Don't forget "The Doghouse", where you guys are going to be.
MIPO people: The way you describe the event on your website seems a lot more inclusive. Go back to that.
Dang, this looks fun, but I'm barefoot and pregnant and not allowed to leave the kitchen.

Other suggested insulting categories:
"The Dining Room" - Obese Inventors
"The Bathroom" - Constipated Inventors
"Outdoors" - Absent-minded Inventors Who Lose Their Keys
Other suggestions are welcome!
"The Bedroom"? Not as racy as you might think, given that the bedroom of this era consists of two separate single beds. And it's in black and white.
I want to know what @laffinat and @hyperslo plan to present at this event. ;)

You have got to be kidding me. What's with those categories?
