That literally seems to be the only LAN center in Denver that is still open. When I called them last time I don't think they had SC2 installed, and they were definitely not open to people bringing in their own computers or laptops.
Any chance DU would have a different place that would be usable, they seemed very open to this sort of thing last time?

Yeah they didn't want to be serious about LAN stuff - have to buy a license to get copies of sc2 for their place. Also, the guy who is usually in there running things is a douchebag that will definitely die alone. JS!

Really would be fun to have another LAN while I'm still around Denver!
We still don't have a venue, which is obviously the most important part. And since it's sc2 we'll need internet to be available as well.
This weekend being anytime from early-evening on Friday the 27th, to perhaps even an all-day Sunday the 29th event since Monday is a holiday anyway for most people.

Still down, I wish I could host this thing so much but I live in a tiny townhouse with 4 people and terrible internet 
Hope you guys can manage to find something!

I'd still really like it to this Saturday or Sunday, but no one seems to know of a place or where we could hold it. Don't think that many people will show on such late notice... so... Someone volunteer your basement/garage!

I reserved the classroom in JMac at DU from 6-11 on Saturday for the meetup.
Location is here, it looks like this. Jonoman, hopefully you can show up because I think you're the only person with DU internet access.
|
Aldrovandi, sent you a PM asking you some stuff.
|
I've messaged L_Master (Eric) to see if 6-11PM on Saturday works for him, and if so to update the OP! This should tentatively work.
JMAC (Johnson-McFarlane) hall is in a residence hall and is a fairly big conference room with tables and internet which should work fine. My ID card will not scan into JMAC past 7PM, I'll look into possibly asking my card to be altered to work (unlikely) or possibly borrowing someone's ID who lives there (also a pain since these ID cards are needed for quite a few things, but should be possible.)

Would we be lanning or just chilling out and watching some games?
|
Well, I think it'd be BYOC if you can so we can play some games, at least that's what I was thinking. Though if you can't bring a computer that's ok.
|
Will the internet be something we all will have access to? I'll bring my computer if it will actually get used...
|
Yeah of course, sorry if that was unclear. Last time we had it at DU (a few months ago) I just changed my user ID's password to something like "teamliquid!" and everyone was able to log onto the internet using my info.
|
I'll be there if the internet works. I can bring my own laptop as well. Anyone know how many people are going to be showing up? Do we need to bring ethernet cable(s) as well or is this all going to be wireless connections? Also, do we have a contact number for whoever is hosting this? Id love to play a few rounds to improve on my game. I'm coming from Vail, wanted to know where I should be parking, I don't really want to pay for a boot on my car either.

Last time we did this at DU some people did have problems with the internet, but it should be avoidable.
Things to note: (that I remember, Jonoman92 might be able to correct or add anything I miss)
- There is wireless internet available
- Expect limited (if any) wired connection
- DU has some security features, to be able to connect you MUST have some kind of firewall/internet security that is Up to Date (this was the main thing that kept people from being able to play last time)
- Any extra Ethernet cables, power stripes, power cords, etc are always useful to bring to Lans, it really sucks to be that guy who lugged his computer all the way only to realize you left your power cable at home.
So if you plan to come you will want to check your internet security and make sure it's up to date, there might be more info on DU's website so if you have questions I'd suggest you look there.
|
Will come. But no point in bringing my comp unless some lovely person out there reading this would have a wireless usb stick that I could use for the night. Anyone? Will trade coaching :D (am a master zerg)
PM me if you can help 
|
Lumi, I do have one you can use if needed, I have a couple, I'll just have to find them, lol. Cool, I'll just bring a couple of extra stuff just in case.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Be sure your computer has up-to-date antivirus protection or the DU internet will not let you get online, and you'll have to hope someone can dl the antivirus+updates to a usb and give them to you, this is annoying, so get an antivirus and update it!
If everyone could bring their own ethernet cable it would be best, and if you have some switches (things to divide up ethernet plugs into more plugs) bring em, the turn out last time was surprisingly large, around 16 I think? This I'm I don't think it'll be more than 10 but we'll see. Last time there weren't wired ethernet plugs available, however since this room is a classroom I'm pretty sure there will be, I'll drop by there tomorrow to confirm.
If you are coming/thinking of coming or just want information PM me and I'll give you my contact info. Also, include in your PM a first name and how many people you are planning on bringing if not just yourself!
