Minutes of the First Official Meeting

[Walt Joyce]

Jack, et al.  -

We were at the Hyde Park Brewing Company, in Hyde Park, NY.  Is that where
you were?

No hats; you were the one to bring the pm hat.  I said I'd bring a Perl book
as a landmark, and that's what we had to attract your attention.

Perhaps you thought Shelley and I were just one of the 'couples' which you
said you saw lots of.  (Most couple don't sit at a table for six.)

I don't recall red-hair with AT&T jacket at all.  We were on the lookout for
people appearing to be looking for someone.  Perhaps Shelley remembers
differently.

A next time.  Well, we didn't pick one, and we could do that now.

How about this: Thursday October 28th. 6pm.  Same place.

- Walt

In my case, flares might help.

OK - now I do _not_ remember a round table set for six. Are we sure we are
all talking about the same place??? And I was looking for books, hats,
obvious signs. Did you happen to notice a vaguely red-haired guy with a
blue-and-white(ish) AT&T Jacket on looking like he was looking for someone?

I just can't help but think we were in different places! Next time, a camel
banner and flares, definately.

Is there a next time in mind?
