Anyone else thinking of going?!?! I just recently found out I am open to go but not really wanting to go solo, lol.

We do need to keep our eyes and ears open about a big 200+ LAN to go to as a group this lan season (Aug - May) Since most of us have LAN OC shirts, i think it would be cool to get 20 people together and car-pool and go to a biggie! Stompfest was cool, but lets set our sites a little higher and do something HUGE as a community!

Hope some of you guys come

Also we have a larger LAN in the spring (march) where we set our cap to 200, so free up your calender around the first week of march

I talked Gweg into coming with me next weekend, lol. Should be a good time, interested in seeing how long I can stay up through the night without taking a nap somewhere.

Are you really a fan of the "5 hour energy" shots? I'm a person who doesn't really do lots of caffiene in my normal life and i usually go to be around 10 every night, but at LAN's i usually try a MT. Dew or two just to make sure i have the gas to get home after the LAN...

NO! I don't use energy drinks at all. I'll start getting a headache and the shakes. I'm good with a pop or even just making sure I drink enough water to keep my metabolism going.

High Sugar stuff like that makes me sick.



I mentioned it b/c I know it has worked for the past for D-Ray
