btw just a FYI for all;

tomorrow there's supposed to be snow showers in fairfax. Shouldn't be enough to effect roadways much but it was a little scary checking the weather report and seeing a 90% chance of snow. Not nearly enough for me to give concern about having to cancel.

the weather statement issued for fairfax co. says expect a dusting on bridges and grassy surfaces, so looks pretty minor at least at the lan center. can't speak on behalf for folks in MD or elsewhere.

that stinks!

My current list has over 40 confirmed still. I really hope the snow impact is low tomorrow. especially in MD for ppl coming from there and stuff...

def not gonna risk planning anything in later jan or feb for snow risks that I dont want to deal with. Why does it always snow on Saturdays? Last year it snowed like every Saturday in Jan and Feb.

If anyone coming wants my cell number for tomorrow just fire me a PM here or send an email.

lol Rob, epic accident in front of your place today. Was like a super triple T-bone. Noobs running red lights.

People in the morning groups AND ALTERNATES

Please try and get to the LAN center around 10:45 or 11:00 so I can get you checked in and you have time for warmup. This is a problem we've had the last LANs and I'm going to be a bit more strict on our time this go-round. We need less people in the morning groups on PCs finishing up groups when the evening folk show up. The evening guys tend to never get a chance to warm up and get ready before I get their groups started and it's lame.

I will be starting morning groups no later than 11:30. If you aren't signed in and at a PC by that time, count on groups likely to be started and you'll have to play in the evening groups if there's room. No more late morning group starts! We didn't get it going till like, 12:15 last time cause of stragglers.

Alternates, late sign ups, I would recommend coming in for the morning groups. This way we can get you in the morning groups as they (at least at the last few LANs) tend to have no-shows. Bigger = better groups. More games to play and it's way less crowded.

Brackets tend to start around 3:00, so plan lunch and maybe even dinner accordingly if you're going to be in brackets. Again, earlier we get morning group started = earlier we get evening group started = time in between evening groups and brackets = time to get dinner and just chill for a bit until we get the bracket games playing.

We'll also likely be using the big ass TV in the back there for spectating bracket games. We had epic camera skills (courtesy of Ipp) last time and it was great to be able to comment and watch the games without crowding the players.

Rest up gents, see you tomorrow!

Any chance I can get swapped to one of the groups that will be starting at 11? I've got two friends who are both alts (one of whom is getting a ride with me).
