He'll be here the week of February 19 through 23. I asked him if he'd be interested in giving a talk at a Perl Mongers meeting, and he said he would be. I don't know what his talk would be about yet, but I can find out if the group is interested. I'm contacting you to see if a "special" meeting could be scheduled for that week, since the regular "second Wednesday of the month" meeting would be the week before.

I'm quite sure we can arrange something :) If any day would work, then the 21st, being a Wednesday, would seem to be the default choice. I'm sure I can find a venue and an audience for whatever day's convenient, though :) Ian P.S.

Well maybe I don't mind so much if the food is worth it. Joe's Garage seems OK. Vietnamese doesn't seem very Minnesotan (or American).

Vietnamese doesn't seem very Minnesotan (or > American). In what way is Vietnamese food less American than what's served at Joe's (which AFAICT include things like Thai food)? While the stereotype of Minnesota is Swedes and Norwegians, the fact is that the Twin Cities has a decent size non-white population as well, including Vietnamese, Hmong, Ethiopian, and Somali. Those are cuisines you'll find a lot less of in many other places, and AFAIC the fact that they're so common here makes them as Minnesotan as anything made by white people, to be blunt. That said, I'm fine with going to Joe's. They told Ken they could make vegan food. My take on it is we should present a few options to brian and let him pick what he's most interested in. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

There's a place called Camdi in Dinkytown that is pretty decent. I like it cause it has a good vegan selection. Here's some info - http://www.vegguide.org/vendor/view.html?vendor_id=2839 http://twincities.citysearch.com/profile/5588422/minneapolis_mn/camdi_chinese_vietnamese.html They have both Vietnamese and Chinese dishes, and a few Thai options too. The Tom Yum noodle soup I tried was really delicious. > Oh, and who's coming? Suppose someone'd better book a table....

Suppose someone'd better book a table.... Er, due to unforseen medical excitment (apparently a virus has taken up residence in my inner ear, resulting in fun intermittent vertigo) I'm not going to be coming to dinner tomorrow night :( The current list is: brian d foy Dave Rolsky Ardeshir Sepahsalar Garry Vollink I haven't booked a table yet, on the assumption that either more people would say "I'm coming" or four people could get a table OK. If someone else (Dave?) could take over any other organising, that'd be groovy....

I'll be there, and I think three other people from Holmes Corp. will be there. By "there" I mean the Camdi Chinese Vietnamese Restaurant at 1325 4th St SE in Dinkytown (phone: (612) 331-4194), at around 7pm. I can't speak for my colleagues, but I'm going to skip Nye's.
