Okay, so I am starting to get some momentum on this LAN event thing, but I do need some help. 

The last time I was involved with LAN gaming, I was working with game developers, and we played usually 2-3 hours at the end of the day. True, the interest was there, as we are all were already on-site, and shared all our games so we could play. We had an on-site IT guy who knew the network inside out, and we had some serious machines. Now, with no real gaming community around here, and no real means to get the word out other my own two feet and one (admittedly unstoppable) mouth, I am reaching out to you, Providence, and surrounding community to come have some fun.

What i do know I have:

One fast connection, with a little hub for 4 machines (yes, we can get more), around 10 - 13 desks, 15- 20 seats, a downtown location (great for beers and chow before/after the gaming), and some basic sober stuf (coffee, water, crackers, and we will be getting Mountain Dew and other highly caffinated and sugar drinks, as needed).

What you should bring:

Your computer, CAT 5 cable (5 feet should be more than sufficient), any kind of hub would be nice to have as back up, and GAMES.

Here is a crux, I don't have anything but Team Fortress 2 on my laptop, and my desktop is too slow nowadays to be worth anything other than a interenet machine.
