so who IS on for tonight? i'll be after 9 if i can make it.

Well, me and Idris/Dave, I believe. Plus anybody else who shows up. They have Surly Furious.
I'll be pushing peeps much harder, next time we do have a private meeting space. Also looking forward to meeting the Studio Bricolage folks next Monday night.

I'll be there, freshly full of Harry's Roti and bearing a fresh Arduino and a large spoon.

sounds good i'll swing down after my meeting.

No no, that's a Banano and a large spoon.

but... but... "mah spoon is too BIG!"

Let us know any interesting bits that come up!

..." i am a BANANA"

Speaking on behalf of Dave/Idris, Harry Singh's jerk chicken roti was riotously flavorful, offset with the mauby (a licorice-flavored beverage). Dave had to bail after that, but the meetup was fun. It was a small group this time; me, Lewinski, Judeling, Mike/UptownMaker, and JT. There was blog discussion over hot olives and tiny cinnamon rolls. Michael/Metis showed up later and we discussed the Spoonbridge Cherry Catapult design. (oi Metis -- might also want to start a new thread here under Meetups re: the build)

Also, just FYI, Surly "3" is an interesting unusual brew. It's like a dessert beer. From their website: "A black braggot. Beer brewed with 50% Munich malt and 50% honey." It was served in low rounded glasses which looked like wine glasses without stems.

I may be moving back to the cities soon (this summer) and I am interested in joining/starting a hacker space as well. I have not been to a hacker space but I have been involved in some projects that were similar. I'm glad to have found this site and I will keep checking regularly to see how it's going until I return home.
