Phoenix.pm: Dan Sugalski

[Erik Tank]

Doug this is what I am going to send to the New Times.  Let me know what
you think.  

Dan Sugalski will be speaking about the Internals of Parrot as part of
the summer Perl Foundation fundraiser tour hosted by the Perl Mongers of
Phoenix group.  This is a short, high-level overview of Parrot, the
interpreter for Perl 6.  Suggested donation is $50 to attend although
any amount is appreciated.  He will be speaking on June 20 at 7pm and
seating is limited.  For information or reservations please contact Erik
at 623-340-5405 or email Erik at erik at jundy.com.
