APM: Did you guys know this

[Fluhmann, Jeremy]

Did you know where the refreshments were?  :)  
I'm trying to startup a Perl Mongers group here in the Bryan/College
Station area (http://bvpm.tamu.edu soon to move to the pm.org server).
I'm guessing that he probably wouldn't have any interest in speaking at
a meeting.  :(  I don't know what he would speak about, but I'm just
excited that I found out he lives/works here.

I was a grad student at A&M when he first moved there.  I went
to a talk he gave once, and happened to bump into him at a
reception afterward.  I asked him if he had been paying any
attention to the development of Perl 6, specifically the design
process.

To paraphrase, he said "No, I'm pretty busy and I really don't
have time to keep up with everything like that."  The he said,
"Do you know where the refreshments are?"
