There is an interesting phenomenon going on in my hometown of Evansville, Indiana. I thought this might be news worthy to some of you.
LAN parties can be found anywhere in the US, but the
Asylumlan.com party that meets here in Indiana, consistently host 100+ players 4 times a year! I have only been able to attended 2 of the last 5 parties and both times they were a blast!
There are trophies for both DM’s and Team games, door prizes, Mod contest, and a plethora of events that happen throughout this energized weekend stay. That’s right, it’s a two day event. You show up on Friday afternoon-evening and the trophies are not given out until Saturday evening. This event is held on the 4-H grounds which allows camping (for those who wish to get some sleep). They also allow for a bonfire as well, so there are Winnie and marshmallow roast going on. The latest DVD movie is also playing in the background, projected upon the wall. The contests change at every party. At
Asylumlan11 there were keyboard throwing contest and office chair races. This is really a kewl video of .
Asylum 9.5. The last party was just a month ago, here is the video of that:
BIG 36mb
small 19mb
The sponsors and dedicated players of
Asylumlan make this event worth checking out. Entrance fee is $25 if you pay in advance online or $30 at the door.
Evansville, Indiana is central and within 3 hours of St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Nashville. Asylum in fact attracts players from all over and is bigger than any of the other LAN parties being hosted in these bigger cities! If you ever cross this part of the country it might be worthy to swing by.
