I'm also kinda keen to see the inside of the Linux Caffe .. unfortunately, Father's Day also fell on that date, which for me, made it impossible to attend.
<br><br>As far as the monthly meetings go, I think *when* they occur is not as large an obstacle as what the topic is. I'm sure that some TLUG members go to all of the meetings, partly because they're interested in the topic, but partly because that's what they do. For example, I have chorus rehearsals every Monday night -- that's what I do. I think I've missed two rehearsals in seven or eight years. On Tuesday nights, some of us are juggling all kinds of other obligations, and have to decide if the topic is a "can't miss", as well as plan ahead so as to be able to come out.
