Thanks, guys looking forward to this LAN.

BTW:  Any advice on avoiding traffic on the way up.  I am coming from Delaware so I will use RT 30 and then RT 238  to get to the LAN.  I temporary worked in Harrisburg and remember that traffic around that area was a pain.

I expect to getting into the area 05:30 or 06:00.

What part of Delaware? If you're already thinking of hitting 30, you might just want to stay on 30 and hit 83 and then get a straight shot up from there. You'll avoid Harrisburg completely. 83 will be a little crowded around that time being Friday and all, but it'd be better than having to go through Harrisburg, I would think.

This is what I got when I just did "Delaware" to the actual address for the lan on google maps.

I am in Northern Delaware, the quickest way without traffic is North on R41 to Gap and then West on 30 to RT 283.   

BTW:  I live just off RT41 south of Hockessin. 

I ran the numbers, taking Rt 30 to 83 as you suggest is 2 hours and 2 minutes.  The google maps suggested route is 1 hours and 52 minutes.   I think the RT30 to 83 is a good option as it avoids the mixing bowl at the turnpike, 283 and 83.

The whole beltway is tough at that time, the hotel is right off the exit so you wont have to fight the traffic in Camp Hill or Mechanicsburg getting there.

Yup, I'll back that hotel off the exit bit. You can clearly see it as you come to the exit and are pulling off. The nice bit about this place we'll be at is that we're on a loooooooong stretch of road that has plenty of food and gas joints all along it.

Awesome! Always glad to see new faces! And it's a good thing that you love video games. Would really suck to go to a LAN if you didn't like video games or even marginally enjoy them.

Regardless, hope your first time at one of these crazy geekfests won't be your last! :)

Thanks, there was a post on the website that they were having some issues with the Sigs.

Looks like it takes a while for them to generate it.  There was a 3 hour countdown
