So, Eric - you still planning on coming?
Matthew, you still going to pick him up?
I’m going to go tonight. Might even get a few of my students from GWCC (CIS126DL - Linux Operating System) to show up, we’ll see.
So, that means that if Eric is there and needs a ride home, I can give it to him. (Still hoping someone from the west side is coming and can do the honors,
but it’s not looking likely, so I stand ready to ‘stand in the gap’ as it were
J)
But I don’t remember what Eric looks like… It won’t help Eric, but I’m wearing a black polo (I think it’s a polo) shirt with a small rhinoceros emblem on the
left, and black jean pants. I also will have a red and black anti-static heel strap on my left shoe, which is a silver-colored Brooks tennis-style shoe. Oh, and I wear glasses, fairly short (but almost certainly needing to be combed!) hair, no beard but
needing shave ;-). Most people consider me tall. “Old but not decrepit” ;-) (I’m in my 60s IIRC ;-).
Like I say, probably no help to Eric, but now everyone else should be able to find me ;-)

Subject: Re: This month's meeting is special
This one is thursday may 10th at 7pm, located in chandler at the desert breeze police substation.
It would be a bit out of the way, but I am willing to make the trip, unless there is another willing to bring you.
hmmm. you would still have to travel a ways west. I am out by avondale here.
still, no one has mentioned the meeting location or time. the last one I attended was at the sequoia school and I am not even sure where that is.

I can possibly help with getting you there. I work in north scottsdale. Off by 5pm.
that can work. :)
So, who wants to start?
btw, one important question: where, exactly, is the meeting location? this is important especially if I end up taking local transit. I will need to know where the nearest stop is.

so reliable. It takes longer than 2 hours to get to the east side of town from here (including wait times, transfers and other nonsense). Getting back would prove even more problematic as service cuts off after 9 PM in most locations.
