SIK LAN-Party-Fall2012

Event will be kept at Otakaari 5 class E110-E111 on weekend October 12th - 14th 2012.

Sign up for those who are going to bring their own computer at SIK website. Otherwise just crash in when the LAN is on.

Bring your own computer or share a gaming terminal on site.

This is a free event and open to Aalto University students, i.e. you don't have to be a member of the electrical engineering guild in order to join.

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.

Location
Traditionally SIK LAN party has been held at the Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering in classrooms E110 and E111. It is 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.

Location: 60°11'21.57" N, 24°49'53.31" E.

 * 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.
