Who: ACM LAN PARTY.
What: ACM LAN PARTY.
Where: ACM...... LAN PARTY.
When: Saturday, February 18th @ Noon
Why: *Because we can

Extra details:

We will be setting up BEFORE movie night so we get it out of the way. Anyone who can help it shall be appreciated. I don't know the movie yet so don't ask, I'll announce it later.

!!! PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES !!!
It has been an issue previously and it is common knowledge that the CS area is passively ACM responsibility.
I am nobody's mother so please don't make me pick up after you. If I have to, I reserve the right to prohibit further participation of SIG-FUN events.

Also, I didn't wipe the list of previous registered users, however I did reset seating. If you were previously registered, I recommend you double check and pick a seat!
Register/seating is found at http://acmlanparty.com

Remember, pre-registering to the event will mean a $5 attendance fee (the fee goes to pizza, as usual). I was lenient about this in the past, but if I print the sheet of attendees and you are not on the list, you'll be forced to pay $10.
YOU HAVE OVER A WEEK TO REGISTER SO DO IT NOW BEFORE YOU FORGET.

Thanks and see you all next weekend! If I forgot anything just say so!

*This LAN party is themed "Forever Alone", and secretly that is the reason why we are doing it, cause it is after Valentine's Day. United, we shall wallow.

The conference itself is approaching in a few months, so do expect an
extensive discussion about where we would like help, and what's the
status so far for the correspondences we've had. Also, very helpful
suggestions have popped up on the Flourish list, so come aboard, bring
