[Baypiggies] BayPIGgies meeting Thursday, August 26, 2010: Instrumentation with Python

[Alexandre Conrad]

Hello list,

I just moved to the Bay Area 2 weeks ago and I would like to attend to
this Python meeting tonight. I can get there by bus but it seems
awfully long. And there doesn't seem to be as many transportation
options after the meeting. As I don't have a car yet, I was wondering
if, by any chance, someone going to the meeting tonight was driving by
Santa Clara and willing to pick me up (and return)? I live near El
Camino Real/Monroe or Scott Blvd. I would greatly appreciate.

If you are going earlier for diner (if something is planned), I would
match that schedule as well. That would be your chance to get a free
beer. :)

Please reply privately. Thank you.

Alex
