Sweet! I will be there.

Any plans for drinks before, after or both?

 

[Eos of the Eons]

Thursday? Sigh. Due to moving, working two jobs, a trial, and attempting to get funds together to go to TAM this year by the end of this month (yeah, all that by the end of this month), I don't think I came come And I'm only about an hour away! *sob*

Tell Phil I said hi, and hope to see him at TAM. Perty please?

 

[Fitter]

Bumping for Thursday evening.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I've never heard of Phil Plait.

Or Calgary.

 

[rustypouch]

Bump for tonight!

But seriously... where for drinks after? There's not much that end of downtown.

 

[Eos of the Eons]

So, how was it? huh huh? Did ya hug him for me?

 

[Fitter]

Unfortunately the restraining order prevented me from hugging him. I'm not sure if Rustypouch or Rebecca Bradley made it to the gathering after but I was unable due to work commitments. Stupid work. The talk was typical Phil, educational and entertaining.

Did he drive on the wrong side of the road getting there?
