Streetgeek 9.08 August 2009 Lan Report (RetroLan)
This LAN was RETRO-LAN, and it was a huge amount of fun. Well, I had fun, anyway. The console area was packed with retro gear, and the StreetGeek Viral 2009 was a huge highlight of the weekend.
Sponsors!
We'd like to thank our major sponsors,
Allneeds Computers, providers of only the best value swag in the way of computer parts and peripherals. Also, of course the
Colonel Light Gardens Uniting Church, for hosting StreetGeek.
Affiliates and Friends!
We'd also like to put in a special mention for our pals over at
Reloaded, a 400+ (max capacity exceeds 1000) person LAN that Valhalla's crew is putting on with some assistance from other groups on the weekend of January 16th next year. Pitched as the ultimate video game and anime festival, Reloaded has year after year put on a great show. As part of mutual support and cooperation between StreetGeek and Reloaded, Reloaded are responsible for the awesome
Alienware showbags that were at the door for FREE this LAN. If you missed out, there's a whole box left for next LAN, so get in and get some. And we all know, free swag is the best kind of swag there is! They also kindly gave us a number of awesome Call of Duty mugs, so they'll be going out to you punters as minor prizes over the next few LANs. StreetGeek is most pleased to be able to support Reloaded in this way, and we're absolutely sure that all of the StreetGeek attendees appreciate the free swag! If you'd like to know more, please direct your attention to
this thread.
The next
Valhalla is August 29th, a whole bunch of SG regulars attend Valhalla too, so you wont be alone.
Ignite is planning their next shindig on September 5th. You're looking forward to it, and so am I. A full commitment's what I'm thinking of, ... I'm going to shut up now.
Vortex LAN is a new group that's just kicked up in the Barossa. They've held one event so far, and the next one's October 31st.
Eureka LAN has planned their next event for September 12th.

Bottle Drive
Our last bottle drive netted a paltry $106. The next one is in October, and this time we'll come to you on the Sunday after the LAN if you have a few full boxes waiting for us.
Free Monies
I got a $15 myer voucher for FREE this LAN. Did you?! A pair of enterprising psychology honours students sat down SG attendees this weekend to a 30 minute stint of brain-picking, rewarding each and every willing guinea pig with $15 to spend at Myer. What's better than $15 for free? Only $50 for free! tWoolie was lucky enough to earn himself a $50
Allneeds voucher. How did they know we like Allneeds so much? Maybe they read our website. Sneaky scum!
Charitober
All money collected from ticket sales, and an appropriate proportion of supermembership fees will be donated to a charity OF YOUR CHOICE at 09.10. Voting for the recipient charity will be held during organ practice (so about 2:00pm) on the Saturday of the LAN. We'll make the donation by direct deposit that same afternoon before the closing ceremony. It'll be awesome.
n00bvember
As per tradition, n00bs are free at n00bvember. However, we've been very close to capacity all year, so seats are limited. We've never turned a punter away, but please just be aware that this limitation exists!
