Hey Guys,

Just wanted to update that we now have seating and tournament registration available on ALP (http://alp.pittco.org).

To far for me to drive.

Pfft... It's maybe a 3-4 hour drive at most.  I've driven much further for a LAN. XD Good group of guys, too.  Been to 2-3 of their LANs. :)  Won't be attending this one though, unfortunately.
