SIK LAN-party is a legendary weekend computer festival at the Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering.

The main goal is a refreshing different experience from normal party life at the campus. In history, most of the time we have been just playing different computer games from the past and beyond, depending whom of us have good experiences on which games or consoles. It all starts from ourselves, making a good party that lasts two days, in middle of a lecture period, breaks the stress of school and new lifetime friendships are born every time.

Traditionally SIK LAN party has been held at the Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering in classrooms E110 and E111. It is most likely being held in the same premises also this year. The most convenient way to get there is through a locked door at the inner court - well, most convenient for those who have a keycard. The proletariat has to go knocking on the window or call somebody to open then dimension door; especially if youre carrying something heavy such as a 27" CRT monitor you prolly dont like to drag it along the corridors all the way from the main entrance.

The NOT-TO-DO -list

 * Outdoors activities on day/nighttime is (almost) guaranteed, so be prepared for the weather
 * Texas Hold'em (with recklessly high stakes)

List of needed equipment
You've got to bring
 * your gaming fittings (not quite necessary as there are a few spare computers for random visitors)
 * headphones (instead of a ghettoblaster)
 * an ethernet cable, about 5 meters of it
 * a p0wer extension with enough outlets
 * coke (as in the beverage) or energy drinks

Theres a microwave, a fridge and a coffee maker available for you at the guild room. You probably want to bring some food, too, cause theres not too many places open in the morning to provide you with bacon and eggs. Etno is open till 3am or so.
