It's that time of year again! Are you coming to NIWeek 2012? Do you want to enjoy cold beers and hot mesquite BBQ with your friends from LAVA, OpenG, and the whole LabVIEW Community? Then come to the 2012 LAVA / OpenG NIWeek Bar-B-Q!

Year after year we bring together all your best online (and real-life!) friends from LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects), OpenG (home of LabVIEW's open source community), and even the leaders in NI LabVIEW R&D. Come enjoy great barbecue with great people away from the hustle & bustle of the convention floor.

Date: Tuesday, August 7th, 2012, 7:00 PM (after the NIWeek "Block Diagram Party")
Location: Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX 78701
Cost: $30 per person

How to buy a ticket: Ticket pre-sales closed. See here to buy a ticket at the conference.

*Vegetarian food is available on request -- PM Justin here for info.

What to Wear: A LAVA T-Shirt, of course!

Door Prizes Galore: Everyone is in the running for one of there super door prizes donated by other LAVA members. (You're welcome to offer up a prize too - hint, hint!)

I got my ticket!

PS: If that Brian Powell guy says I'm paying for his ticket, he's a dirty rotten filthy stinkin' liar!

Count me in - ticket bought! This was certainly the highlight of NIWeek 2011 last year. Can't wait to hear more of Poet Laureate Nattinger's limericks and Admiral AQ's sea songs :thumbup1:

...and the famous LAVA T-Shirts are available. The only difference to last year's design is that we've removed any reference to a particular year of NI-Week, so you don't have to buy one every year :)

So check it out in the LAVAStore (and why not grab yourself some other fine LAVA related products? :yes: )

I would love to come, but I have to bring my wife and kids to NI week this year since her 40th birthday is at this day, but maybe I can tell her that I've booked dinner at a nice romantic Texas BBQ restaurant. Anybody else taking their families to NI-week this year?

LAVA BBQ is a great place for the LV Community to help your wife to celebrate her 30th birthday!

Just bought mine.
If you don't buy yours, you are missing on the chance possibly win a free flight around Austin.

Oh man, my creative juices are spent after writing (and memorizing) those limericks last year.

Please...don't make me do it again! (insert preemptive TWSS here)

See you there!

I haven't been to LAVAG in a while... I just thought the best way to get back was to get my ticket!

So no contest this year? :(

BTW, can you make the same cool LAVA tshirt available for ladies?

Thanks,

LAVA BBQ is a great place for the LV Community to help your wife to celebrate her 30th birthday!

And it's an even better place to celebrate her 29th birthday!

Please...don't make me do it again! (insert preemptive TWSS here)

There's at least 2 TWSSs there.

The ladies fitted tee is now available in the LAVAStore!

Note: This is the same t-shirt style we used a couple of years ago, and several of our members said the size chart was skewed - make sure you order a size that larger than what you would normally order (not that I'm trying to suggest anything by that! :unsure: )
