Fwd: pre-meeting meeting (or, a BURGER for Carl)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- To: The Chicago Python Users Group <chicago(a)python.org> Last time we met at Imaginary Landscape, Carl wanted to go for burgers and beer beforehand. Somehow we ended up at Hop Leaf. Hop Leaf has beer, oh god does it have beer, but it does not have burgers! IIRC that was partly my decision so I owe Carl bigtime. If you weren't on #chipy then this is to let you know tonight we're going to Fireside, 5739 N Ravenswood Ave, which is 7 blocks away from Imaginary Landscape: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=5121+North+Ravenswood+Avenue,+Chicago… ... home of the Fireside Burger. Supposedly they have wifi too. http://www.firesidechicago.com/menus.html _ Anyone interested is welcome to join. #chipynauts will be there around 5:30 and if the weather is still as beautiful as right now perhaps we'll be in back on the patio. Meeting is at 7, a mere stumbling distance away! seeya, Kumar
