[ale] ALE ale outing : attempts at socializing generally unsociable people

[Ron Frazier]

I like the idea of outside under a pavilion in case it rains.  Not only 
that, me and the sun don't get along after about 30 minutes or so in the GA 
summer.  I don't drink beer so that's not an issue for me.  Recommended 
temperature 70 - 80.

As an alternative, we could do some variation on a LAN party.  CPU magazine 
had some nice articles on setting up such things.  Turns out it's tricky to 
provide a few hundred watts of power, a few square feet of space, seating, 
high speed LAN / internet, cooling, food, and swag for a medium to large 
group.  I think it would be fun though.  I know nothing about gaming, but 
would be willing to attempt it.  I've been hoping someone would set up 
something up in this area.  It seems they're all up north.

mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
