I would say "yes" to canceling. (There's just too much going on around
here at that time.)

Also, who signed up with "Name withheld for privacy reasons"

????

How is that open?

So, we have a few options before canceling.

1) We can try to get 1 speaker (I don't have any idea who would be a
draw from Madison) and preferably do it on the 31st since that is when
everybody else is doing it. Those that can't spare an hour or two on
Halloween can just not come.

Potential locations for this include: Goodman Community Center (who
have not responded to two of my e-mails now), Granger (where we've had
them before) and as long as it's a small event, UW High Energy
Physics, where we have LUG presentations. We'd have to pay for GCC or
Granger but not for UW HEP. We could bring food and do basically
whatever we wanted at HEP. There is a project there. The problem is
the room will only hold 30 or so people and it's difficult to find.
We could do a better job with signs than I do for MadLUG meetings
though. Also, Chris would have to be down for usage.

Alnisa (and anyone else), let me know if you want a tour of the room
for UW HEP and I'll see if I can make that happen.

2) We can try to keep the art them and see what DNA has to offer. I
know that fell through for the concert, but this is an altogether
different beast.
