[GLLUG] Lounge Logistics

Hi everyone,

Jeff and I have been talking recently about the best way to get all of the
terminals down to Penguicon this year. In years prior, we have loaded up
the supervan floor to ceiling with monitors, terminals, and other
equipment but this year, that may not be an option. These are the
possibilities we're looking at:

1) Split up the load amongst multiple vehicles. Thursday night, in lieu of
a GLLUG meeting, we would meet up somewhere in Lansing (or Jeff's place)
and everyone would take what they could into their own car/truck/whatever.
The hard part is figuring out how to get all the equipment back to Jeff
since people tend to leave the con at different times on Sunday. (It's my
understanding that he won't be around on Sunday to receive the equipment
even if you bring it right to his house.)

2) Enlist someone else to drive the supervan down to the con and return it
to Jeff afterward.

3) Use another vehicle. A large van, a pickup truck, or medium-size
trailer would work splendidly (as long as it has shock absorbers and they
are functional) and we'll even arrange a loading party in your honor.

Other ideas are welcome and encouraged. We're geeks, we can generally
figure these things out efficiently as long as no one starts an argument
about which Linux distribution is best.

Charles
