DaveBarr's Journal: First Post! (tm)

Okay, I finally decided to start using this journal thing.

So, I braved the subzero cold and attended my first Slashdot Meetup. I have been wanting to go for months (since they started) but have always been busy doing something else. You'd think me being laid off would allow me more free time.

All I have to say is: the venue rather sucked. I should have checked out what the venue actually *was* beforehand, as I was really in the mood for a drink. An gamer cafe/coffee shop is not what I had in mind. :-)

It would have been nice to have some food there and something fun to do. I concur with others who expressed doubt as to the, um, integrity of the venue selection process.

Anyway, "hi" to all the people who were there and are reading this. Add me as Friend if you like so I can find all of you. :-) (mwhahahaha)

Pizza Luce!

Just trying to garner support for the next voting opportunity. It's a wonderful place where 2 or 3 meetups were held. Fabulous pizza, full bar, general pleasantness abounds. (Yes, as a matter of a fact I am the person who submitted this idea to meetup.com)
