[Chicago] Ed Leafe of Dabo in Chicago.

[Carl Karsten]

cool.

What can you or anyone on this list tell me about head count for Nov 14, both 1 
and 5:30?  2 or 3 more responses will be enough to move the room.

I have a lead on a larger meeting room from 1:00 till 9ish.  Current plan is for 
Ed to show up and start talking about Dabo to whoever is there, then at 5:30 
have the 'official VFP meeting' which will be the same topic, only targeted at 
VFPers who don't know Python.  but VFP is pretty similar, so it won't be a too 
dumbed down.

VFP group is as official as the chipy, so chipy 'ideas for next meeting' biz-niz 
can happen too.
