My name is Jeff Chapin, and I am the current president of the CedarLug. One of the things we are trying to do this year is to bring in speakers, and we spent some time brainstorming names. Some of us decided to try and get Drew Curtis, of Fark.com <http://Fark.com> fame to come speak at our university ( www.uni.edu <http://www.uni.edu>). He would possibly be speaking on the technological side, about the infrastructure of fark, which sustains over a million hits a day, his observations about managing the site, and how the media has changed in recent years. We would try and host a Fark party afterwards. It was suggested that before we rope him into speaking, that we test the waters with the other Lugs, and see what sort of turn out we could expect. We really don't have anything set up, other than the fact that he is willing to come, so suggestions are welcome. Just testing the waters here. Feel free to email me at chapinjeff(at)gmail.com with responses. Also feel free to forward this to anyone that might be interested. I am not on most of these mailing lists so please keep that in mind when replying.... -- Jeff Chapin President, CedarLugHello everyone,
