Okay, 7 p.m. it is, except for me or other folks who want to help setup at 
6:30 and get first dibs on pizza. :-)

It's also (now) traditional to "pre-meet" before any TW-sponsored ChiPy 
meetings at the Bean Addiction Cafe inside the Presidential Towers, 
wearing glasses and a green shirt (or optionally, the Chipmunk costume).

And in hoping to *break* tradition, let's clarify what'll actually start 
at 7.
(ref: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/chicago/2006-February/000444.html )

The pizza will arrive between 6:45 and 7... Let's plan on chatting and 
munching until 7:17, and "officially" start at 7:17:01. I vaguely remember 
reading about some dotcom CEO years ago that liked to start meetings at 
odd non-":00" times to make the start times more memorable. Can you spot 
the irony?

I'll do my best to make sure the projector and wireless is working 
beforehand. I'm secretly hoping for Apple to embed a projector in future 
laptops so that this kind of stuff "Just Works" sometime this century.
