it actually depends hun..
depends on who ever wants to hold one...

u can start a LAN party urself.. but u hafta know a lot of people and ask them to bring other tech people they know...

trust me... tech d00ds cannot resist the temptaion of a LAN party.. its like having your own little Defcon...

i live in sydney and here we have a place called "The LAN" and its a huge warehouse.. where everyone brings their boxes, though we hafta pay $5 entry fee, and connect to the LAN.. u can do anything u want there.. share wares.. play games.. test securty.. everyting.. (except for having sex, well i can do that in the coat room upstairs.. hehe oh.. no violence.. no drinks allowed inside the LAN room.. there is always a bar in the far end of the room..) hehe just be totally sensible and responsible so u wont be banned from the place..

u can have a popular tech friend and ask him/her to make a lan party and ask everyone you know to come and bring other people in too..

my friend hosted a lan party over at his garage and we put flyers everywhere to let other ppl know we are having a lan party.. and damn.. we had to use the whole house and the garden coz it was damn huge! hahaha

every tech d00d that goes to The LAN regularly were there!
