[SGVLUG] The Top Ten Reasons to Attend SCALE

[Gareth Greenaway]

After working on press releases for the So Cal Linux Expo for literally 
months, you run a bit dry sometimes.  I asked the SCALE volunteers with 
suggestions for reasons why you'd want to come to SCALE.  Here's what we 
came up with (remember at this point the staff is a bit punchy, too):

The top Ten Reasons to attend the So Cal Linux Expo!

12. The booth babes
11.  An extended tour of LAX terminals and shuttles
10.  The 405 freeway at 5 p.m.
9.  Experience El Nino up close and live
8.  You didn't get one of the flashing, magnetic Google pins last year
7.  Your own personal 6.0 on the Richter scale
6.  LinuxWorld was too far
5.  Walking sideways in expo floor aisle
4.  Scrumptious hotel food.
3.  Tell her you're shopping for that perfect Valentine's Day present 
and these things take time
2.  Your very own VLAN
and the top reason for attending SCALE:
1.  The SCALE T-shirt
(OK, there were more than ten. We had fun with it).

Seriously, folks – here's the real Top Ten reasons to attend SCALE:
