    Count me in.  I have been to several, and they are great fun - if 
just to meet the folks on the other end of an email address.  You will 
know when I arrive.  The car muffler blew two days ago and won't be 
fixed yet.  Hope there are no cops around.

    Is there electricity?  If not, demos must be limited to laptop 
batteries, I guess.  Anybody have a generator?

    Not being much of an expert on Linux, I will bring the Qcad 2-D 
drafting program to demo.  It is available open source for free 
(penultimate version) and costs $40 per CD (Windows, Mac, Linux 
included) compared with $800 for AutoCad.   Two extra monitors for the 
laptop, 3 chairs, card table, and sample copy of users' manual round it 
out.  It would help if I could get the monitors in the shade.
