planing a large LAN Party, need some advice from the pro's

[Adul]

well a friend and I are planning a LAN party for MAY 10th. We are looking to have about 30 people or so. To pay for food we are asking people to pitch in 10 bucks each. We are looking into the power requirements at the place we are renting for this party. (rec ceenter at my complex). It has a pool table big screen TV, full kitchen etc. We plan to hit up costco for food and supplies.

This is what i plan for food so far

10 18" costco pizzas
2 Boxes of Tacitos
1 Large jug of salsa
6 Pound bag of Corn chips
A large variety of sodas
1 bag of Pretzels
Nestea mix
lots of water
ice
Cups
Plates
Napkins
trash bags

We are working on getting more tables and chairs for this event and maybe buying a couple as well.

We'll have a dedicated server for gaming, maybe 2 if we can.
A dedicated music box loaded with 1000's of MP3, people will be able to hit a up a webpage and just add music to the que. ( we may stream as well not sure yet)

Fee's
10 bucks paypal
12 at door

So does anyone have suggestions, ideas, comments?

Munchies

Everybody gets the munchies after smoking weed. A good host will offer you something to snack on, but don't be greedy.

Here are some points to keep in mind:

1) Ask permission. Ask your host's permission before grabbing food from the fridge or pantry.

2) Pace yourself. If you eat too fast you'll make yourself sick and there won't be any munchies left for anyone else.

3) Clean up your mess and throw away the trash. Don't leave your wrappers and crumbs for the host to clean up.

4) Supply the munchies. If you regularly smoke at the same house, you should supply the munchies on occasion.

[edro]

We have 90+ people every month @ Whempys in Columbus, Ohio Check out some of the pics in the Archived Parties section.

It's a blast!

I don't really know how much food they buy though. THey have a pop machine (pop is only $.25), a vending machine, free hotdogs, free chips and salsa, free chips/pretzels, free BBQ Beef, free Sloppy Joe. I know they spend like $200+ on food each party. They charge $15 a person though, so they still make a few bucks.

i realy appreciate it.

i am currently arguing the food mounts with a friend of mine who is also organizing it with me. he think we need to back down on snack foods. I disagree of course I want our guest to have enough munchie foods

Why does it have to be pizza? that sh1t is going to make you fat. Sitting around and eating carbohydrates and drinking sugar water. That got to be some kind of diet. Have a BBQ instead. Eat some delicious steak, chicken, ribs, and etc.

 

[ElFenix]

you forgot
2 handles of vodka
1 cannister of koolaid
water to taste

Cheese makes you constipated...for when you don't want people to spend their time in the restroom. and it's cheaper

I think, unless you mix it b4hand, the nestea mix will not go well. People will be either jittery or tired by the time the normal food and beverages wear out and will spill tea mix on floor, attracting ants and crap. Plus, impromptu tea isn't really all that good.
