crelf Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Posted April 4, 2011 So.... is anyone interested in coming to the BBQ? Don't all post at once... Quote
Omar Mussa Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Way to start the planning early this year! Looking forward to it! Quote
Wire Warrior Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 ME! ME! ME! It was great fun last year (my first NI Week ever) and I can't wait to see what tops the limericks. Jason Quote
MikaelH Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 I might have problem getting my curent employer to send me there every year , so I think I'll have to skip this year and aim for 2012. Quote
xtal Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 No NIWeek for me this year. Sigh... Darn! We are going to miss you, Cat. I'll be there as always. Quote
crelf Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Posted April 7, 2011 No NIWeek for me this year. Sigh... Unacceptable. Quote
Cat Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 Darn! We are going to miss you, Cat. I'll miss all of you, especially hanging with the Chick Posse (that means you, too, Norm ) Unacceptable. I agree! However, since I'm not really sure yet if I'm even going to have a paycheck starting Monday, this probably isn't a good time to bring it up with my boss.... Quote
crelf Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Posted April 9, 2011 ...since I'm not really sure yet if I'm even going to have a paycheck starting Monday... ?!?! Quote
Cat Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 ?!?! US Fed gov't shutdown. But, there's yet another Continuing Resolution, so I have a paycheck for at least another week. Otherwise I'd be traveling to Michigan looking for a LV job. Quote
crelf Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Posted April 11, 2011 Otherwise I'd be traveling to Michigan looking for a LV job. Let me know when you're in town Quote
calico Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) I'm new here, but I definitely would like to join! I'm actually a Labview newbie as well, but hopefully I will have some decent experience under my belt by the time NI week rolls around. I miss Austin BBQ. Nothing in Houston comes close =(.

Wire Warrior Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Last year was my first NI Week and LAVA BBQ definitely worth it. So any news on ticket sales? Jason Quote
iyeager Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 I'll be there, I think I owe at least half of you guys a beer for fixing my stuff so much over the past few months. -Ian Quote

crelf Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Posted April 19, 2011 I just bought my ticket - post here when you buy yours! Quote
Norm Kirchner Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Count me in, and I guess I'm being DNatt's ticket gofer and +1 him too. Same place again eh? We starting a tradition or getting lazy? ~,~ US Fed gov't shutdown. But, there's yet another Continuing Resolution, so I have a paycheck for at least another week. Otherwise I'd be traveling to Michigan looking for a LV job. Michigan??!!! Pfffft, Austin baby, Austin Quote
crelf Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Posted April 19, 2011 Same place again eh? We starting a tradition or getting lazy? Yes, and yes. Seriously though, there just aren't that many places within walking distance of the ACC that could accomodate us. The general consensus at last year's BBQ (which may have been fuelled by beer) was that it was good and that we should have it there again this year. Quote
Wire Warrior Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Same place again eh? We starting a tradition or getting lazy? Is that Norm's way of volunteering to plan next years? Jason Quote
Mark Balla Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks for notifier ing me about the bar b queue it's going to be a great Event. Quote
CRoebuck Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Hey, I just bought one ! Having travelled from the UK to the CLA event in March I'm hooked and coming back in August for some more.............Bar-B-Q Can't wait Quote
Putnam Monroe Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 So.... is anyone interested in coming to the BBQ? Don't all post at once... How are you going to get all the politicians out of there? It was alleged, when I was down in Austin at the U of Texas, that more laws had been passed in Sholz's than in the capitol. Kerry and I would love to attend! Quote
Putnam Monroe Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Got my two tix ordered. Have to find out if my Dad wants to come, he enjoyed the LAVA BBQ's at the Salt Lick, in fact my sister won Jim Kring's book in the raffle! We are getting acclimated for the weather, hitting 95 today in this part of New York, very hot for here, particularly for this time of year. Quote
