I don't know if Herb Richter is on the list but he calls the shots for
NewTLUG.  You should contact him.

That's nice for LW but what benefit does an actual LUG meeting at the show do
for {GTA,T,NewT}LUG?  If the goal is recruiting new members: paid or just the
old kind, doesn't the booth do that (and plugs by anyone giving a talk)?  I'm
at a loss as to what other goals *LUG would have at the show, too (honestly).

Don't get me wrong, though.  I like Jai and Bruce and all the people at LW.
If the volunteers and will are there, by all means, let's do something.

Regards,
