[Boston-lisp] Thanks, everyone!

It was nice to see everyone last night. We were 15 all told. It would be great to get together again in a month or two. 15 was too much to comfortably chat with more than neighbors at the tables at Mary Chung, which we overflowed twice as people arrived. Cambridge Brewing Company presents a similar situation. It could be nice to hold the next gathering as a kind of party, or reception, with a space that allows for mingling, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres. I'm not local to Boston, so if you know of such a place, please let me know. See you next time! Zach

[Sorry if you get a duplicate of this message, but I'm not sure my emails are getting through and Mario Mommer is helping me troubleshoot.] > From the archive at http://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/boston-lisp/2014-December/thread.h…, it doesn't seem like all of of my boston-lisp messages are getting through. In case the details have been dropped on the floor, here's what I was thinking: Dinner, 6pm on the 8th, Mary Chung No agenda, just a chance to meet and chat with old & new friends face to face. I'd like to get an idea of how many might attend. If you're thinking of coming, can you please reply? Thanks, Zach
