Yes. That's already very easy to find public information ala whitepages or a variety of other options.

DIA. If people were actually flying in I would be happy to provide transport to and from if needed and within my vehicle capacity.
Lodging at my place is also an open offer barring more than 20 people or so coming.

Hope to watch some game casts and interviews.

If we get a few people from TL that show up we will definitely have a nice streaming party out here
If I get more than 7, I'll donate some plasma or something and throw up a $100 winner take all bracket.

From what i was able to research so far, It's looking quite promising for me to attend. I just need to run a few things by my supervisor at work, but other than that i should be solid. If things work out should i bring my laptop or will there be spare comps? Also I'll try to drag AOT along for the ride. ^.^

No spare comps. Holy shit if you and AoT came that would be amazing

There is probably less than a 50% chance I'm coming to this but I drew a picture of us as if we went anyways.

Faust sleeps standing up.
Poor Herbmon on the floor. But he almost looks more comfortable than me.
|
I will be taking my private chopper from LAX landing on top of breckrnridge highest peak and skiing the rest of the distance with my pc in my backpack into your property. I hope your ok with that
|
I'm down.
|
Steamy!

Didn't happen. Herbmon was the only one potentially willing and able to attend

I think it's more about the distances? I could feasibly drive from 1 end of Germany to the other in a day, but if you are in one of the most populated cities in NA, it would take 2-5 days of like 10hrs of driving per day.
Then you could say well you could fly there, but that flight will be $200-$400 round trip and I don't know about you guys but if I'm flying to an event, I would like to check out the city and stuff.
Which would be cool cause you can explore a new city while you're there right? Typically yeah, but this event is in the middle of no-where Colorado, Colorado itself really only has 2 places to check out: Denver and Aspen. Ok cool, so we'll goto Denver? Well rent a car cause it's 1 hour away. Aspen? 4.5 hours.

Have you...lived in Colorado? You definitely haven't lived in Fort Collins, but it doesn't really sound like you've been here at all. I'm almost triggered by this haha. I don't want to be mean, but what you wrote is super misinformed.
Fort Collins is an awesome city. Great downtown, good bar scene, excellent food scene, possibly the best craft beer scene in Colorado, high quality hiking, Horsetooth, etc. I don't think Denver is worth going to in all honesty. It's just a generic big city for the most part. I could take you out to different places each day in Fort Collins for at least a month and you'd get a totally unique, cool experience each time.
Beyond that, Colorado is worth visiting primarily for it's outdoors. Not Aspen or Denver, That means skiing, hiking, cycling, 14ers, etc. This means if you're not an outdoors/activity person, Colorado is pretty meh. Denver certainly has some cool spots for that westside...but so does every other spot on the Rockies. Boulder blows Denver our of the water for having an amazing outdoors. Fort Collins isn't as good as Boulder for awesome outdoor spots, but with Horsetooth and some good hiking it's easily as good as Denver for outdoor stuff.
Skiing you'd always have to rent a car for. Aspen is cool, but there are a dozen or more small mountain areas or just other spots that are as good or better than Aspen, but a tenth of the price and less traffic/crowds.
