...but only grudgingly. I am not a LAN party sort of person, but I know that all the people I would (in this hypothetical situation) want to hang out with would be there rather than the prom.
I didn't go to my high school prom as I had a concert to sing at the other end of the country, so I don't see why I should go to one now, unless there was Real Dancing, which I doubt there would be.
Well, when a large number of networks love each other very much, but don't feel that only sharing data bewteen exclusive partner LANs is an appropriate lifestyle choice for them ...
I'll get my coat.
(A LAN party is where people bring PCs to a location and play networked computer games together.)
Yeah, I thought something like that, except that our life is one great big long formal attire LAN party already, so we win. (OK, not literally, but fulfilling the spirit of having as many social events as we want with both formal attire, and with geeking.)
I'd go to the prom, because LAN parties are easier to arrange, although LAN parties suit my temperament more[1]. (Maybe less so if the prom was with high school people rather than arbitrary friends, but I think still. A prom may not be worth it in general, but for me I think I'd find worth going to once.)
[1] Well, computer geeking in general. Must have LAN parties. I don't think I've ever actually had a LAN party, at best endless games of three player quake.
