[Chicago] Ideas for Pycon

[Rob Kapteyn]

In the bar after the ChiPy meeting, some of us stumbled upon some  
ideas for PyCon activities.

Normally, St. Patrick's Day is on March 17, but we discovered that for  
2008, St. Patrick's Day is officially moved to Saturday, March 15 --  
during PyCon !

1. Since St. Patrick is reputed to have driven the snakes out of  
Ireland -- we have a great party theme ;-)
2. Any brave volunteers want to dress up as St. Patrick and his  
entourage ?
3. We know that Chicago is one of the world's greatest places to  
celebrate this holiday -- is there there a place near the hotel that  
we should recommend ?

We should be careful not to go overboard.
We don't want to offend anyone and we want to maintain a *somewhat*  
professional image for the conference.

Unfortunately, the dyeing of the Chicago River and the parade conflict  
with the conference schedule, but it is something that spouses would  
be interested in:
