He's a suit right?  We need to 'intercept' him, and tell him about the "Winners" in PDXLUG.


Seriously, I just have to wonder what on Earth we need him to talk to us for.  What do you envision he would say to our LUG?  Something topical? [Like neosporin or something? jk]  I guess it just seems like we lack a defining purpose that might nessecitate an entire talk.

Our LUG is more likely to buy him a coffee and shoot shit with him.  Hmmm.. That would be a nice thing.  

On the other hand.  If you walk into a group of 15 "LUG strangers", plus 70 filler people who just showed up, all of them convinced of something about you.......  That would seem a little wierd.  A social event would be cool.  Nothing like a chance to disappoint people to thier face and in public! =)

So, just in case we are looking for someone to show up, how do we go about that?  What would we ask them to come and speak on?  

In closing, I would have to agree that we are talented.  And Chevy Chase said there is nothing more common than wasted talent.
