Re: [toronto-lisp] Next meetup :o August 7th?

Oh no, missed a video game discussion! (I'm the video game programmer from June's meeting). Well, hopefully I'll be able to make it in September..

I wish I could convince my company to use Lisp, but they're Japanese and rather risk-averse. I might be able to get them as far as Ruby if I really try..
