[foss4g2014] Timbers "field trip"

[Jeff McKenna]

Darrell, I think it's important to offer attendees a place to meet each
night (make sure you have the words "ice breaker" in your event plans
for the night before the event).  Even if it is just a good sized pub
near the event, you can declare it as the meeting place for all other
nights.  Also, make sure that only one of your official events require
tickets.  (i.e. only the gala event should cost the attendees) I speak
from experience.
