Planned Social: Summer

Rocket launching and kites with Launch Master Kevin Arhelger. Sometime mid-July through October.


Planned Socials: Fall or winter

-Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary

-Children's Museum. Don't have a kid and feel akward about wandering around to check the place out without one? This is your chance, we'll have at least one coming with the group to salve any feelings of stalking stranger's children.

-Rock climbing at Prairie Walls before they take down the sign we constructed for the Red Bull Creation contest.

-Liquid nitrogen ice cream. This needs a non-Tina organizer. Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes. We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves.

-MAME/foosball/ping pong at Tim Massaro's.

-Parallax build contest ~Christmas


Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
