A big thank you to anyone who was able to attend JanLAN 2012, the photos are now up and we have posted the full post-event report. If you attended the event we would appreciate it if you completed this brief survey.

This year we have a couple special treats for Janlan attendees. A massage therapist will be coming in and giving chair massages at $20 for 15 minutes and 35$ for 30 minutes. In addition the bar will be open for business to any attendee (alcohol sales limited to ages 21 and over).

JANLAN 2012 is just around the corner and this year promises to be bigger than ever. Our recent merger with Blue Dawn Gaming has allowed us to expand our efforts to create an even better event. Last year saw amazing skills and outstanding competitions. Lots of prizes were given away including computer gaming cases, high powered network cards, gaming memory and much more. The sponsors for this event treat us well.

Pre-registration is now open for JanLAN 2012, please go here to purchase your tickets. Remember seats fill up fast, so register now to ensure your seat at the event and the pre-registration price of 35$.

JanLAN 2012 will once again be held at Elks Lodge 357 in Eugene, Oregon. The event will take place from 4:00pm Friday, January 20th to 12:00pm Sunday, January 22nd, but if you must arrive earlier you can speak with the coordinator for this event at dhulegaard@bluedawnaquarium.com.

We have a tentative game list that will change as plans develop. Games played will not be limited to this list, play what you like. If everyone makes an effort to have most of these games, then we should be able to to have everyone involved together at some point. Only the games on this list will however be supported by the hosting crew with patches and updates. If you have any recommendations to add to this list please contact Dave, Brent or Ben.

In order to make this event fun for everyone with the least amount of hassle, everyone will be expected to comply with the following requirements.

1. Everyone must bring a working machine to JANLAN, no on-site repairs or upgrades will be allowed.
2. Every attendee must bring a 20' (minimum) LAN cable and a surge protector/power strip.
