[Samy Kamkar]

As of lately we haven't been able to get a speaker, but I'm sure you 
would like to join us at the early March social meeting (I hope you like 
cheesecake!)
I'll be working on getting a speaker by then for the meeting after, and 
by then we'll have a place worked out again.

Also, an idea for the meeting...since you're interested in modules, 
rather than one or two speakers, what we could do is have everyone just 
briefly talk about an interesting module they've used.  I'm sure a lot 
of us have used modules that have been either really userful or just 
really neat, but we'll have to make sure not all choose the same Conway 
modules :)
[If you're unaware of what I mean by Conway modules, check out:
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=author&query=DCONWAY --
these are Damian Conway's modules, they're all very cool]

The social meeting will be planned for Saturday, March 9th, 4 PM at the 
CheeseCake Factory in Old Pasadena as I said in the other email, and 
again, if anyone has anything else to add/change to this, please let me 
know ASAP.
