Well folks - time and time again you folks have clamored for a PimpRig/PCApex get-together. We have the makings of one if y'all are interested. Registration opened for
PDXLAN 24 hours ago, and so far me and NoSlak are already registered, Phlak is sitting on the fence, and BeachBum is right behind us awaiting his paypal payment to clear. It'll be September 22nd-25th, Portland Oregon, we're all sitting at table 19, and money talks and BS walks.
Snagging a few lines from their "
What is PDXLAN" page.
 | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | PDXLAN is the West Coast Mecca of LAN parties, parties with 500 computer gamers that come from all over the United States, and Canada, to game for four days straight. Competitve Tournaments intrigue gamers to come compete, and win prizes from sponsors such as INTEL, BFG, VisionTek, and NVIDIA. What distinguishes PDXLAN from professional tournaments is that PDXLAN believes in giving to the average gamer rather than just the pro gamers. that's why you will see the largest prize chest items go to contests and the general raffle. PDXLAN is about having fun for four days with unlimited soda, loads of contests, meeting friends, and playing the games you love.
PDXLAN now enters its 3rd season after hosting more than 8 large scale LAN parties in the past 2 years. | |  | |  | |
Is it worth going? Well that depends I guess, but personally I find it more fun than Las Vegas anymore so this is replacing my traditional Las Vegas run in September... Yes folks, you can lift your jaw off the floor, I've found something I like more than strippers, BlackJack, liquor, and high priced room service. Trust me folks - I REALLY loved strippers, liquor, and BlackJack too. It's a kick, and an good time to do your experiments on caffeine tolerence because the weak-sause caffeine such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and such is free as mentioned above.
So folks - how does it sound? Wanna step up, or are we going to have years and years of "We really ought to have...." convos again? I know lots of you aren't going to be able to due to logistics, but hey.. if you're excuse is vacation time/money, I've given you all plenty of time to plan.

Just remember, it may seem silly to pay this far ahead - but it'll get very hard for us to sit in a group if you wait. You select your seat when you pay, if you don't pay and select a seat early... you're SOL.
