:-) Sweet. Feel free to invite all your Django "friends" on MySpace, too.

You mean, you're not paid to read ChiPy?! We need to find a donor and 
endow a chair or something!

Actually, though you're kidding... there are a bunch of benches outside 
right next to Caribou Coffee. If the weather is nice, and your laptop 
screen can handle the glare, and you don't mind the sound of the El, it 
ain't bad. It would also be a great place for some MySpace dudez to 
organize a flash mob and order everyone to stand in line out the door of 
all the coffee shops at that corner waiting for their chance to order a 
venti decaf latte mochachino with soy. That would be awesomer!

Anyways, see you on Monday. Feel free to blog it, and especially email the 
other ChiCoder lists (Ruby, Perl, PHP, etc.)
