First week of may is good for me. However, after 6:30 will be prefarable 
. I will be able to wrap my labwork around then.

I agree with you. It's a waste to prepare only for few people. And if we 
are not expecting a lot of people before the meeting then the social 
meeting with food and drink is the way to go :-).
Now, what about also having an informal discussion about increasing 
attendance in our group meeting. Last year we had also seen this problem 
of low attendance with lugsb group meeting too. The problem seems to be 
less this year though probably it has taken some time for that group to 
be known among the students.

I am interested in going to the conference and want to help with 
carpooling anyway i can. We can also hash this out in the next social meet.
