Why not do something particularly snazzy for a LUG meeting like a
bigger or cleverer demonstration that would knock peoples socks off
perhaps something like keroshi in action (what with the new term

them or something?

Do it as a full professional demonstration rather than the usual
helping install and concept demonstration.
