Ronin over at Counter-Server let me know that he's posted some info regarding a LAN in Arizona. What makes this different from the rest? All of the proceeds will be forwarded to the Red Cross. Here's the skinny:
Great gaming for a great cause.DesertLAN, in conjunction with the Arizona LAN Alliance, is proud to announce DesertLAN 2001, Arizona's premiere 2001 LAN party.
100% of the proceeds from DesertLAN 2001 will be donated to The American Red Cross Liberty Disaster Relief Fund. Please come out and show the positive support of the gaming community in these troubled times!
The Event will be held on December 1st & 2nd, 2001 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds and has capacity to seat more than 1000 gamers! Registration is scheduled to commence 10/20/01.
In addition to awesome open gaming, DesertLAN 2001 is the 'last chance' Counter-Strike qualifier for a coveted auto-berth at the 2001 CPL World Championships. Any berthed team which wins its first round at the World Championships is guaranteed a cash prize!!!

Please help us get the message out to the gaming public so that we can draw record attendance for our state and generate as much money as possible towards this great cause!
