I wonder how many other Philly Perl people are in the neighborhood and would be interested in a lunch once in a while. I commute in from Bethlehem three days a week, so I almost never stick around for PHL.pm when it happens -- it's too difficult to deal with the commute, because I take the bus exclusively. So if anybody wants to start declaring random "let's get lunch and talk about sigils" events, especially on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays, especially between Old City and Rittenhouse or so, I would be down with that. -- rjbs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, please--that schedule also happens to coincide with when I am *not* out of town for work. How about this Friday, if no one has any prior plans? Rik, we went somewhere for your Pobox anniversary, IIRC it was Rangoon Burmese? I remember enjoying what I got there, a curry if memory serves. If no one else has a suggestion, that has my vote. It's at roughly Arch and 9th (112 N 9th St) with a menu at http://www.rangoonrestaurant.com/menu.html . -- Chris Nehren -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. --Geoff From kstarsinic at gmail.com Fri Sep 21 12:45:31 2012 From: kstarsinic at gmail.com (Kurt Starsinic) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:45:31 -0400 Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] Meetings, and MongoDB Message-ID: Hi all, Did we have a September meeting?
