NYLoCo Friday Lunch get-together

Thu Aug 9 21:10:43 BST 2007

Wow, after I mentioned this as one of the options on IRC everybody seemed
to instantly like it.  I guess this is what we're going with.  It's
affordable, it's right off the 6 line which is well maintained and
frequent, and it's got free wifi!  I'll show up around 11:30-ish to start
gathering chairs and couches for all of us to meet (feel free to join me
in the battle of hording chairs). I'll see the rest of you at 12:00 on 248
Mercer street!

here's a pic of what it looks like

My phone number is 585.615.3512, it's my emergency phone, it's pre-paid so
don't call it unless you're lost, late, or dieing.

If you're not sure what I look like, check out my facebook profile, go to
the Ubuntu New York Loco Group, and I'm the one with the picture of me
hugging Bill Clinton.
