Historically installfests are on a Saturday and begin at noon.  I have
noticed that by around 6 or 7 o'clock people tend to be about ready to
be done.  We do normally have pizza delivered so you are right on with
the food answer.

I had a passing idea the other night.  Why not collectively build and
installfest box?  We could all pitch in parts and time and a couple
bucks and build a decent server to hold distros and burn off ISO's and
the like.  I am sure we could even find a home (possibly a roaming home)
for the box to live while it is not at an installfest.  My thought is,
have it live at something like installfest.tclug.org (/me smiles at
jima) and allow people to use it on a regular basis.  Of course, this
would require extra bandwidth (which is not free).  However, we could
also use if for some low-bandwidth applications, like installfest
documentation and picture archives.

Just a thought...
No need to reinvent gladiator, but gladiator is not as mobile as it once
was.
