Journal Journal: Slashdot Party, Middleton, WI
Well, It's the day after the 10th anniversary Slashdot Party in Middleton, WI. As far as I know we all survived.
I and my lady (yes I have one) arrived around 7:00 pm, apparently we were not the first. There was one lone software DB there in his fervor to get his Friday night started right, with the power of beer. A few other had arrived earlier for dinner first, we did not meet them until later. About 7:25 pm our host Zonk arrived with the big box of gifts. It was perhaps only a few minutes and soon many Slashdotters arrived. Apparently the Pub had reserved us one booth, we were to get more later but for a while there were enough of us present to readily break fire codes. Probably 25 or thirty of us eventually showed up. As far as I know every one got a cool think geek promo code worth $10 off and the promised XL special edition Slashdot tee shirts. The night was for a few beers and conversation, that is what happened. I don't feel the need to say more. Of course, feel free to add if you want to.
The lady took many pictures and put them up on flicker in all their 8 mega pixel glory (1.6 MB each). Feel free to name everybody here or on Flicker, enjoy.
