Agreed. I would request advance notice.

I think the echoey room would be fine for me.. Although, projectors and
such are a must to effectively present newbie material. Will this
conflict?

Hence my vote for the dual-night. I can't displace you more than you
already are ;) If it becomes a conflict for NNers to PMers, then we will
have to find an alternate host (or something). That or have the meeting at
complementary hours, NN at 6, PM at 7 or NN at 7 PM at 8, something like
that...

Looking forward to hearing interest from some of the new LUGgers...
