Friday January 27, 2006 ATI EverLAN Winter 2006
Introduction
When it comes to LANs, there are only a few in the United States that can push the limits in size, competitiveness, and most of all—fun. Along with QuakeCON, MillionManLAN, and PDX, EverLAN is the LAN from Colorado that has continually hosted increasingly better events since its establishment in 2002. After laying dormant for a year and a half, EverLAN has arisen again to throw its come-back party to start off 2006 with a bang. Featuring a $21,000 Counter-Strike: Source tournament and a never-before-seen-at-a-LAN series World of Warcraft challenges, this LAN in the snow-capped Colorado is determined to throw one hell-of-an event.
The beautiful city of Denver.
Welcome to EverLAN 2006!
The start of EverLAN was a bit gloomy with a big overnight snow fall covering the roads in ice the night before the event opened. Although temperatures settled somewhere between 20 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, gamers from all over the United States drove and flew out to the Denver Merchandise Mart; just a few miles north of Invesco Field where the AFC Championship Game of the Broncos versus the Steelers occurred on the final Sunday. On a snowy but sunny Friday, January 20th morning, the doors to EverLAN opened and the crowd of gamers who had lined up made their way in to start the 3-day gaming festival.
