I plan to bring flank steak, a reluctant wife, a prima donna infant (she'll be a Linux hacker yet!), and probably a few old computer parts to try and give away.

I have paid Orem city the registration fee for the use of one of their parks. Below are the details: Address: City Center Park, 100 North 300 East, Orem Pavilion: Senior Citizens Pavilion (cause we are all old, or something) Date: Saturday, June 16th Time: 6pm-9pm (those setting up be there at 5:30pm) Notes: 30 tables, 300 person capacity, 4 grills, drinking fountain, right next to a playground for the kids (it should accommodate quite a few kids). Power: 2 outlets at 20 amps each. We need to be careful not to blow the circuit because they will not send someone to reset it. General Directions: Head east on Center street in Orem. Turn left on 400 E, then left on 100N. The pavilion is on the left. There is parking there that should accommodate our group, but it would be helpful if you carpooled if possible.

If someone can figure that out, it would be great. - Power bars/cords, extension cords (heavy duty), a switch or two, patch cables, various computer parts that might be helpful. - Your old/odd/interesting gear to show off or give away. - I'm thinking this will be "bring your own meat" but it would be great if someone could go to Costco and get a huge thing of hot dogs and buns so that everyone gets at least something to eat. - If someone would like to donate a large amount of soda I'll get some chests with ice to keep them cold. I'm guessing we would need a lot of soda/water, etc. If enough people bring a six pack of their favorite beverage we should have enough to share with those that don't bring anything. - Chips/dips/snacks. - Charcoal and lighter fluid enough to keep a couple pits burning... optionally I'm considering bringing a large gas grill. If someone can volunteer some time, a truck, and a set of hands I'm sure I can bring it. - Trash bags, first aid kit, duct tape, various barbecue odds and ends. - Kitchen utensils, paper plates, cups, napkins. - More comfortable chairs if you are so inclined (nice sitting on them to watch the kids play). Other picnic type stuff (blankets, lawn toys, etc). - A desert of some kind. - Any games you like (bzflag?). - You, your friends, your family, and any living thing that loves Linux. Putting together a really great party for this many people is not unlike an open source project. If everyone tries to bring at least something then we can cover those who can't. Think big, 60-100 people can consume a lot of consumables. We can use the list to coordinate so we don't have any money wasted. I'm sure the group would be more than willing to allow a corporation to step in and provide some of the needs on our list, as well as any swag/prizes. The more people that come, the more fun we will have. Plan on bringing the whole family so they can see how normal you really are compared to all the other PLUGers. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
