Hi Mike:
I hope this email gets to you in time.
USENIX is holding it's annual technical conference (USENIX '06) in Boston this year: May 30 - June 2. Can you please mention it at the next meeting? People should register before the May 12 early bird registration deadline for the best pricing: there's also an additional discount for five or more people registering together ($100 off per person.)
I've also got full-color glossy flyers I can send out: let me know how many of those you can use and I'll ship them out.
Or let me know if I'm being harassing.
Many thanks, -Peter
