Is there any other way to get money to you other than PayPal?

In the spirit of "pay first, ask questions later", now that I have my ticket ... Is transportation provided, or do we have to get ourselves to the restaurant?

Can't wait to meet everyone there.

There's no plan for transportation; last year some people worked out carpools. Taxis are probably also an option but I can't speak to that personally.

Last year I just walked to the Scholz Garten in a group with some other people. It's about 1.2 miles by foot, so roughly a 30-minute walk (depending on which side of the convention center you start from :P).

As far as I know, no one died last year, but survival is not guaranteed.

"about 1.2 miles" ... sure you can't get any more accurate? :D

You're right though, according to Google, it's only "about" 1.0 miles from the north-west corner of the convention centre.

If survival isn't guaranteed, what is?

I walked last year - the "Block Diagram Party" (groan) is on in the expo floor before the party, so grab yourself a beer there, then wander over (the sun's going down, so it's relatively cool by then).

In BBQ news, the 2011 LAVA/OpenG NIWeek BBQ is in the "LabVIEW News" RSS feed in LabVIEW's Getting Started Window this morning! This is a pretty big step forward for us (with more surprises on the way!). Thanks, NI! You can also see the actual blog post here.

Wow - this Justin guy's much more organized than the guy who used to organize the BBQ... Not bad for a vegetarian!

Used part of my PayPal balance, woo. I figured out how to bill someone with an Amex card through PayPal, but haven't yet gotten to getting the $ back out. Another 30 or 40 LAVA BBQs should do it.

I purchased a ticket. This will be my first LAVA BBQ that I've attended not at the Salt Lick. I'll miss traveling through hill country.

Tru dat! Unfortunately, getting to and from the Salt Lick is a problem.

What is this Block Diagram Party and where can I find more info about it?


The Block (Diagram) Party is the official opening of the exhibition (downstairs in the Expo Hall), where you can wander the booths and have a few beers. From last year's NIWeek blog:

NI Community Block Diagram Party, 5 p.m., Expo Hall - Get it? Block diagram party? Anyway, don't miss the first party of NIWeek! Enjoy food and drinks and hang out with your fellow LabVIEW developers.

Hi,

I just transferred some fund to my Paypal account (it says it takes 3-5 days for the transaction to be cleared).
So as soon as I get the confirmation, I'll buy the ticket .
