everyone had a blast :-D i was surprised because we had some last minute complications (no internet, the place smelled like cheese (it was a bought-out cheese factory), there was dripping water, and the bathroom sink not working). but, thanks to ranken, we were able to solve and overcome ALL the problems (which was SOOOO clutch) and had a successful lan

had we not had a staff that was quick-thinking and conscious of the lanners needs, we wouldn't have much success at all. we raised a lot of money for the katrina victims, which is totally awesome.
