With RubyConf 2007 almost upon us, do any Charlotte natives care to
give some advice about good places to eat & drink?

Hi Francis --

With RubyConf 2007 almost upon us, do any Charlotte natives care to
give some advice about good places to eat & drink?

Scott Nedderman put together a map on the Charlotte Ruby Group site:

http://charlotteruby.org

It looks like we're in restaurant alley.

(Quick snark: charcoal gray text on a black background? Poor design.)

The site says there's a gathering at Ri-Ra's, and links to a Facebook
page. The Facebook page has a blurb about Ri-Ra's that links to:
http://charlotteruby.org.

Where is Ri-Ra's, and what other pre-conf gatherings are planned?


Thanks,

You expect to get out of the hotel? Wow. I'm expecting a few days of
intense learning and networking with some of the most brilliant people I
have ever met. Food and drink are far less interesting.

Now, if somebody wanted to talk to me about a job, I might be able to make
time for it.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

The most brilliant people you have ever met also need to eat, and so
will be visiting various restaurants.

Would you consider hawking "Learning Python" books to the uninitiated?
It won't take much effort. If you read a few passages to the throng,
they will snap up all the copies you have.

I think I know **why** some people are planning to leave the hotel --
so they can get away from the San Francisco Rails programmers and have
a sensible conversation without getting sprayed in the face with
irrelevant rudeness coming out of nowhere. You boys really need to
learn to keep those things in your pants.

I was so depressed about missing RubyConf until I read this. I'm still
bummed, but at least there's a silver lining. I won't have to deal
with the unprovoked, irrelevant, aggressive condescension that the
Rails community is famous for.

But what would I know? Why should anyone listen to me? I'm not even
going to be at RubyConf. I'm going to be somewhere eating food. God.
What a loser. Who eats food?

I can attest that Ri-Ra's is a great time if you're into the Irish pub
thing. We had a blast there on St. Paddy's Day last year.

I see a bunch of dudes in the hotel bar right now...I'm going to head
out and find a cool place to play pool and talk to southern girls
(does NC count as southern? I dunno). Ideally I won't be keeping it
in my pants.

Take it out all you want, as long as I don't have to see it or smell it.

(I am skeptical, but that's a whole nother ball of wax.)

Actually I didn't write any of the above. Or is it just ">>>" that's
being attributed to me? :)

I'd say only the \n after it and any whitespace in-between. <G>
