HBOHIO! 2013: The Year of the LAN.
Hot on the heels of HBOMB and a little before KFL, I come to announce to you, the people, that I am ready to throw my hat into the ring and host a little event I’d like to call HBOHIO. ▪ ▪ ▪ What? HBOHIO: The LAN Train of 2013 continues to the Buckeye state. ▪ We will play Halo, all of them! (Other games TBD)
▪ ▪ ▪ When? ▪ Official LAN dates are Saturday April 20th and Sunday April 21st.
Why April? Weather in Ohio is a fickle thing. The goal is to dodge any winter nastiness and summer face melting. In addition, Bryan Newman is also hosting his LAN about one month later and I don’t want to step on any toes. Besides, this opens up the window for back to back HBO LANs! How cool is that?! ▪ ▪ ▪ Where? My condo located in [REDACTED], Columbus Ohio [REDACTED]. Full address will be disclosed in private to confirmed attendees. For those wanting to ball park possible drive times, I live near the town of POLARIS, OHIO. ▪ ▪ ▪ How? ▪ Pelicans, trains and Warthogs. I highly encourage those wishing to attend to consider carpooling. Not only do you get to save on gas monies, you get to be trapped in a vehicle with a fellow HBOer! For hours even! For those wishing to fly, port Columbus is about 15 to 20 minutes away from my residence (depending on traffic). Since it is close, I am willing to pick up and shuttle anyone who might prefer to fly in. For an idea on where the airport is in relation to my neck of the woods, please see this link. ▪ ▪ ▪ Why? ▪ To play Halo and hangout of course! 2013 is shaping up to be full of surprises for our little community. With a new Halo out and a new franchise from Bungie due soon, I wanted to take the opportunity to host my own get-together of fellow HBOers. If you went to HBOINDY last year, then you’ve got a pretty good idea on what to expect. If you are not sure, check out my perspective here. One main difference however is that there's no curfew or set time we must stop each night. Will it be like HBOMB? I can’t say, I couldn't afford to go :( What I can say is that you will have a lot of fun, you’ll meet interesting people, kill them, and if we’re playing Halo 4, have them spawn behind and kill YOU! In addition you’ll also make memories that are sure to give you lols for years to come! ▪ ▪ ▪ Cost As host I feel it is my duty to take care of certain expenses. After all, asking you to spend your hard earned money to travel to my house to play Halo, while fun, is not without costs. As such, I am providing 100% free lodging at my place, for up to 16 guests. If you can make it, I will have room for you to sleep. In addition to room, I will also be providing meals. This will include 2 breakfasts (1 hot, 1 cold), 1 lunch and 2 dinners. I am asking guests to provide their own funds for 1 lunch that we will all go out for. There will also be snacks and drinks available throughout the weekend. For the meals I am providing I will do my best to ensure that you are satiated, however if your hunger is greater than my wallet I ask that you consider a few extra dollars for yourself. So, things to consider for expenses:
▪ ▪ ▪ Quick Business I reserve the right to pick and choose guests based on my preferences. While I can’t think of excluding any specific individuals, I may need to exercise this right. As host, I am responsible for all of you. Please respect this. Secondly, if you are someone who harbors prejudice towards others based on race, gender, sexual preference or religion, stop reading. You need not apply to this event.
▪ ▪ ▪ FAQ Q.) How many may attend?
Q.) How big is your place?
Q.) Who is this open to?
Q.) Will guests need to bring equipment?
Q.) Can I stay at your place?
Q.) Will you feed us?
Q.) I don't know, Revenant… (x) hours in a car or plane is a long time…
Q.) How long do I have to think about it?
▪ ▪ ▪ Okay. I’ve read through this and I’m interested. What do? Please send an email to revenant1988.xbl@gmail.com. Be sure to include the following information: ▪ Your HBO handle.
▪ ▪ ▪ If you have additional questions you may ask here or email me directly. I’ll check this thread and post reminders every so often. Thanks for reading and I hope you can come to HBOHIO 2013!
