Stopover in Bloomington #

On my way from FortWright to StLouis, I stopped over in Bloomington to have lunch with ChrisDent and some of his colleagues, JoeBlaylock?, KevinBohan?, and MatthewOConnor. Matthew is one of TheCanonicalHackers. (1YQ)

Lunch conversation was good -- spent two hours longer than I had planned. I especially enjoyed meeting Matthew, as well as PaulVisscher and JasonCook a few nights earlier. You can gather a surprising amount from interacting with folks via email alone, but it's still only a partial picture. It was good to finally meet these guys in person, and to get a sense of their personalities and passions. (1YR)

Arrived at ScottFoehner's place in StLouis at around 8:30pm. Had dinner on TheHill at an Italian restaurant called Via's, then went to Milo's, a neighborhood bar, for drinks. I was surprised to learn that folks in StLouis brew beers other than Budweiser. Had a Schlafly's there, which was very good. (1YS)
