This will be the one time where I won't be able to make it to Alpha Clash, so @Beamsprouts and @DoctorG aka Biz Casual will be running it.
 
Will someone take pictures or video of this venue? I'd love to see how this LAN turned out despite me chillin' way over here on the East Coast

Sure! It's mostly a hangout, so there won't be massive numbers of people or anything, but I'll try and get Biz Casual to take some pics.
