So I've been in touch with Briana de Jong, the Events Marketing Manager
at Puppet Labs.  As Steve and Benjamin pointed out, they're quite
willing to host us, great!

Some bad news though, I asked about alcohol polciy and here's what
Briana had to say:

Ugh... sorry folks, I think we're out of options for a free-flowing
alcohol environment unless we do something drastic like bus out to the
countryside.

If we proceed with Puppet Labs, we should commit to a date.  Is Monday
August 25th good?  I asked about Sunday, Puppet Labs isn't open on the
weekends.
