[boston-lisp-meeting-register] Visiting Boston
by David Hilton 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

I'll be visiting Boston/NYC/Baltimore for a couple of weeks and am planning on attending. As far as foods, I'm LDS (mormon), so I don't consume coffee, tea, or alcohol. (If this goes to Fare, you talked with me a little bit about this on the LispNYC irc channel, and thanks for the heads up on the meeting times) Thanks, David Hilton

Hi, I'm RSVPing to the June 25th Boston Lisp Meeting.

by Faré 08 Jun '08

For the June meeting, I'm registering: * My gf Lauren and I * Danny Yoo * Shriram and his with Katie Fisler, who are vegetarian I intend to order Thai food, though I don't know where from. [ François-René ÐVB Rideau | Reflection&Cybernethics | http://fare.tunes.org ] God gave me brains so that I use it, and appreciate his work with the eyes of a critic and a connoisseur; not so that I behave like a fool, and believe the twaddles of the first come prophets and priests.

Unfortunately I have to cancel tonight. If someone can tell me how many people attended, I can post a writeup anyway just based on Fare's description of the speakers. If anybody takes pictures let me know.
