Yeah, I got a promo from them a while ago. Guess what? You are assigned to 
this. I will forward the original promo to you. When signing up you can 
certainly fill in your details, but use promo@brlug.net for the email 
address. This way we will always have the emails even if you decide to 
later on move to NYC without notice.
