DescentBB

It's almost March and only 3 more months till summer starts! What's the deal for the lan?

Yea, I wanna start making plans for time off of work for this and summer vacation

Punisher uttered the words yesterday in chat.. "Pipe Dream"

Don't hold your breath

the venue changed management and they now want $1200 up front to book the room, that plus the $300 we have to lay down for mobile power bring the grand total to $1500. last year it was $500 total up front which Rook and myself split. Was fairly tolerable, but we're certainly not laying out $750 each and then waiting till the day of the LAN to get it back. A lot of people waited till the last minute to pay or waited till the day of the LAN to pay. I dont wanna go through that again, especially with $1500.

The other venues in the area were all $1000+ per night, too expensive. Rook and I busted our asses finding the perfect place, and it was. Good price, great room, everything. It's all a matter of the cash right now. We're open to suggestions, benefactors, partners, etc. But I'm not interested in chasing people around for money. So if you guys want a LAN this year in Chicago, it's gonna be a group effort.

chilan 2k5 will be hosted in my garage!

That works too. I just need a place to drop my PC and play I can rent a room somewhere.

I'm willing to step up to the plate and make a donation which I understand may not be returned if proceeds from the LAN don't cover the costs.

Pun, I've spoken to you already. You know how much I can commit. Anyone else willing to put in some extra cash (it's only money), please speak up.

I'm overwhelmed by the flood of posts coming through. Holy cow I didn't realize you all cared so much. Another one bites the dust.

I care It's not like I did allnighters last year at chilan for no reason

Just do it in your garage or something. We can all pitch in or pay a door fee for food and the electric. Dibs on the sofa

Pun, this is the dbb. This forum has nothing to do with people who play descent. Silly.

That's just because you're an "alumni." Speak for yourself

SARCASM fool. :p

I can probably do a search in my neck of the woods, mayby in and around Schaumberg and Des Plaines area, theres lots of venues there. Ill let you know what I come up with.

Hmm.... I have a garage

Wonder how much it would cost to move Clutch's garage to Chicago...

More than any of you could afford


Seriously though, If it comes down to it and you can't find anything, it's available.

thank you, brother.

How about setting up a pledge system?

$50 = basic membership
$100 = Charter Member
$150 = Community Sponsor
$200 = Grand l337 Poobah

Im still waiting on a few places to call me back...

God, how long does it take to ask for prices from the sales guy?

I've got a few bucks in my wallet and a rubber. Does that help?

Seriously though -- I can help out Vinny.

I've still got the Cat5 cables from the last one.

Yeah 1500 bucks that dosn't seem too bad. If 50 people make it at 30 bucks a pop that's 1500. And if some people can't afford it I'm sure others can cover. Could setup a paypal thing like Rock did for califests..(no negative coments please)Jazzy can help too. And with the help of Super Grover I'm sure anything can happen!

I dont think even super grover cold get 50 peeps to show, let alone send money in advance. I think 12 people payed in advance last year and that was for a definate event.

ps all told the total was closer to $2000 than $1500. So you really need 40 peeps @ $50.

Whats a good date? At last check I heard July was better than August and im thinking of a target date towards the end of July.

This is NOT set in stone, I am trying to get an idea for prices and availability.

Pun, If you need network gear for this one, PM or Email me.

Top Wop, if you're serious about this, I got your back on the website, forums and sponsorships.

I just need time, work has been a ★■◆●.

I might be able to help.
If you need cash for a deposit of some sort
I think I should be able to manage that. So
let me know.

Yoyo Warmaster,
Well, it was sold to a university now, in Oak Park. The people who run it suck a big hairy one. After the 2nd LAN, they didn't want us back though. the mofos.
Hope there's another one this year. Maybe there'll be some quackers and halflifers as well as the descenters.

We have an excellent venue, we have equipment,we have plenty of power, we have a website and forums to organize. What we dont have is $1500. Anyone serious about becoming a partner in this can PM me to discuss the details.

I'm willing to pay up 50, probably the most I could give.

50 is tolerable for me aswell. got a new job



lol, hey pun did you ever get that PM i sent you about this?
