The Four Seas Restaurant is available to BALUG (or, rather, its upstairs
banquet is, at $10 per head including dinner) primarily because its
owner is personal friends with the head of BALUG, Arthur F. Tyde.  That
would be convenient if RMS were speaking to BALUG -- but, of course,
he's rather down on the concept of speaking to self-described _Linux_
(without the "GNU") user groups.

Point out that the group concerns Debian GNU/Linux.  ;->

Cheers,                   The cynics among us might say:   "We laugh, 
Rick Moen                 monkeyboys -- Linux IS the mainstream UNIX now!
rick (at) linuxmafia.com  MuaHaHaHa!" but that would be rude. -- Jim Dennis
