I’m interested in holding a large LAN party

Hey readers!

Earlier today, I was doing some shopping at OfficeMax when  I noticed the old Circuit City store was still sitting empty with an available for rent sign on the side of it.  It was at this moment that I had a rather big idea.  The old Circuit City store would make a great place for a big LAN party!

I have always wanted to host my own LAN party after attending a good number of them over there years that have ranged from a couple dozen people to over 700 people and I think the old Circuit City store would be the perfect place!  Whenever I have thought about it before, I have never had a decent sized place available for rent or that didn’t at least charge a fortune.  Now, I think I have finally found the place although I haven’t a clue whether the building owners would be interested in renting the place out for a weekend for something like a LAN party.  It is certainly an idea worth investigating.

The next time I am over there where I can get the phone number, I will try calling the owners and see how much they would charge to do something like that assuming they are willing to in the first place.  If the price isn’t too outrageous, then I will see about trying to find some furniture and equipment as well as some volunteers and sponsors for an event.  I’m not real sure but I would guess that place would be able to hold 150-200 LAN party goers.

Would this be something you would be interested in?  This is of course in the Pueblo, CO area so travel may be required depending on where you are, but from my experience, that never seems to matter from most people and I have seen many come from across the country just to go to a LAN party.  If you would be interested in something like this and especially if you would be willing to help and have some good networking equipment, let me know in the comments!
