LAN Party, Summer 2009

I think the last time I tried to post events to Google Calendar it freaked out a bit, but I'm gonna try it again.

Meanwhile, I'm looking at June 20th weekend if that's one Jac can make, too. Yes, we'll organize it entirely around his schedule. :)

Google Calendar Event link (if it works):

Map link is here:

We won't be dividing into Morlocks and Eloi, since the habitat has changed a bit. We'll just divide the downstairs room the best we can like we've done before.

There's a 24-port 10/100 switch here, too. There's some sleeping space for anyone wanting (or needing) to stay overnight (or two, but beyond day 3 I start charging you rent.. unless you cook, or need to put a roof vent in a Subaru :) ).

Parking, sadly, is still a bit tight, so if *at all* possible, try to carpool (but having gear is gonna make that more tough, I know). You can see on the Google Satellite map what I'm talking about.

I have the 53" projection TV and my own Wii with Guitar Hero World Tour now, but if someone wants to bring more stuff, then bring it.

And from Bill's list of stuff-to-bring:
(yes, I know some of these are obvious):

Computer
Make sure it boots windows and networking works.
Make sure you have the games installed and patched fully. If you can't play online with them, they aren't patched all the way.

Display
An LCD if you got it, but not the 50" plasma!

Wired mouse/keyboard
You can try the wireless, but have a wired standby just in case there is interference.

Mouse pad(s)
We forgot this last time, and Duane's table doesn't bounce lasers very well. You've been wanting that Fatal1ty Mouse Pad anyway - go get it!

Headphones
A headset with a mic wouldn't be remiss. Don't bring speakers.

Power strip

Known good ethernet cable
10' is ok, >= 25' is best

folding chair
(if ya got one)

Cash
Bring 20$ each please to cover food, drinks, and wear and tear on Duane's house. Anything left over is going to Duane's NMSS fund, so bring extra if you want. We could always have a 5$ cash game on Saturday night :) (I should have my NMSS fund raising started by then, too.)

Food and Drink
Will be provided. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Chips, Beer and Soda. Oh, and a stocked bar. What else could you want?
