OCModShop has posted an interview with LanPartyNW's Jason Harper



How did the large LANs start? We started looking at past rosters of our original garage LANs. Being that we could only hold 30 people in the garage, and that was really packing 'em in. I noticed a trend of 60+ people trying to sign up for a 30 man LAN. I talked to Dan, and we agreed that we needed to do a big one. So we started the signups for a 100 man lan, and secured some contracts with the Holiday Inn, and they had never heard of such a thing. They had never heard of a customer who wanted to rent their facilities for a 24-hour event. I had to twist their arms for an event that lasted 24-hours past their normal 2:00am cutoff (This 100 Man LAN turned into a 200 MAN LAN due to the signups).
