For our 2019-10-15 (3rd Tuesday) BALUG meeting:

discussion topic: Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories

We don't have a formal presentation lined up for this meeting, but we
do have a suggested discussion topic:
Spooky, Scary, from Hell Linux/IT stories
Yes, it was again suggested for the month this year, and thinking of
what lies at the month's end.  Many of us have such stories, and would
like to hear others.

So ... this month, come, learn by counter-example (experience is cruel
and rather unforgiving teacher, but highly effective), be entertained,
share your topical knowledge and experiences.  Thrilling time likely to
be had by all. And that doesn't prevent us from also answering random
or specific Linux and other questions, sharing such information, etc.

Please RSVP if you're planning to attend.  To do so please
e-mail us a note to rsvp@balug.org
indicating meeting date.  If you'll be bringing additional guest(s)
please let us know total number of folks you're RSVPing for.
Also please let us know any special requirements or concerns you may
have (e.g. if you have any particular dietary considerations, so that
we might possibly be able to accommodate you, or if you won't be dining
with us but do wish to otherwise join our meeting).

Meeting Details...

Cost/Dining:
    The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
    guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner).  For
    Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
    dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
    person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
    complementary tea) would be in the $16.00 to $23.00 range, and
    commonly around $18.00 to $22.00.  Cash preferred to ease splitting
    up the check.  One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
    needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
    commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
    considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...).  Please arrive by
    7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order
    appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M.
