LAN Hangout hosted in Virginia

Hey folks, this is the final intermediary thread for setting up our originally planned LAN in VA/DC area.

Regretfully, we were not prepped with the resources to organize a tournament, between the prizepool and rsvping the venue. As a result, we cannot schedule a full-blown lan event like we originally hoped to organize for you guys and girls.

However, we still wish to host a get-together which only requires a date, and paying for your PC rental (which for The Cave Gaming Center is 10 bucks for 2 hours, 20-25 bucks for an all day pass). We can play pubs, pugs when we get enough people, and just have a chill hangout.

Fill out this survey before July 4 and we'll have this small-scale hangout in order.
SURVEY FOR DATES AND TIMES: http://goo.gl/forms/obTLLzacMPz2wmwq1

This is a compromise for us failing to make this happen in such a short time frame with limited resources. We will be trying again as soon as we are able, and launch a proper 6s and MGE LAN in the future. We're really sorry, but we aren't giving up.

Thanks for trying to get a full-blown LAN set up, hopefully it will work out at some point in the future.

I'm still totally on-board for meeting up and hanging out with some fellow gamers!

Unfortunately some things have come up for me and I won't be able to attend the LAN if we're gonna make it July 30th (the date with the most votes). If you guys want to go to The Cave and hang out for an afternoon or so that'd be pretty sweet, especially since matchmaking is out and you could find plenty of things to pass the time without me as a host.

I'd like to apologize also for the mess organizing this has been, like we said we hope to get an actual tournament worked out in the future, and having a bunch of TF2 gamers hang out on the 30th can certainly help us to schedule a full-blown tournament.

I'll be there still, and I'll probably be there around noon if anyone wants to plan around that. If we get a decent group, I'm thinking some gaming and then dinner nearby later?

I have absolutely no idea if anyone (besides me) is turning out, considering no one has posted here or in the Steam group. If there's still radio silence come Saturday, I may not bother driving out there. Honestly, most people I've talked to have had things come up and can no longer attend.

I still think the DC/MD/VA area is a perfect place to have some sort of LAN tournament for east coasters, so hopefully there can be something here in the future. I'll keep an eye out for opportunities. (It might be possible to have a TF2 LAN at MAGfest 2017, if that's something people would be interested in. I know the ticket prices are kind of off-putting though.)
