[Classiccity-pm] guest speaker possibility

I've recently become acquainted with petdance (AKA Andy Lester), one
of the primary people behind the Phalanx project
(http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/) and a pretty nice guy who likes to tour
the country preaching the gospel of writing tests for all your perl
code -- or at least anything designed to live more than a day or two.

He was actually considering DRIVING from Chicago to Athens, but
eventually decided it was just too big a trip, and then pondered
BUYING a plane ticket to fly himself down here and talk to us, but
just couldn't spare the $200-300.

I certainly don't have any spare cash, so I'm not suggesting anyone
else cough up anything, but if we ever do want a guest speaker with an
actual reputation, and we're willing to chip in on travel expenses (he
insists on not being paid to talk) I think we should remember Andy.
