crelf Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 2008 LAVA/OpenG NI-Week Bar-B-Q Beer, BBQ & good times - you're invited to share an evening of social fun with the good people from LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects), OpenG (LabVIEW's open source community), as well as some selected NI R&D folks to chew the fat (literally & figuratively). All you can eat & drink smoked beef brisket, chicken, pork ribs, beans and salad bar, ice tea & fountain drinks, and we're holding it at Iron Works BBQ (right next to the convention centre). :!: Run, don't walk, to get your seat at the hottest and coolest event at NI-Week! -> REGISTER HERE <- If you're undecided ( are you kidding me?!?), check out some snaps from last year's LAVA/OpenG BBQs here.

Jim Kring Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 You forgot to mention the sexy lingerie models. Quote Link to comment
Ben Zimmer Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Chris, Thanks for organizing this again! Really looking forward to it. One thing you might want to do, is add a separate pay link for paying for a couple, so you don't have to go through payment twice if you are bringing your significant other. Ben Quote Link to comment

I had considered that, but it makes the management of the accounts in PayPal pretty painful - sorry. Quote Link to comment

Iron Works BBQ has a fully stocked bar, and you'll only need to walk a couple of blocks back to the hotel, so go nuts! Shiner Bock, here I come! Quote Link to comment

QUOTE (Aristos Queue @ Jun 27 2008, 09:25 PM) Keep drinking... it could be. :laugh: Chika bow bow So here's the catch (there's always a catch ) - we need to get at least 100 people to the BBQ to cover the cost of the venue (we have to pay for a minimum of 100). I think we can make it (we had ~70 last year), so please make it your personal goal to convince as many people to sign up as possible :thumbup: Hey - who wouldn't want to come to the LAVA/OpenG NI-Week 2008 BBQ anyhow?!?

crelf Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 PS: The LAVA/OpenG NI-Week 2008 BBQ door prize list is now open. If you or your company would like to donate prizes for drawing on the night (which means free advertising to a very tightly targetted audience) then please PM me and I'll add you to the list.

Michael Aivaliotis Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Wow, looking at the door prize list. It's just worth coming for a chance at those items. Good odds. Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 If anyone sees him, can someone let Brian Powell know that I'll need to confirm he's paid for the BBQ this year before he's allowed in? Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 2 weeks to go! :thumbup: Please make sure that you register at the bottom right of this page AND pay here (doing only one of those doesn't get your name on the list - make sure that you do both). If you haven't reserved your spot yet, you better get your bum in gear - we've only got 48 people registered and we need to crack 100 to break even. Quote Link to comment

pallen Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok. I think I sent the money today. But PayPal was anything but a "Pal". And now I can't log in at all. (Tried several different DNS servers, browsers, etc. No joy.) So, all I can do is hope it went through and keep trying to check on it. Quote Link to comment
