Centinnial Hall is only about 1 mile from my home.

My weekend did not turn out at all like I wanted and so, very sadly, I missed
the show. I saw a brief article on Channel 7 news Sunday evening that showed,
for maybe 3 seconds, a shot of the BayLUG display. I'm greatly disappointed
this morning that I planned my time so poorly. I'm glad for those who did
participate that it went well.

I'll continue building and, hopefully, have something to display at the next
meeting.

Count me in for Hayward.
