[Buffalo-pm] Buffalo PM Summer Schedule

[Kevin Christopher]

Hey Dan and fellow Perl Mongers!

Things are going well out here in Arizona. I'm living in Sierra Vista, 
about and hour's drive outside of Tucson. I was down in Tucson all day 
yesterday and it was 103 degrees, which didn't feel quite as hot as I 
was expecting. (Right...)

In mid-April I got a job as a junior programmer with a start-up company 
developing web applications in Perl with Template-Toolkit. (Found the 
opening on jobs.perl.org, which I thought was very cool).

I thought I might be back in Buffalo this month, but that's not going to 
happen until September now, so I'm going to miss out on all the YAPC fun 
this year. Hopefully I'll be in town when you guys have your September 
meeting.

BTW: what's the name of the animal on the YAPC::NA 2005 Toronto logo? Is 
it a Moosel or a Camoose?

Kevin
