    I worked for the department that ran student computer labs (before most people started bringing computers to college with them). That's where the real epic lan parties happened. Every time we'd update the desktops we'd celebrate with an all-nighter lan party for staff and friends.

    I went to a small charter high school around 2002-3 and their whole education curriculum was on computers. The school principal would do monthly lan parties, then wipe the floor with us teenagers on age of empires 2. I still fear elephant charges.
