[Fwd: [u-u] SCO event :|]

[Madison Kelly]

Can someone print Tux t-shirts? Anything largish will be seen by the
entry people and SCO's sign-up page states that they reserve the right
to refuse entry so we have to be very carefull or else we won't get in
at all. Standing outside will help, but not as much as if we could all
get inside then quietly and simultaneously do something (like the
flash-mob idea someone else had). 

Why I was asking about the t-shirts is that if we could all run off and
get t-shirts on during a break that will be very noticeable but we could
probably sneak them in without being noticed and getting us turned away.
Buttons would be an even easier thing to sneak in but they would be
harder to see.

I'd throw $20 at a t-shirt, anyone else?

PS - I love the idea of a huge source code print out but that would be
too big and get you barred, I would imagine.
