Hey Pythonistas, The second PyCon talk brainstorming session is set for 3pm this Saturday (that's tomorrow) at Produce Row (2nd and SE Oak). Come on by, have a beverage, and help brainstorm even if you don't want to submit a talk for PyCon!
Happy hour starts at 4pm. Did you know their Frito Pie thingy is made with pork chili? It totally is, and it is a happy hour discounted item ($5). Tasty. See you there! Michelle P.S. Talk submissions are due October 12th!
