Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going to the gaming center where the LAN will be held. Got to talk with the owner about how I want to set up some Halo things to display. Here are a few pics of the place the LAN will be held at (It’s bigger than it looks in the pics):
As you can see there is a bathroom. As well, the owner informs me that he will have snacks for sale. Everything is $1 each with exception to 5-hour energy drinks. You of course can bring your own snacks.
In this area is where I’ll have much of my Halo display and where we’ll have the Halo Showcase portion of the LAN.
Part of the set up. The larger TV will be used to watch the FFA tourney once a person has been knocked out of it.
More of the set-up. He has a total of 16 tv/console set-ups. So no equipment is needed by attendees. Just bring yourself and whatever drinks/snacks you want for the night.
Don’t forget there will be pizza and a drink included with your paid admission to the event.
Beyond this, I also got some great news from Mega Brands, makes of Halo Mega Bloks. They will be donating prizes for the FFA tournament. As well, they will be providing additional items for door prizes to be given to each paid LAN Event attendee.
We’re still working on the logistics of what the prizes will ultimately be. That said, I now have a list of 20 people who have said they are coming to the LAN. I should add that there is NO limit to the number of people that can attend. Doutbful will hit a Fire Code violation of attendees.
So if you’re thinking about attending, you have until Aug 23, to confirm it. Send me an e-mail at [email protected] with your intention on coming. There is no preregistration cost to this, however I ask that if you do send an e-mail that you are coming, please show up.
As always, for complete information on the LAN, please go here!
