Welcome to NeXus LAN!
The Premier Gaming LAN Party located in Dayton, Ohio

Hello everyone,

Registration for our August LAN is now open.

See you at the event!

Hey all,

There has been a change in the schedule of the LAN's.  At this time we are going to be doing every other month.   So the next LAN will be August 9th, then October 11th, and December 13th for the 2008 LAN's.

We have done this for several reasons which include:  Works better for our venue, gives staff more time to plan things and arrange for more sponsors per event as well.   Also I think attendance will be higher going every other month vs monthly.

Sorry for the change.  We will be revisiting possibly going monthly again in the 2009 LAN season.

We are adding in paypal for pre-reg payments and soon as that is coded in we will open registration for August.

See you at the LAN!!!!
