I Live in Gort na coiribe, So if anyone wants a place to get drunk in, fall asleep in or make smoke signals from, My flatmates and I (especially my flatmates) will be most welcoming to host anyone who wanders in at any hour of the day or night. That'll learn them for eating my salami....

I'm finding it hard to get in contact with the Venue Owner re: power supply.
I'm confident there's enough power in the place to take more than 40 people (with average PCs - ie consuming ~400W inc crt monitor).

Those on the waiting list are welcome to come along and see if we can accomodate you

If I can't get you gaming, there's no charge.

I'll try and get in contact with the venue owner on monday and verify the trip-switch ratings.

If you have a reel of power cable, bring it along as there are several rooms that have power sockets on seperate trip-switches.

4pm is the absolute earliest you can come. There's Irish Dancing lessons on till 4, then I plan to get the tables setup etc. I rang the Venue Owner today and he'll check the power for me and I'll get an answer tomorrow. Alienware stuff came today. Didn't buy the Q3 prizes *just* yet. GameStop prizes should be in the GameStop store by Thursday, along with the banner. Does anyone have a car pump or something for the balloons?

Yes you can bring your sleeping bag if you want. Kinda curious why you want to bring a hub? we have 4 24 port 100mb switches which should do us for 46 people.
