Thanks for the report!

Yeah, I didn't make it because my son and wife are both sick.
(So didn't want to bring him along, and figured my wife would
appreciate me not leaving her along with him ;) )

Yeah, I've made and laminated a pair of double-sided "LUGOD" signs to
put up.  I've got one, and I think Brian (our vice-president, and a regular
at the socials) has one.

A few people have on occasion brought a plush penguin or created their
own sign.  Generally, though, we set up a row of tables over on the left
side (near the entrance).  I encourage newbies to ask around until they
find other LUGODians, too. ;)

(For all we know, there were you 3, plus another group of N who got
together separately! :^/ )
