Hope to see you there!

If we're going to get more than ~10 people, I can go over there and try to negotiate some sort of food/drink special. If you're planning on attending, could you say so in this thread so I can get an approximate head count.

[smanek]

Looks like we've got plenty of response. I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon and see if we can work something out.

[chrisconley]

I'll probably be there. I'm the other guy under matt1's response. :)

[dantheman]

I'll try and attend (90% chance of making it :P).

[dgallagher]

I should be there, and might bring 1 other.

[leertaylor]

I'm also about 90% sure that I'll be there!

[matt1]

Another guy and I will be there as well.

[bkrausz]

I'm 80% there, depending.

[cobrien]

Should be able to come!

[sheldonwt]

I'll be there as well.

[aneesh]

I'll probably attend.

[cmos]

I'll try to be there!

[mechanical_fish]

I'm planning on it.

[UsNThem]

[JayNeely]

I'll be there.

[christonog]

I'll be there.

[willhf]

See you there!

[chriskelley]

I'm in.

[timcederman]

Yep.

[sebg]

I'm coming in from new york city and would love to grab lunch with anybody who is around after the event. We can probably just grab some food in MIT's cafeteria in the student center. Would that work for you gals/guys?

[msabalau]

FYI: The Thirsty Scholar has Trivia Sunday nights at 8, and it's pretty popular, so you might want to get there a bit early to grab a table.

[UsNThem]

Just curious : For the monday event - how many are taking time off from work ?

[chriskelley]

I'm flying in from LA on Saturday, missing work on Monday. Seemed like a great excuse to get out of town for the weekend!

[leertaylor]

I'm already in Boston, but taking the day off from work on Monday.

[cobrien]

Flying up from DC on Sunday, leaving Tuesday afternoon.

[christonog]

Coming in from NC, taking sometime off from work.

[sebg]

Coming in from NYC

[DrJokepu]

I suppose it would make sense to mention in the post title that this is Cambridge, MA as opposed to the fake, less-known Cambridge in England. (I would have gone if it was the second one though).

[mickt]

Nice pic, I looked at it and almost immediately knew it was in Ireland (w/o looking at the tag). U weren't up in Donegal when that was taken were you?

Why the scholar? I've never been there, but the best Irish pub I've been in close to the city is the Druid in Inman Sq. Deadly Guinness, and great grub, plus many of the staff are from Co. Clare.

[chriskelley]

Nah, that was somewhere near Balinasloe - was headed over to Galway.

Scholar was recommended by a local, I'm from out of town - should be fun, hope to see you there!

[UsNThem]

Wasnt there talk of a HN meetup on monday OCT 12 9 am ? at MIT ?

[chriskelley]

Well, the bootcamp event starts at 9am - so I think there was some talk about an ~8:45am meetup outside Kresge right before hand, but this is more of an "eat some food, drink some spirits, talk about taking over the world" kind of gathering.

[dannyr]

Damn. I won't be in the area until October 13th.

[timcederman]

Is this still going ahead?

[christonog]

I'll be there as well.

[chriskelley]

I'll be there
