First Commodore 64 LAN Party

Leif_Bloomquist writes "The world's first Commodore 64 LAN party was held at the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club 2008 Expo last weekend, where the new multiplayer C64 game NetRacer was unveiled. The setup consists of up to eight Commodore 64s with Ethernet cartridges and a central server written in Java running on a PC. The game is also playable over the Internet."

Judging from the pics, there was at least one.

At least one, probably. Maybe two. :-P

FWIW, I have met Ms. Ellsworth at a Commodore Convention before. Her photo on Wikipedia does not do her justice. And besides that, she really knows her stuff when it comes to the Commodore.

I think since the C64 event is in the USA that it blocks out foreign IP addresses. Try using a Web proxy from the USA and see if that works, or Use Tor to connect to a USA Tor server.

I'll mirror the location of the event if you want information on it:

"05/26/2008: To pre-pay admission and table fee(s) for the C4 Expo, please Paypal your payments to cmdreclub@iglou.com.

When making payment, please ensure you put what you are paying for

in the comments field of the Paypal transaction.

The receipt for the Paypal transaction MUST be presented at the

admission desk in order to gain entrance to the Expo!!

Door Charges: $10/person or $15/family

Selling tables: $15/table or 3 for $35 (The hotel charges $10/table in addition for power usage.)

T-shirts: TBD

The Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club is proud to present the 3rd annual C4 Expo.

June 28-29 at the Drawbridge Inn

located at:

2477 Royal Drive
Fort Mitchell, KY 41017"

I think you can use that email address to ask them why they blocked your IP. Possible some IIS administration script that locks down security also blocked foreign IPs.
