Hey y'all!

It's been about six weeks since I first posted about the DBO LAN Party I would like you all to come to the beginning of April, and since that's just over 2 months away, I guess it's time for some follow-up!

A handful of you have expressed some strong interest and stated that you would know more after the new year. I would like to start putting together a list of commitments and making plans and arrangements.

Again, the important details are as follows:

Where: Midlothian, Texas. Midlothian is about 25 minutes from either of the major airports (DFW and Love Field). I am more than happy to help arrange picking people up from the airport and getting them to Midlo.

When: April 2-4, 2015. Officially, the LAN will run from Thursday morning (April 2nd) through Saturday (April 4th), but y'all are more than welcome to show up Wednesday and leave Sunday. (That Friday is actually Good Friday, so you may even already have the day off from work!)

Accommodations: The house has four bedrooms and two living areas, along with an airplane hanger in the backyard that has a guest apartment/office. We also have plenty of air mattresses depending on how popular this is.

Cost: Free! As mentioned above, I anticipate that we will have room for everybody to crash for free in the house, so there will not be any cost to share for sleeping arrangements. Obviously, everybody will be expected to help cover the costs of communal food and drinks, and pay for themselves if we go out anywhere.

Activities: Gaming, eating, and more gaming -- of both the video and board varieties. The airplane hangar I mentioned above actually houses the 5,000+ BoardGameGeek library that is used at BGG.CON, so we have unfettered access to any board game that you can possibly imagine wanting to play. We also have the tech to set up a full Artemis bridge (Artemis is TONS of fun in case you're not already familiar with it). I would be more than happy to show anyone around some of the cool stuff Dallas has to offer if there is interest, but I imagine most of our time will be spent playing Halo, Destiny (I know we can get at least one full fire team working just fine on the internet and I'd be interested to see what the network limit is), Mariokart, etc.
