I know mine isn't going up until tomorrow.  Way too tired to bother with it.  It was so worth it though.

Well, my intertubes were never down and I also have a laptop.  But my main rigs aren't going up until tomorrow.

I voted 3 hours after I got home but it was more like 5. The poll choices weren't very flexible.

Not well at all. I upchucked for about 4 hours after I got home. That wasn't just a hangover, I don't think. I didn't even drink that much. Prolly a combination of lack of sleep, exhaustion, too much caffeine, the hangover, and questionable sushi. I am surviving at the moment, though my head is still slightly spinning. Eating a lot of toast and crackers. Other than that, I had a fantastic time at the LAN! :D

I didn't even unpack my gear till this morning... In the snow... That' was a BAD idea.

My gear is sitting in the garage in a giant pile and my wife was floored that I wouldn't be setting it back up until tomorrow. She thinks I live on that thing. Bah! Only Fri and Sat nights when shes at work!

I just pulled all the major parts into the dining room.  Things that do not like cold like my three LCD's and rockband gear.  I left my one unused server out in the garage.  I learned my lesson with these large events as a staffer.....DO NOT bring too much crap 'cause you won't be using it.  Next time, it's one server, one gamer, one monitor....nuff said.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Just got things setup now, so it was almost a day and a half for me. I still have half a van full of crap that I have to unload at the office tomorrow.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

I was set up a half hour after I got home.  Yes, I'm a degenerate.

I still have not set up my gaming rig(s) yet.  Just got them upstairs last night.  One day at a time....still recovering.

Yeah I didn't have my stuff up until late last night. Not that I didn't have the interest, i was just so damn tired from the weekend.

I actually plugged my gaming rig into power, network, and my keyboard which stays at home.  Didn't bother with the monitor or mouse yet. Turned it on so I could watch some of the movies I have stored on it.  Maybe tonight I will get the monitor setup.
