The 2nd DonationCoder.com International Real Life Dinner(+Drinks) Lunch and/or Dinner will occur on Saturday, July 14th, 2007.

We will meet at my house in Champaign, IL as before, email me for directions and address (mouser@donationcoder.com).

This is going to be a very early dinner (we will meet at 4pm) to give people a chance to rest up and then drive home if they aren't staying over.

I think the current plan is to go have lunch around noon and then figure out what to do, so anyone thinking of joining us should email me asap!

All forum members are welcome -- but keep in mind that only 1 or 2 people ever show up. But that's ok too it's just a casual get together and we won't be talking about DC much.

-Jesse (mouser)

ps1. Please RSVP by July 10th as soon as possible if you intend on coming.
ps2. I will pay for dinner+drinks for anyone who travels more than a couple of hours to get here.
ps3. Anyone who needs to is welcome to stay the night (I have wifi and air conditioning).



See you there!

Count me in, as you already know.

By the way, my trip is exactly 3 hours so I guess that counts me in for free grub ;-)

I hope you drink alcohol (and by alcohol I mean Orange Juice and by Orange Juice I mean Water)

Mouser, I will come under one condition...
If you promise to teach me how to write C++ and may be my first FARR plugin.
I would truly love to have the privilege to meet you in person and see the person behind this great web community. Hope you and your guests have the greatest time.

One day I'm thinking I must travel to all these parts of the world where I find I now have lots of friends I've never met  :huh:  One day time and money will hopefully conspire and the world tour will be on  :)

I heartily agree with Grorgy.

One day they'll offer instantaneous travel with very cheap prices and then I'll be very happy  :D.

Until there I will be glad seeing the pictures (that I hope will be online shortly after the party)  ;)

I REALLY regret that I cannot attend... I'll be in Belgium, where I'm trying to organise a mini "European meeting" in July, but hope to get to the next one!

Ken, You cannot laugh because you will not be there. You should be ashamed! Looks like mouser and I will be the only ones which frightens me

Have a nice event, and post some photos!

Bye!

Well, a day late, but looking forward to next year...

According to MapQuest it's a 6hr, 1 min drive for me. So Jesse, if your offering booze, food and accomodations, how about speeding tickets  :D

I'm sure I could shave an hour or more LOL

the rsvp date is very flexible, so don't feel like it's too late.

Most of my surviving relatives live near you, so I will let you know next time I get to visit them.  Until then, I must miss it.

I'd really like to meet you guys, but, like Darwin, I'm a Canadian... and I live in Montréal. It's a bit far. One day, maybe... Thanks for the invitation, mouser!

And I'm not even going to be able to make the European meeting!

hey, looks great but I am in Delhi so can't attend. Even if I were in Champaign or nearby I would hesitate attending a dinner amongst some high minds on earth.

Dont worry, my plans to get mouser drunk still forges on untattered and undisturbed like a freight train from san francisco to dallas tx.

I hate being 15!! Grr, maybe if you hold one when I can actually drive, I'll definately show up, it'll be a long drive ( I live in hicktown, Oklahoma), but well worth it!
