Chris - Thanks for responding.  I'd like to hear consensus from
others, if they'd be interested in Kevin giving a presentation.  For
those who don't know who he is, wikipedia has a summary...

http://en.wikiped...

He's written two books, both of which were on the NY Times bestseller list...

The Art of Intrusion
http://www.wiley....

The Art of Deception
http://www.wiley....

He's been the subject of countless books, article and interviews, including...

Takedown - The Pursuit and Capture of Kevin Mitnick
http://www.amazon...

... and the movie (now on DVD) Trackdown, in which both Kevin and I
are portrayed...

http://www.amazon...

For the first time in more than a decade, Kevin and I are
collaborating on a third book, to be published in December.

If there's enough interest in having him/us speak, I'd like to know in
advance so that I can arrange something during his stay with me.
There would likely be some live demonstrations of various techniques
(on a LAN set up for this purpose).  It would not be on a regular
Thursday meeting day, but more likely on Saturday.  If need be, we
could have the meeting at my home.  We can support roughly 60 people
comfortably at home.

Regards,
Lew Payne
