Howdy, Back in Ye Olden Days, PhreakNIC and NLUG did a lot of mutually beneficial stuff together. We'd like to return to that sort of arrangement, so PhreakNIC is providing NLUG with some of our convention space to do, well, whatever you want. Non-stop installfest? Classes and training sessions? Mini-convention inside PhreakNIC? All of the above? Sure, go for it; let us know what we can do to help.
The convention is Halloween weekend at the Millennium Maxwell House: http://maxwellhousehotel.com We've got most of the hotel's convention space; you can see the layout here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3bb952t2q69dlne/Meeting%20Space%20Diagram.jpg We've set aside the Forum room for NLUG; it seats ~70 people classroom style, and can be divided in half should you wish to split the room. You'll have it starting 8:00am Thursday, Oct 30th through 11:59pm Sunday, Nov 2nd. If you need more space for larger events (ie - talks or panel discussions with "big names"), we can accommodate you, as we also have the entire Grande Ballroom and the International room, too (apparently there will be some sort of bodybuilding event in the Embassy room, which should be interesting, and a wedding reception/party in the 10th floor Crown Ballroom - annoy the bride at your peril). If you want to book a guest room at the Maxwell House, the group code is 1410PNICON; the group rate is $105/night + free wireless internet, compared the usual ~$160/night + "internet costs extra". So, wadda y'all wanna do? Howard might have some suggestions, as this is similar to the arrangement we had back in 2000 & 2001. ~~Dru Myers (aka "the guy running PhreakNIC 18 this year) PS - We're having a planning session this Sunday; NLUG members are welcome. Below is a cut/paste with details: From: Pope jonnyX <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: PhreakNIC meeting - Sunday, May 18th - details Date: May 16, 2014 6:37 PM Howdy folks, PhreakNIC 18 meeting, NLUG members invited as well. Sunday, May 18th; 1:00pm-3:00pm Andrew is out of town, so we're not meeting at Codex Labs. Instead, our anonymous music taper/speaker (who is also a food critic) suggested Sal's Family Pizza in Franklin; it's about 5-7 minutes from Codex Labs. Here's their website & location via google maps: http://www.mysals.com/ http://goo.gl/maps/JJUo5 Street addy & phone#s if you need 'em: 595 Hillsboro Rd Independence Square, Suite 311 Franklin, TN 37064 (615) 472-8387 & (615) 472-8419 I checked the place out earlier today; the food is very good, so are the prices, they have space for us, lots of parking, free wi-fi. Mr. Anon Taper says it's the closest thing to a NYC pizza place you'll find in middle TN & I agree. If you plan on attending, please drop me a line. I told the folks at Sal's I'd give them a rough headcount ahead of time. ~~jX -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
