Vote Tomorrow!

Primary day is tomorrow. Won't you feel better after you've voted? If you're a Democrat your voice is actually heard for once in the Presidential primary, since everything is still up in the air.

E:Strip Dinner: Feb 16 at 7pm

Saturday February 16th at 7pm is the proposed date for the next (e:strip) dinner, to be held at Casa-di-Pizza. This is the last call for changes/scheduling conflicts.

Last time we had 20+ people and it was lots of fun. I think the cost was around $9/each not including alcoholic drinks?

Some photos from a previous dinner:

metalpeter writes at 10:57:15 02/03/08 - Comment #31245: Wow how did I miss read that as 16 I thought it said 19th, that I could have made. I can't make it I'll be at a Bandits game but I hope all you have a great time. I figured I wouldn't be able to make it since I have 3 things in a row but I hope everyone else has a great time.

jim writes at 10:03:09 02/02/08 - Comment #31233: If we can't do it there I will find somewhere else I suppose.

mrmike writes at 09:28:45 02/02/08 - Comment #31232: Might be a little tough getting that room on a Saturday night, but what the hell....

lilho writes at 07:56:39 02/02/08 - Comment #31228: a ho is the only one who really knows how to get it done!

jim writes at 07:54:17 02/02/08 - Comment #31227: Thanks, Mike!

mrmike writes at 07:29:10 02/02/08 - Comment #31226: whatever

jim writes at 04:12:52 02/02/08 - Comment #31221: I'll change the date to the 16th, unless MrMike or metalpeter object?

drew writes at 04:05:17 02/02/08 - Comment #31220: Those are both better for me :)

jim writes at 04:04:32 02/02/08 - Comment #31219: The weekends are tougher, I'll have to see if I can reserve the side room, let me check it out and I'll post back here if we can switch it.

Is Sat 16th or Sun 17th good for everyone else?

lilho writes at 03:59:36 02/02/08 - Comment #31218: excuse me but, cant you have it like that weekend? i was one of the original members, and ill be in town the 15th-18th.

mrmike writes at 03:57:14 02/02/08 - Comment #31217: I'm in

jim writes at 03:25:20 02/02/08 - Comment #31216: Yeah, the 14th would have been kinda presumptuous of me :)

metalpeter writes at 03:16:15 02/02/08 - Comment #31215: It sounds Like I can make it and that it will be allot of fun. I think not having it on the actual day is a good idea. The reason is that some people might have something to do on "Vday".

Next: e:strip dinner, February Edition

I'm going to set up another (e:strip) dinner for the middle of February. Possibly anti-Valentine's Day themed!

Proposed dates and time are in the comments of this post.

Please post any scheduling conflicts or ideas for locations here, and I'll try to best select a date that is good for the most people and does not occur during a sporting event. Whew.

Chime in!

Glad to be home working today :P

Just as well I was at Roswell on Monday, it means I can hide inside today and work from home on my other project.

Now, just hoping the power stays up!

All Good Things

Well, I found out I have a full time contract position for almost twice as much money as I'm making now, not part time like I'd thought in my last post about buying a house.

Good news: I have a new awesome job doing Ruby stuff all day!

Bad news: I am abandoning everyone at Roswell :(

The American Dream

I want to buy a house so freaking bad.

I just found out I am going from 20 hours a week to 30 hours a week for one of my contracts, which is an extra huge chunk of money every month, and so home ownership this year is looking like a great possibility. It also seems like I'll be staying in Buffalo for a few years at least, if James can get a job around here too.

I can't wait to move back closer to or into Allentown. Seriously sick of the Elmwood Village - I miss the grime and dirt!

3 terminal windows

I'm a happy camper.
