Hey guys,
I just saw on your site that there's a big LAN party scheduled for February..Woo Hoo !!!...in the meantime, MLG is having one of our own down in Greenbelt, Md at the Greenbelt Fire Dept. It's a good sized place with plenty of room. However, on the bad side..the fire dept doesn't have any broadband internet connection. So playing BFBC2 in multiplayer wouldn't be an option..BUT..since it's probably going to be a mostly BF3 and COD MW3 LAN then things should be fine.
It was good to meet some of you last year in Mechanicsburg. Sorry I haven't been around for any of the other LANs, I've been pretty busy.
Here's some more info. It would be great to see some of you down there in December !!
It would be good to see some of you guys down there.

Hope to see some of you at the LAN
