crelf Posted June 28, 2008 Report 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. [cross posted - everywhere!] Quote
Jim Kring Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 You forgot to mention the sexy lingerie models. Quote
Ben Zimmer Posted June 28, 2008 Report 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

I had considered that, but it makes the management of the accounts in PayPal pretty painful - sorry. Quote
Norm Kirchner Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Since we don't need a bus do we get to drink more?! Quote

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
SULLutions Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Are there so many people going you've overloaded Evite? :headbang: Quote

That's okay - we'll keep it to my hotel room after the BBQ... 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?!?

Ed Dickens Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 mmmmmmm BBQ within stumbling distance of 6th street this year. Can't pass that up. Quote

crelf Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report 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. Quote
crelf Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 LAVA/OpenG NI-Week 2008 BBQ Countdown: only three weeks to go! Book your place at the hottest and coolest BBQ at NI-Week 2008 here! Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted July 16, 2008 Report 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
crelf Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report 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
crelf Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report 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
pallen Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I must be just missing it.... But what date and what time is the BBQ being held? Quote

pallen Posted July 30, 2008 Report 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
