We Are LANFEST: 12 Years of Connections
Twelve years ago, Patrick Timmell spotted an article on a bulletin board in Buffalo that led him to MassiveLAN. What began as curiosity became a pivotal part of his life. He attended his first event and felt an immediate connection with the community that gathered around rows of glowing screens, sharing strategies and stories.
Over the years, Patrick moved from attendee to volunteer, pouring his energy into organizing and supporting the events. The growth of MassiveLAN mirrored his own, as he watched the small gathering swell to a bustling hub with 300 dedicated gamers.
For Patrick, MassiveLAN isn’t just about gaming; it’s about community. Every event brings new challenges and triumphs, weaving a rich tapestry of memories with friends who share his passion.
“I found LANFEST and my home chapter through an article on our venue’s bulletin board,” Patrick often tells newcomers. “I’ve been part of this for twelve years, dedicating time to serve and enjoy the community we’ve built.”
As Patrick looks forward to each new gathering, he knows these moments are more than just games; they are the heartbeats of a community he loves, a community he never plans to leave.
