Yair Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 QUOTE(crelf @ Jul 25 2007, 10:19 PM) A signed copy of LabVIEW for Everyone from Kim Kring. Is that Jim's sister? QUOTE Does anyone have anything else they'd like to donate to add to the list? Well, I could supply a signed collection of my posts (both from LAVA AND the NI forums!) and I'm expecting to collect a bunch of pens at NIWeek which I could donate. :laugh: Quote

QUOTE(yen @ Jul 27 2007, 04:52 AM) I'm expecting to collect a bunch of pens at NIWeek which I could donate. Can you get a big box of those neat little NI screwdrivers?

LAVA 1.0 Content Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Jul 25 2007, 03:29 PM) JKI would like to donate one VI Package Manager 1.1 Professional Edition license with one-year support and upgrades.I would like to personally donate one signed copy of LabVIEW for Everyone. Jim, You should bring a few "extra" copies of your book. I'm sure some people may want to buy a signed copy during NI Week. (Myself included). I read through this thread and didn't see the cost for the BBQ.. (Don't have a PayPall account, yet).. Quote

Yeah, last week I actually considered borrowing a copy and flipping through it on the flight(s) to Austin to see if it's worth buying, but then I realized I would probably be fined for overweight.

Borrowing?!?! You don't already have your own copy? It's called "LabVIEW for Everyone" - do you consider your self a no-one? Quote

It's called "LabVIEW for Everyone" - do you consider your self a no-one? To be honest, I did take a few minutes to flip through that copy I was planning on borrowing and, while it is very impressive, I didn't find anything that struck me as too useful for me personally. I wanted to take more time to review it more deeply. Quote

Hi Joe, I *might* have a couple extra copies on me, but no promises -- last year I carried a box of books around with me and my back has just finally recovered from the experience. That said, if you bring a copy of the book, I would be more than happy to sign it for you (for free, of course). JKI will be in booth 341 (in the back of the expo floor near the LabVIEW community area) and I'll be there a good fraction of the conference. Cheers, -Jim Quote
Jeff B Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Hey guys, The invite managed to find its way my direction. I'd really like to meet you guys, so I'm going to try to make it. A few questions I have: Originally you mentioned seats were limited, but it looks like over 60 people have accepted the evite already! How many seats are there? By when do I need to pre-pay? Any guesses as to when the group would arrive at the Salt Lick? I probably won't be coming from the convention center. Based on your departure time, the distance, and the beer run, I'm guessing you would get there between 6:45 - 7 pm? Thanks! Jeff Quote
crelf Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 QUOTE(Jeff B @ Jul 31 2007, 04:56 AM) How many seats are there? We've already gone over the expected head-count, so I've moved us to a bigger room QUOTE(Jeff B @ Jul 31 2007, 04:56 AM) By when do I need to pre-pay? There's no real cut off, but I'd really prefer it if you paid this week sometime - that means I can do PayPal transfers in time. QUOTE(Jeff B @ Jul 31 2007, 04:56 AM) Any guesses as to when the group would arrive at the Salt Lick? 6:45pm - 7:00pm is an excellent guess: we have the room booked for 7pm, and based on previous beer-buying time, we sould be there around that time. I hope you can make it - looking at previous years, it's going to be a blast! :thumbup: Quote
Norm Kirchner Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 QUOTE(crelf @ Jun 29 2007, 01:52 PM) Actually, it'll probably be less awesome, as there'll be less beer ..... LESS BEER!!! Don't toy w/ me.... I just can't handle it Quote

Quick update: this year is going to be the BIGGEST LAVA/OpenG BBQ ever! We've already had 65 people register and pay :thumbup: Quote
crelf Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Posted August 5, 2007 Getting to the Salt Lick We've had a huuuuuuuge rise in numbers this year, so our BBQ is going to be bigger than ever. This means that the bus is going to have overflow, so if there's going to be anyone coming that has their own car, it'd be really appreciated if you could not only get yourself to the Salt Lick, but also offer up a seat or two in your car to get another attendee there as well (Who knows? Maybe it'll be the start of a beautiful friendship ) If you do have a car and are willing to take a person or three, please be waiting out with the bus at 5:45pm so we can shepard people your way. You can get directions from the convention centre to the Salt Lick here. If you can help out, please reply here so we can get an idea of how many cars we need. Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 crelf, don't forget that there are TWO Salt Lick locations. Make sure the directions are to the correct one. We have more people this year so we are going to be at the big place right? Quote

Wow! Two buses loaded with engineers and scientists. I hope there aren't any flat tires on the way because it would takes days to settle if an object or component oriented approach should be used. Even worse if there was an electrical problem. Someone would hit ctrl-b and the next thing you know they will have to call for a backup! Have fun all! Ben Quote
David Boyd Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 I'd like to join the fray but this year the whole family is here, and I got the kids passes to come in and watch the Lego Robotics event. Chris, any chance we could join up later on? We've got our own wheels for this trip. Needless to say, I didn't pre-register, so if we come we'd be paying for our food on our own. As I write this, I'm waiting for the exhibit hall to open up. Been in class all day. I'll look for replies later on this evening. Best wishes, Dave Quote
