Most of the educationally related talks will be given back-to-back this morning, so we'll have the opportunity to gather the tribe.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 12:26 AM, Matt Barkau <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rmattb1@gmail.com">rmattb1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Ill be coming from PyCon. <br>Perhaps we PyCon folk can commute/train together from a pre-detarmined meeting spot @ the Hyatt, like ~'down side of the escalator on street level'?<br>

<br> Pycon, Jeff Elkner, a bunch of out-of-town OLPC and Sugar geeks, and I<br> are going to all be in Chicago this weekend and wanted to have a<br> gathering to catch up on what's been going on locally (and for me, also<br>
to just say hi to everyone again!)<br> <br> We're having dinner Saturday - 7pm is the strawman to give the Pycon<br> folks time to travel since talks end at 6ish. Somewhere near Union<br> Station seems to be the best compromise, so I will suggest<br>
<a href="http://www.thaiurbankitchen.com/menu02.htm" target="_blank">http://www.thaiurbankitchen.com/menu02.htm</a> (because I like Thai food - I<br> have never been there, alternative suggestions welcome).<br> <br> However, I'm coming from Glenview and Jeff (and possibly other Pycon<br>
geeks) will be coming from the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, so if we are<br> predominantly suburbanites, then a more westerly location can be<br> utilized (also, free parking). I would be happy to get people to/from<br> the nearest bus/train/Pycon, as I am usually also sans car.<br>
<br> Looking forward to hearing all your stories over pad thai! There is, to<br> put it mildly, a lot to share. Anyone interested is welcome, including<br> newbies, so please forward this to anyone I've missed (Pycon folk, I'm<br>
looking at you... I don't know who is coming in from out of town.)<br> <br> If you're coming, please reply to all so I can look through list<br> archives for a headcount Sat. morning when making reservations. ;)<br>
