*grin* Hey I resemble that remark.  ;-)  I'm sort of running the show, but
the show ain't been running so hard lately.

I'm working on getting a meeting scheduled later this month at the usual
location (or what was the usual location 'til meetings kind of trailed
off), EBE E1419.  The date I originally had in mind was September 13th,
but the guy who was gonna maybe present hasn't gotten back to me yet and
that date is drawing kind of close, so it might be a while yet.

I think probably the thing to do is not fret over whether we have a
presentation or not for every meeting and just schedule
weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/whatever meetings the whole semester in advance.
Anyone know of a good non-auditorium/classroom-ish place to meet somewhere
on campus?  (Ahh, anyone remember the conference room at CTIE?  :-))

Google, probably.  ;-)  Also word of mouth -- I was kind of surprised to
see a recommendation for MLUG on the first day of CECS 253 when I took it
over the summer.  :-)

I'm in!  :-)  Seriously, if anyone wants to organize any informal MLUG
get-togethers or whatever, go for it.  The mailing list is always
available to coordinate things like that.  Maybe a geekfest is in order...
