ahhh good ol lan parties...I remember these about 14 years ago when I was at college...lugging heavy ass PC's around to someone's house, spend 6 hours setting it all up, then start playing.
(CS:source days!)
then start drinking
then start a passing contest on who's best
then drink more
then argue more before going to sleep
good freaking times!
although many might not want to do a lan party, what about a BBQ/pub/meet kinda thing? I use to do them regularly with one of my old car clubs.
I used to organise medium sized lanparties, twice a year with a group of 40 to 50 students. That was a lot of fun, I did the entire organisation of it though, so wiring everything, putting all the tables and chairs up, thinking about fire-hazard-safety, making sure there is enough power per group etc. and the PR, oh, what a load of work. I don;t know where I got the time from back then.
but, two years ago we had a meetup with some Dutch members (TommyJ, ShadowFax, Me, Raneva, Quic and even non dutchies Morthor and his GF, came over).
I liked it, and I'd like to have a more international meet at one point as well. Although money might be a issue for some I guess.
Flights aren't much of an issue, Ryan air and the likes are pretty cheap.
But I'm not flying my pc anywhere.
