I meant to ask, do you guys have an InstallFest separate from the
meetings?  That is always a killer 1-2 combo that we have here in
Orlando that many of the other Florida LUGs wish they could do every
month (thanx to our continued, outstanding leadership here).

We have our 3rd Thursday night meeting (~3 hours with presentation at
DeVry), and then our 1st Saturday installfest (~8 hours, open ended at
Valencia Community College West Campus).

So even if you go with someone like DeVry for the meeting place, it's
nice to have a separate InstallFest with less time and pressure.  I'm
curious if Mr. Drew would be open to that (it's quite a committment, so
I don't blame him if not).
