(...) It's a hybrid of the two ideas. And yes, I watch too much Food Network. :) (...) I think on some level, I knew this.

(...) We've tried that for many years now within the state (i.e. the TexLUG group). The most we've ever pulled together for any event is probably near 15 people. Out of that, there are only 4 or 5 'regulars' that keep the group going. If we did (...) (17 years ago, 24-Oct-07, to lugnet.events)
