Navy blue Nike cap for me, most likely. And a bit on the young side. ;)

Anyone else plan on attending?

Yep.

Yeah, for a software-encoding card like that "POS" as you call it (very 
aptly named, in fact; I have a similar POS in my collection), a Duron 
950 won't cut it. Now with a PVR-x50 hardware encoding card, my Athlon 
800 does fine... I just got a pcHDTV card; very cool... MythTV has been 
rapidly maturing. I maintain a decent little write-up on how to install 
from scratch on RHL9, entirely from rpms now (see sig)... Okay, veering 
back on-topic...

Moved out of Renton due to getting the job at Pogo, I assume (I follow 
the RH and Mondo mailing lists too :).

That would do it.

Nope. Today's the 7th. The 1st was a Wednesday. The second Tuesday is 
next week.

Nope, see above. ;p

That'd be a problem, if the meeting was tonight. Myrio basically locks 
the doors after 7pm, so you have to be on time, or you can't get in... 
If it is a problem, I could probably provide transportation. Redmond 
isn't exactly on the way from Maple Valley, but not too far out of the 
way (depending on where, exactly...).
