SM Lan??

edited October 2003 in Community
Well, after the suggestion in my Vid card thread, and talking to prime today, I'd like to send out a question. Who here on the SM boards would come out to a LAN here in the Detroit, Mi area?? This is just a prelim search for number of people so a location could be determined as there are several we could use. Throw in suggestions below (and if you can come or not), possible dates, etc. Of course this would prolly be a weekend thing, Fri-Sat, that sort of deal... Any help appreciated.

    It'd be somewhere near Detroit Michigan, or the surrounding suburbs. I don't know how big it would be, but I assume that 32 or more would be possible knowing some of the people around here that aren't on SM. I wouldn't really know how to coordinate, I'd have to organize, and use some of the endless knowledge here :)

    I know, I was overcome with joy at the thought of a SM Lan, that I voted before reading the whole title. :doh:

    Alas, if ever a lan were to take place in my area.

    SM North vs. SM South?

    Yes, we could easily fit a 20-30 man lan in my office. it would be tight with 30, but we have the network infrastructure for it, to be sure.

    I vote yes

    That would be awesome, a s-m lan. The only thing is I live in North Carolina, so it is kind of out of the way for me. How long of a drive is it from NC to Detroit anyway? hehe that would be an awesome road trip for me. And with me working my new job I get weekends off, so if I leave here at 5:30 p.m on firday, how long will it take me to get there? hmmmmm



    Ok a quick trip to Yahoo maps, it will take me around 13 hours to drive to Detroit from my house. That will be over 900 miles, but I think I can pull it off myself. If I leave from my house at 6:00 I can arrive in Detroit at around 7:00 a.m saturday morning. But would have to leave sometime sunday afternoon to arive in town to go to work monday morning.

    I think my parents might have something to say about me going that far away though, hehe

    Any short-media foreigner who comes here has an open invitation to stay at my place, that goes without saying.

    Oh, and I'd need new tires... 130mph tires on a 155mph-capable car that I'd be driving through Nevada is a no-no. I'd need something rated for at least 155 :D

    AMENDMENT TO MY LAST POST:

    Any short-media foreigner who comes here has an open invitation to stay at my place, that goes without saying, with the exception of the people on this list:

    Spinner
