Yeah, let's get some donuts! I think either Wednesday or Thursday work equally well for me. You wouldn't happen to still be around on Saturday, would you?

Has the massive new location on Morrison opened yet? I thought the opening was supposed to happen last month, but their website still says Washington.

Y'know, Blue Star is right around the corner from Cacao, which has the most amazing $2 shots of drinking chocolate....

Gah, I just walked past and that blue star is closed for rennovations. I'll posit that the Blue Star on N Mississippi is open and a fine place to meet. Updating the loc.

tl;dr original location is correct. switching back.
you know when someone sets a venue, gets new information, changes it, and then realizes the new information was incorrect?
it's back to downtown. 1237 SW Washington St.
so the deal: i thought i'd scouted this loc but actually came upon a *different* blue star a block or so away that i'd done a previous meetup at. Feh, I said, my favorite blue star is closed.
it is not. the new location was just a block or so further.

Woot.
Also, if you want to try to connect at the conf, let me know. I have no particular plans outside of conf itself, so happy to hang out.
