[wplug-erie] Details on Mercyhurst location.

Thu Apr 8 07:55:16 EDT 2004

Hello Folks,

Having spoken to the other Albionite, I have found out that we do have the
firehall, however there is someone on the list waiting for it if we don't
use it (for her daughters birthday party).  So, please decide by monday the
12th if we want the firehall or not.  It would be a shame to wait so long
that she couldn't use it if we didn't want it.

Mike

Sound good enough for me for the installfest.  I only have one problem. 
Regular meetings. I believe should be held at Blasco for one very big
reason.  We can have access to it year round.  Please excuse me if I
don't remember, but do you work at at Mercyhurst and can garantee us a
room during breaks and summer months, that would be a problem if you
cant.  Also, just because you have a projector doesn't necessarily it'll
work for our particular laptops.  While 2 out of 3 failed, I"m not
complelty giving up on mine.  I have some ideas that I checked into
after the meeting, and i think they can be resolved for the most part
and some presentations won't need a projector because they'll just be
speakers/lecturers.  Of course,  if after the install fest we can check
all the equipment and we can somehow have a continuing contact while
studenst are on break and what not, it does sound like a good long term
investment. 

 To be honest with you I"m really just about to flip a coin for the
install fest though.  While the Caf is only $5, if everbody chipped in
$5 dollars for lets say Pizza, thats a whole lot of pizza and soda I can
eat while watching my stupid machine tick away. On the other side of the
coin, I"m a sucker for ALL YOU CAN EAT.  Well thats my pulled in either
direction mentallity.
