[clug] October CLUG Programmers' Special Interest Group meeting

[Steve Walsh]

I need a volunteer to get there a little early and help with some tests 
of the Nerdband Node. Unfortunately, You won't get anything out of it 
except maybe some pancakes if I make it back for a PSIG sometime before 
Christmas.
