http://thefuriousangels.com/index.php?topic=5846This is not meant to take away from Ana's party, but if you're in the midwest and can't cover airfare or can't make it to DC for other reasons, I am offering up my home for the final day in MxO.
Bloomington, IL
Airport Code: BMI
I'll copy most of this from the
LAN party I tried to throw a couple years back...
Details: -July 31st-Aug 2nd. I'm taking the 31stoff work, and can provide rides to/from the airport if needed (it's a 5 min ride round trip). Everyone MUST be gone by 9pmish on Aug 2nd. I work for a living on Monday (plus I need a lot of beauty sleep).
-This is my home - If you disrespect my family, me, or the property, you're out regardless of your travel situation. (usually doesn't need to be said, but is a point to be made considering the next bullet...)
-BYOB. If you are 21+, bring drinks, enjoy them in moderation. Also needless to say, if your drinking, you're not driving.
-Smoking is ONLY allowed in the backyard... I might have some cigars for the finale.
-I respect my neighbors, so will you.
-I do have a guestroom. First person who comes will have dibs, UNLESS I have a friend of family member visit. For now all I can promise is that you can have a floor to sleep on. So if you want a warm bed, better bring one as you will not sleep with me, or my wife.
Equipment: -The main focus will be PC games (MxO), but XBox360 will also be there.
-I will offer up my computer as the main server for the night, but this also means we play what I have/want/can install.
-I have a 24 port router, but BRING YOUR OWN CAT5!
-I can supply at LEAST one xbox360.
Equipment needed: -Bring your computer if you can! If you are flying and unable, I may be able to accomodate.
-Extra router. I have not used this managed router yet, so am not completely sure if it works.
-Games (PC/360)
-360 controllers. I have 2.
-Extra folding table. Plastic/wood/whatever. If you have one, we might need it.
-PC Games (supply more ideas):
-XB360 Games (supply more ideas):
