Hey everyone, RubyConf starts on Friday morning, but a lot of us will be in town the night before. So, on Thursday night, four of the Ruby-NYC folks will be getting together for dinner. If you're in town and want to tag along, please feel free! We're nice people. Well, the three other guys are, anyway. We'll meet in the lobby of the Lafayette Hotel (that's the conference hotel) at around 9 p.m. If you want to know who you're looking for, take a look at either http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyConf2005Facebook#Francis_Hwang or http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyConf2005Facebook#Matt_Pelletier . We do not have pictures for Gianni and Jason, particularly because Gianni is such a shy, retiring flower. As a side note, are there any San Diego natives who can give us tourists a few tips on good bars, restaurants, etc. in San Diego? Especially places close to the hotel. Such tips would be much appreciated. f.
