Wha?
The wife and I have been discussing this off and on for a few months already.
My health being what it is; I wouldn't be able to make the trip alone, and she's expressed interest in seeing Maryland... the problem is; as of June 01 I will be receiving medicare/medicaid and there will be some serious time spent at the doctor. As it stands; there's a good possibility that I can get most (if not all) my part B covered locally, but I don't know yet if it will cover everything I need.
There is a good possibility that I might require surgery, and of course I will be doing everything I can (including hypnosis) to quit smoking.
Point being; if I can make it this year, I will probably be staying at a hotel with my wife (for medical reasons)... if money & my health allows me to go at all.

You know I'll keep you up to date anyway, but more so because I would really like to make it this year.

Get a good Baseball Bat it will help you quit smoking. Everytime you feel the urge to light up, take the Bat out and hit some ____________. You can fill in the space.

Lets wait and see what happens with the LAN. There are other possibilities we could think about like having the LAN in your area. We could rent space (Suite, Community Center, etc) for a few days and setup there.

Brainstorm Folks..

For the amount of time we actually spend gaming together at the LAN, renting out a place would probably get pretty expensive. Dave has been generous enough to host it at his home the past two years, and I've truely enjoyed it both times.

Lurk I hope your health improves enough to where you can make the trip this year. You've been missing out bro.

DEV! WTF SON! The TAZ LAN won't be the same without the crazy canuck! Is it schol thats stopping you? You won't miss too much on a thursday and friday will you?

Anyway, I'll confirm my attendance as of right now. My sister is getting married the weekend before, so I don't forsee anything else getting in the way, unless of course I get a new job and have no vacation time :p I'll make the other kiddies aware that this thread exists.

Count me in, and this time I have a machine worth bringing.

This may be the year where everyone can invite a friend and/or significant other. I have a few gaming friends at work, I might ask them if they are interested. Taz, definitely ask Ryan to come again, and anyone else like-minded.

As of now, I would like to confirm for Saturday night. We are supposed to be going to Florida in July, but I believe that is the week before. Boney, congrats on finally getting rid of your sister. I can imagine you would like to celebrate with your friends!

Well, it's been coming for some time now, but I was hoping I could find another way; I won't be making it this year either.
If I'm lucky, I might get in to see the doctors by next month, because with Penney working, I have no transportation anywhere. My brother has already used his vacation, and my sister just got laid off.
The only good thing about this is; if you do it again next year, she'll be getting her vacation right before... and she wanted to get a little vacation of her own.
I'll be there in spirit guys... and online. :/
