[NBLUG/talk] State of the LUG (Talk post for discussion)

I'm sure Wed Night Market would be much cheaper to have a booth than the
fair. The site says it's $12 w/completed application, but not sure if
there's an additional fee after that...

Wonder if Sonic.net is going to have a booth there (or at the fair)?
