I was thinking of coming but flights are 450 to cincy. I could fly into detroit and bum a ride from dizzy but flights are still like 380 bucks.
-
Window, how much is a flight to Chicago for you? I am driving right thru there on the way.
-
ok widow i did some reasearch for one you never fly into cincy... way way way too expensive. see i live between cincy and indianapolis on interstate 74. so it would be way less for you to fly into indianapolis and i can just drive the hour to pick you up and bring you down. also there is skybus.com its a really cheap airline. you can leave out of newburgh new york and fly into columbus ohio and back arriving friday at noon and leaving monday at 10am round trip for 106.00. then columbus ohio is a hour and half drive from me. in fact ryuk and itchy are driving down from columbus so you can ride with them. so if you fly in to indy or columbus i will personally find you a way to get here even if i have to drive you from the airport myself to save you some cash. also check into greyhound and see what the prices are... i am not sure exactly where you live but i can be sure you get here from the bus station.. but if you want to check out skybus just goto www.skybus.com they are insanely cheap.
-
smurf thanks for the frontpage news just a few changes please.
deathhaven and princess have confirmed they will be here. also leet is coming wheather he likes it or not.. i will duct tape him and drag him here myself lol....
we are also looking that barry, kasey, and will might be here.
-
Window, how much is a flight to Chicago for you? I am driving right thru there on the way.
Again Video lol

Looks like my wife was wrong with the dates for spring break here. It isnt till the latter part of March, so I'm going to try and make it. Most likely I'll be there Friday and Saturday.
Which is the closest place to stay?
That is good news that you should be able to make it. Looking forward to meeting you.
-
OK EVERYONE I HAVE MADE A THREAD FOR HOTEL ARRANGEMENTS. TO HELP CUT THE COST FOR YOU ALL. I HAVE CALLED ALL THESE PLACES AND GOT YOU DEALS. SO IF YOUR NEEDING A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE WEEKEND GOTO THIS THREAD http://theelders.net/forum/index.php?topic=5886.msg72379#msg72379
AND IT WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. LEET I HOPE YOUR WIFE EXTENDS YOUR LEASH THAT WEEKEND SO YOU CAN COME.
-
Updated with new information.
-
I wish I could go, but things have just been too hectic with my moms 3 operations and plus It's a bit far.
-
well the hours of the lan party will go as followed friday and saturday available play time is 10am till 3am... if we want to stay later that is fine but no consumption of alcohol is allowed after 3am
sunday we have the place from 10am till midnight
also very important.
THIS PLACE HAS NO CREDIT CARD MACHINE. YOU HAVE TO PAY CASH FOR YOUR DRINKS. NO TABS
again we are providing dinner all three nights. but breakfast and lunch is on yourself. and you should treat your host also lol just kidding. but keep in mind that the place we are playing has its own kitchen and i am going to attach their menu to this post.
this place has an alarm system and camera system setup for security so and its in a small town. so at night its up to you to do with your system as you please. if you want to take everything with you thats fine if you want to leave it. then its fine. or you can leave everything but your cpu and take that.
i have confirmed that minors that will attend will be marked on their hand an X stating they cant be served alcohol but minors can attend.
if you have any other questions let me know.

Sorry guys, I don't think I will be able to come. Unless someone can afford to put me up for the night. I only live a few hours away in Columbus, but don't think I can afford it right now. Let me know if anyone lives around here so we might be able to hitch a ride together.
-
well me and smurf live here and he is willing to put people up at his house.

WoW it is really sneaking up on us... we have less than a week left till the big blowout... its amazing how you take one small idea and turn it into something huge. this started out with only like 10 people in my basement with some folding chairs now its grown to over 45 people with a party hall, big screen tv, food, waitresses, rock band, and a raffle. this is going to be one of the biggest things me and smurf have ever planned. as we countdown to zero hour i know my nerves and blood pressure is going to be high making sure this goes off with no problems.
I just want to thank smurf, video, leet, and walmart security for helping me make this happen. you guys are great. and lets have some fun.
-
See tell you wife or who ever your not the only NUt Bag out there

-
Cool - it might come in handy if we need to build a fire...
:-D
-

I will have extra power cables and some extra ethernet cables available to use, but I will require a $10 deposit while you are using them. If you do not return the cables in a good condition or not at all I get to keep your money to replace my items.
