I highly doubt we'll ever get everyone standing still in one place for 
very long, but more power to anyone who wants to take the ball on 
organizing further LA.pm events.

Yes, BYOB and BYOF. I'm poor -- have location, misc accessories, but 
that's it. The girlfriend will probably whip up a potatoe salad or 
something, but don't expect to be fed unless it's your own feed.

No. Management is against this, but I'll try to work something out and 
will post details to the list as I have a workaround. (electric grill? 
george foreman grill? hotplate? Hm)

An 802.11b access point connected to AT&T broadband should be accessible, 
if you must bring a laptop. There are actaully a couple of power outlets 
on the roof too.

I expect this is more of a "go be in sun, drink beer, bullshit with other 
perl users whilst we do non-perl things" type of event than uhh.. oscon or 
whatever.
