Good idea. Should we consider you to be the Expo Grand Poobah?

I got word back from Indybox that they'd be interested in helping, but
were not available in such short notice. I told RH that we had been
dropped from their LUG list and that we were having an installfest,
and that got us put back on their LUG list and no swag. No bites from
anyone, really. Of course, if we were to be planning ahead, that'd be
better.
