Hai, I'm working with the local lan center Hard Knocks (which is about a 5 minute drive from the UCF campus) on getting an east coast US EVE meet going soon. I'm not sure what the best day would be and I need to know how many people would be willing to visit so we can plan this in the most effective manner.
I'm thinking right now is perhaps shortly after the EVE Tourney on a Saturday night. I want to give everyone enough time if they need to put it in their schedules.
This is my first time doing something like this so any advice or help would be great.
Hard Knocks
Nutshell of Hard knocks:
Hard Knocks is one of the biggest lan centers I've seen and could hold quite a few people. They have many lan PC's (with eve included) as well as many big screen TV's lined up along the walls for movies or for games. They have a main stage for rockband (lulz) and they also have 2 really big warehouses for laser tag. It's not your usual modified price checker laser tag, it's the real deal. Srsly.
There's also a pizza/bree place down the road that they work with and they're close by the UCF campus area in Orlando.

The multitudes of replies is so totally motivating, really. :P
The LAN center is affiliated with the sports bar Rivals (down the road). I just tested it and they have decent food and a karaoke area (rick roll anyone?) for some midnight funs after we're done hanging at the LAN. What I'm planning is for the meet sometime in mid-March on the weekend...a Saturday night perhaps. The last few hours will be spent at Rivals, the bar. Underage kiddies can suck down sodah if they wanna come with.
I know a lot of people don't bother reading this forum so I've also posted this on scrapheap. I do wanna talk to some peeps (maybe in the eve radio/bob radio or ccp/mmm publishing peeps) to see if I can get more coverage or tips for this.
Ok, I'm going to go look for possible hotel locations for people that wanna stay the night in Orlando.

IzzyChan,
Not to create any kind of controversy here but I offered our place, which has 25 computers with Eve, have many bars and pizza places in the same plaza. You visited us and I remember meeting you. Whatever happened?
Nevertheless, we do have a nice Eve gamer community with most of our regulars playing it right now so our 'Eve gatherings' happen almost on a daily basis :).
As I said before, our place is available for the Eve community.
You never contacted me back, I thought you lost interest.

I'm still trying to get a guesstimate on how many would show up to this thing so I can plan it properly. I'm thinking mid-March or mid-April for the meet. I'm not sure how long people need to plan ahead for something like this.
Also from seeing the lack of interest on this forum so far I think I'll need to get other means of getting this meet out to the public - perhaps contacting the EVE radio guys or maybe someone in CCP that helps with player meets?

After talking with Gigabits, I will probably be moving this to their lan as they took the initiative and gave me a time and date as well as organizational plans for moar things. Time will be April 5, from 12pm to 6am or later, depending on if people want to stay.

What better place to get all romance-y than at a LAN full of geeky nerds that play internet spaceships?

Not available that weekend they are heading to Vegas..A few of my Co-workers that wear skimpy outfits, and cut down on the testerone, and certain gaming/comic events..Nothing illegal, they just like Geeks..lol
Gender is completely irrelevant to this meet. Chicks and dudes that play eve are all welcome and will all be treated equally (or I shall unleash my IzzyWrath upon yee souls. Rawr.).
