While it's true 'one' of the main attractions is gone, there is still a lot of fun to be had.
I've been to a 620 person lan party (PDX Lan in Portland Oregon) and it was a wonderful time!
You also end up with a sense of community with the people directly arround you within the first day if your willing to talk to people.
not just a LAN gaming party

what I like about these events in Europe is that they are also demo parties, like Assembly in Finland.
There is some info on Dreamhack's site about the demoscene portion of the party.
All in all, being stuck on the other end of the planet (I'm in New Zealand), I'm very jealous of the demo sceners and the parties that go on in Europe.
