan for end of May beginning of June, since it'll be easier for me to actually drive then. Yes, I'll actually be there after I pay this year.
