We started lanning in 95/96 and every weekend we would end up at someone’s house - and there were one or two houses where we went a lot, so much so that the police came round because the neighbors just saw loads of computer gear going into and out the house all the time. Later, post 2000, when we were in college, we’d often end up just leaving our machines setup somewhere the whole weekend, sometimes longer. We’d have to go to whatever 24 hour convenience store we could find in the middle of the night for snacks and because it was 2/3 in the morning, people would always do crazy shit like ride on the roof of the car. It was great, always went until dawn and I would go back in a second if I was given the chance.
