[Kc] January meeting - new (temporary?) location

[Andrew Moore]

Just a reminder that tonight's Kansas City Perl Mongers meeting is at
7pm at a NEW LOCATION at Barley's Brewhaus on Midland in
Shawnee. We'll be meeting on the "bandstand" area, which is just to
the right (South) of the bar.

I'll put together some points to share about new stuff in perl 5.10
and how perl 6 is doing, but nothing formal. I also have a spare copy
of Perl Best Practices that I can give away. Please bring questions
and things to share with the gang.

See you there!
-Andy
