NY state LAN racing event

    just a bit of an update...

    The local media will be writing an article about Internet racing.  They
are also interested in attending the LAN event should we hold one.  I have a
building in mind however there are no attractions near by.  There is a new
Water park under construction 6 miles away and is expected to be open this
summer.  Being Whine country,  There are a number of wineries with tours.
and there are a couple other smaller attractions with in a 30 minute drive.

    I'll be getting prices on renting this building shortly.  What I *need*
to know is how many would absolutely attend so that I have an idea if it is
worth it or not.  Second,  Because we would have to rent the place, there
may be a cover charge.

    Next,  I don't have the equipment for the LAN.  All I could provide is
the location and my computer system.  So, I would need someone to donate the
use of Cables, Hubs, and even a server.  Last, It would be a great help if
we had someone attend that has large LAN racing experience.  Someone who can
pass along their experience with tips and tricks and what not.  If I get all
of this there will be a LAN event here in western NY.  about 30 minutes
south of Rochester, NY just off the expressway.

    If I can at the very least get enough people committed to joining in on
this event, I will be hitting the computer stores, and other odd places to
help out with the equipment and hopefully prizes of some sort.  I just need
to know how many would attend with out a doubt in order to see if it is
worth the effort.

    Please email me directly with a "yes, I *Will* Definitely attend"
and/or "I *might* attend". et..

    I should have waited a few minutes before I posted that.  I just check
this place out.  There's no question there's enough room for even 150
people.  In fact, if there were 150 it would be a whole lot cheaper.  as it
is I may end up paying the rental fee my self..  So, with that in mind and
with this building, there shouldn't be any cover charge.  even if we open
the bar! :)

I myself is attending the LIKEREAL Albany LAN in August.  There should be
around 100+ people there.  Can't afford it twice, sorry :(
