Yeh man we had one kid about age 15 if i remember correctly...He went to at least 4 lans and he was from Charlotte. Both him and his dad would come and they both had their own PC's. It was cool to see them in town when they came. We had people from Tennessee and Virginia come and LAN with us. I think the farthest i remember someone came from was from Georgia and he was related to one of our locals so that is how he knew about us. The most fun events were when we did it in a store that mainly sold cards. I really wish the forums weren't taken down. There was a short video uploaded of us fighting over who wins a case of BAWLS by seeing who can keep their hands in a cooler of ICE water. What made that fun was the last two who were in it the longest we moved the cooler outside where it was actually freezing outside. That was just one of the crazy things we did at the lans. The most memorable one was when we 1st started trying to expand and had our own booth area in a gaming convention. It was called MACE and was mainly cards and board games. Video gaming wasn't even mainstream at the time so we were one of the 1st to host a PC section. The hotel that hosted the event didn't have the proper wireing for all our machines in the convention area. The power kept tripping. We ended up getting a hotel suite with two rooms and a living room/kitchen on the house for all the troubles. We ended up doing the LAN in the hotel room with no power troubles! We had 10 of us in that room! Was great! Sadly that event isn't even in High Point anymore and they do it in Charolette area now. That was the one and only time we attempted to have our own booth in a convention. If we still had the team we did back then we could maybe have a booth at the Playthrough Convention in Raleigh but a more established group already has their grasp on it. At least i know there are groups out there that better adapted to the ever changing gaming world. Not saying ours was a failure. We are slowly getting back together by networking on twitch and mixer. This is where we are now. Are lans a thing of a past? Nope! Just evolved!
