Something fun would be nice once and a while.  However, I have a hard 
time justifying time away on a Saturday without anything to be gained 
from it.  The merge of LPLUG, etc was a good idea, but I want to make 
sure we don't forget that the main purpose of a LUG is to provide a 
place of learning.  I can watch a pixar movie at home with my family, 
but I can't learn to program, or see what other people are deploying, or 
learn about new OSS markets, etc.

LPLUG had regular meetings.  When the topic was scheduled way in 
advance, we had great turn out.  When it was done last minute, we 
didn't.  We often had technical meetings which were fantastic.  Having 
technical meetings being the driving force made the "get together and 
watch a movie" all the more fun.

I guess what I'm saying is, lets make a standing meeting whenever (don't 
care when).  Lets make it primarily technical in nature and announce the 
topic a month in advance.  Then once or twice a year, lets have a fun 
time watching a movie or a party or something like that.  I think this 
will provide the best benefit to everyone.

My thought for this movie night idea is that it may entice people to 
come out. It has been quite a while since we last met and this would act 
as a way of jump starting the regular meetings. I'm with you Nathaniel, 
I want to have some real tech meetings too. We should start a real list 
of topics that we would like to have covered and ones that the 
individual members are willing to lead.
