Cool! I'm in.
Seven of us met up at Charles' place yesterday for the abovementioned
food, drink, and chatter. Did I mention food? Charles had laid out
quite a spread, starting with Prosciutto, along with fresh figs,
watermelon and cheese for nibbles.
Dinner was a pasta dish (farfalle with goat cheese and nuts); as well
as Chinese - spicy chicken in black bean sauce, and stir fried pork with rice.
Various beverages were also consumed, with Venky driving me back home safely.
One could safely say that a good time was had by all. :)
As far as this year's FoU is concerned - It is begining to look like
the 1st week of December (or thereabouts) is it - almost all the
non-locals, for various reasons, would probably be able to make it to
Bangalore in that timeframe. Sadly, Charles and Debbie would have
reverted to being "non-locals" by then.
No clarity on the venue yet. Going back to Fireflies was one
suggestion, and "Ayurvedagram" was another. Speaking for myself, I'm
venue-agnostic. Any thoughts from others?
