Or anywhere in New England for that matter.. I'm sick of all of you having fun out there in CA, FL, even AL.. wtf.......

If anyone holds one, you can count me in and many others such as geno, baffled, klee58.. err.. and more...



[EDIT 3]
updated the title. Seems like the preliminary date is set to Jan 11th, 03.

[EDIT 2] 11/4/02

OK. Jillian seems like a great idea. (I'll be 21 this dec.) Here are list of people who are interested in going. (This will be finalized later after things become more definite)
Spooner
LOLyourFace
(me and possibly my gf)
Windogg
thawolfman
geno
(possibly his gf)
Baffled2
(possibly her bf)
If you LIKE TO BE ADDED, just simply PM me or Spooner. Right now, I'm too busy to come up with a tentative schedule, but don't let me stop you. This is all our gathering, throw ideas back and forth and we'll see what'd become definite.

So far, a dinner out/drinking is the general consensus rather than LAN party. The place is likely to be in Boston where everyone can 'easily' come to. Jillians seems to be the current preliminary gathering spot. Once again, keep up with the communications.


[EDIT] 11/3/02[/b]
hmm.. I can see this happening. I just got back from a 3-day conference, sorry. Yea. I'm definitely down for the meet. I should make some phone calls with ppls I know in Person (eric and karen) I strongly encourage each of you to start talking about it as well. Come up with tentative available dates/place.

I have never played CS/Quake or any other first person shooter games.

It will just be fun meeting some of you clowns :)

What kind of hardware do you need for a Lan party? My and my roomates have a couple 2 Gig Athlons to spare, along with a cable modem. what else do we need? I'll set one up in MD if it isn't expensive ;)

Biggest thing is a switch and a bunch of Cat5. Other than that, you just need floor space and beer. :D

I've got a box of 1000' Cat5 that I can couple, and switches are easy to come by on this campus.
so if y'all make a trip up to Hanover we can have some serious partying at my frat house. :D

Damn, could have done it at my last place. Although I could get the function room at my current place. Dump a few 24 port switches, drag a few servers from the apartment, and lots of beer. That's high quality entertainment. I can spare 4 monitors but the rest of the people need to bring their own.

BTW, I'm in Cambridge by the Galleria Mall. I'll see if I can drag Lord Evermore along.

Right in Davis Square. A snap to get there and plenty of public parking. Best time to go is in the afternoon or else the wait gets to something like 4 hours.

Just kicking out suggestions. We need other people to get in on the act. My place is usually good around lunch time but dinner is a nightmare.

I must've been away a long time Baffled, you're way past me in post count.
