'''Time:''' Cash Bar: 6:00pm Dinner: 6:30pm
'''Where:''' 5 Riverside Drive Asheville NC, 28801

*Cabbing Directions: If you all would like to organize into cabs, I would suggest meeting in the lobby of the hotel between 5:45pm and 6:00pm and figuring things out from there.

**New Blue Bird Taxi Company - (828) 258-8331
**Checker Cab Service - (828) 254-1155
'''Menu:'''
This will be buffet style. So bring your appetite.
*Pulled Pork
*Chopped Beef Brisket
*Corn Bread
*Buns
*Mashed Sweet Taters
*Sweet Vinegar Coleslaw
*Collard Greens (contains meat)
*Fountain Drinks/Sweet Tea/Unsweetened Tea
==== Going to walk ====
Some folks are thinking of just walking to avoid the whole transportation issue. We're meeting 5:20ish by the registration desk for the conference.
* Jon Gorman - will walk unless it starts looking like it's raining hard. Then might do taxi.
* Scott Garrison - what Jon said
* Harry Kaplanian
==== Designated Drivers ====
Names and vehicle capacities of volunteer BBQ drivers. The numbers include the driver.
* Mike Silver - 4

Watch this spacewired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/03/features/werewolf.aspx the obsession of techie conferences everywhere]. At it's most basic, it's a game of information asymmetry -- a battle between an uninformed majority (the townspeople) and an informed minority (the werewolves who live and hunt among them). At its best, it's an off-the-wall paranoid screaming match. There are dozens of variations -- we'll start with the basics, and depending on everyone's stamina and desire to keep playing, save the tricky stuff for later. Hopefully by the end of the evening all the participants will be jibbering, jumpy, sleep-deprived lunatics incapable of trusting even their closest friends. In other words, ''good times. ''
