Geek Dinner for Oct. 23, 2007

Eighteen people responded to our invitation to a Geek Dinner at Max's Place downtown. I went in about half an hour early to make sure there would be space - I asked the waitress if there would be room for a table of eight, and she said sure, no problem. When I came back, I tried to make it back a little early so I could get a table arranged...but I was still too slow. Justin, Kevin, and another guy from the School of Informatics were there ahead of me. I sat down with them and it wasn't long before the table started filling up. It was an interesting mix with more Ph.D. students than one would typically expect at a geek dinner, but Envisage, my company, was well represented as well. When I left, probably three hours later, there were still four or five people hanging around to chat. Looking forward to the next dinner!
