Hey Team L.A.,

  First and foremost, I send you warm wishes for a happy Holiday Season and a

prosperous New Year...!  I hope this finds you well as you spend some time w/

your loved ones...

  Secondly, my sincere apologies for taking an extra week to get back to all

of you...  Whatwith shopping and wrapping, I'll be happy when this is all

over...  <hehehe>

  In this update, we welcome three new L.A. area MUG Leaders to the Team,

thank a couple of others who may not be able to join us, recap our status from

our last update, and get a layout of our booth...

 

  Welcome Billy Chang of San Gabriel Valley MUG, John Foley of DigitalEdge

AUG, and Robert Waller of MacValley...!  Thank you for joining us in helping

to staff the User Group Booth...!

  This is really good, because after we found out we would be staffing on Wed,

Jan 8th, a couple of leaders found that to be a conflict w/ their schedules,

so we thank them for wanting to help out...

  John has already volunteered to help 4pm-6pm along w/ Bill of the Digital

Design Group, two "digital" groups to end the day...!  MUGSIE may not be able

to be represented...

  Neither Billy nor Robert have specified a shift, so if 2pm-4pm would be good

for you, that would be great for us, as the Serious MUG may not be able to be

represented either...

  Dan, Mike, please let me know if someone else from your group will be at MW

on Wed and would be able to step in for you, or if we should de-list your

group...  Thanks...!

  The other two shifts are solid, w/ 12noon-2pm in great hands w/ the San

Gabriel Valley MUG and CHOMP, and 10am-12noon kicking off w/ the Santa Clarita

Valley MUG and QMUG...

  I'll also check in at 2pm and 4pm to make sure everything's going okay,

cover for anyone who doesn't show so no one has to staff by himself, restock

flyers, etc...

  For John and Robert, the first msg to Team L.A. was a call for logos, so if

you could e-mail both Chuck and me a copy of your group's logo, Chuck and I

will be happy to add them to our respective web pages and materials...

  You can also read the other two updates at the Team L.A. website:

  <http://www.qmug.org/Team-LA>

 

  And now, a recap of our status from our last update...!

  Electricity will not be free, and at this point in time, no one w/in Team

L.A. has expressed a need for it, so we will not be paying the $70 for it...

Please come fully charged...!

  Sales of anything will require a CA State Tax License and registration w/

IDG, and at this point in time, no one w/in Team L.A. has expressed a need to

sell anything, so pls don't... =)

  And two Exhibitor Passes are available to Team L.A. if for some reason you

have not pre-registered for free...  Please respond to me by Sunday, December

29th, if you need one...

 

  Lastly, since our last update, we have a much better, clearer idea as to the

schematics of our booth...  Chuck has updated his confidential webpage for us,

so please check it out:

  <http://www.mugcenter.com/macworld/mwsf2003/boothconfidentialq.html>

  At the bottom, you can see that our booth has three 8' draped tables and two

chairs...  Banner stands are not included, and would be a $10/day rental, need

to be carried in and returned, etc...

  My idea for 'decorating' and 'stocking' the booth is *really* simple...  I'm

a big fan of Kinko's, so I'll print up 3 banners on their B&W oversize copier,

$.50 a square feet, so ~$3/ea w/ my UG discount...

  I'll also print up three big sets of my L.A. area MUGs Map and Calendar here

at home in color, and ~200 L.A. area MUGs brochures in B&W, ~$16, based on our

Stats...  We can print up more if we need 'em...

  <http://www.qmug.org/forum/Map.html>

  <http://www.qmug.org/forum/Qalendar_of_Mtngs.html>

  <http://www.qmug.org/forum/LA_Per_MUG_Stats.html>

  The Map and Calendar will allow those outside of the L.A. area to see how

many groups there are, and for those in the L.A. area to find a group w/o us

having to have a computer...

  I totally encourage you to bring brochures, flyers, newsletters, etc., from

your group, ~100, and whatever's left we'll continue to make available after

your shift, and then move to the User Group Lounge at the end of the day...

 

  That's it for now...!  If you have any ideas, questions, suggestions, etc.,

please don't hesitate to let me know...!  Thanks...!  I'll look forward to

seeing you all up there...!

 

Sincerely,
