Okay,
I'm one of the nerds who watched TechTV - (Not at all sure about the new G4 incarnation - there is only so much hype on games I can stand)
so I have seen Chris on the tube. I looked at the web sites, albeit briefly, but I did not see what the actual property is
where all this is going to be. So where exactly is this being held Chris??????
Before the flame wars get too far - I concede this is definitely gray on our policy of non-commercial solicitation,
but it is the sort of thing we as a group like to check out. So let's cut him some slack this time.
What do you think folks? - A connection with Chris couldn't hurt us as far as contacts for other presentations.

Hello there,
You probably don't know me, but I was prompted to introduce myself (via David Davis, through a friend of mine, Richard Barnet). David said "the best idea would probably be to get on the mailing list at rlug.org and send a nice email explaining the event details."
So, here I am. ;)
My name is Chris Pirillo; I used to host a show on TechTV, and I run Lockergnome.com (which also happens to publish a 'Linux Fanatics' channel and a Linux Fourm). I currently live in LA, but my company is hosting a conference at Harrah's Lake Tahoe from September 30th to October 2nd (2004). I'm doing what I can to get the word out, and hoping to get a fair amount of nearby enthusiasts and businesses in the door.

The keynote speaker this year, as the subject line suggests, is Steve Wozniak. I'm also bringing folks like Wil Wheaton, too. I've held this event for the past three years in Des Moines, Iowa - and it's always been very intimate. Yes, you can actually meet and interact with the speakers. How's that for nice? :)
Our registration form currently has two Types. I'll let RLUG members pre-register as "Past Gnomedexers" if you send me a note about your membership (offlist, referencing this invitation) after signing up. I guess I may have to verify with David as to your status, but... I'm a very trusting guy.
Anything anybody can do to help me increase local awareness and attendence would certainly be appreciated. Though I'm working on an extremely limited budget, I'm still keeping the event in a realistic price range for workaday geeks.
Yours Digitally,
Chris Pirillo
