As stated, if you want a chair, you should probably arrive
early.  We (in my limited experience) almost always have
a turnout larger than the available seating.

No need to bring money, in that the pizza and soda
are provided by the group. However a donation box is
always out, and donations to help offset the pizza
and soda are highly valued (since Tri-LUG doesn't exactly
have a "cash-cow" revenue stream...)

If you have a laptop and wirless NIC, bring it along
and you can get on the 'Net during the meeting, if you:
A. need to double check something, B. want to e-mail
meeting notes to yourself, C. are totally bored by the
presentation and want to surf Slashdot, D. etc.

Be sure to wear something distinguishing to identify
yourself since it's your first meeting... I recommend
a Microsoft MSDN T-Shirt, or SCO ballcap, or better yet,
both.

HTH...

Thank God we have the 2nd Amendment to tell our elected representatives 
that enough is enough.
It's time to put "... from my cold, dead hands" back where it belongs.
