I'm in town this week, is there any interest in getting together for an informal dinner on, say, Wednesday night?

I can't speak for others, but I don't think I can make it tomorrow (Wed.). But I have been arranging for a talk, which looks like it's going to be next week (probably Thursday).
It's been suggested that we should perhaps just meet once a month on a set day (the nth foo-day of the month), regardless of whether a formal talk has been arranged. If there's no talk, then we could do tutorials, lightning talks, informal sharing of recent cool hacks, or just dinner. We haven't used this model in the past, but the idea has been growing on me. What do other people think?

I like it. Other groups do this (LispNYC and Lisp Toronto), it might be good to get info from them about how it's been working out.

I like how LispNYC alternates monthly between a social event and a "formal" talk / presentation.

Just had a death in the family yesterday so I'm tied up again for this one, but I love the idea of a regular monthly gathering.
