www.thetek.com on Hillsboro street across from Merridith college. I think there is a place called gamefrog in durham. You can check blue lan party page on the web for lists of regional lan parties. I think it would be fun to have a large linux lan party in the Raleigh area. Running Tribes 2, and Unreal 2004, and Freeciv.

Generally a bunch of folks get together with their PCs and connect to a LAN, hence the name. From there it's usually a gaming session with something like Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Balttlefield 1942, or whatever the favorite multiplayer game is. There is also sometimes shareing of software and other media because of the convenience of being on the LAN, but be careful as this part easily slips out of the bounds of what's legal to share. Pizza, chips, beer and a very long night are often part of the deal. In such long nights past, folks have made "lancakes" at dawn. If you're looking to meet girls, this isn't the place, but it's usually some of the most fun you'll ever have playing these games.
