@dave noyes:

I for one welcome our not-half-bad acoustic Stairway overlords.

@Mike Pirnat: Just a random thought. Let's say you have a computer. Then let's say that said computer has terminal beep and or audio bell enabled. *Then* let's say you're in a tutuorial where people are conentrating on the presenter and his presentation.

It *might* just be me, but I might expend the tremendous energy necessary to mute my computer, or turn off the beep.

Not saying that anybody did this, but ya'know... just a random thought. =)

@jason kirtland: sliderepl (slide runner?) is great--it really added a lot to the SQLAlchemy tutorial this afternoon. Thanks!

Breakfast

FYI, If you are looking for something more substantial than coffee and donuts the Double Tree next door has a sit down restaurant that serves breakfast.

The Weather During PyCon

We're getting close enough to PyCon to look at the weather forecast. You should certainly bring at least a light jacket and gloves; bring a heavier jacket if you're not used to cold temperatures. According to Frommer's Portable Chicago, the av...

@Giles Thomas: Maybe Holden Web could help? :)

	Michael Foord

@Giles Thomas: Of course you should be using Python for that damn website... ;-)

@Daryl Spitzer: pardon my typing, that's Daryl, of course.

	Steve Holden

@Daryl Spitzer: Thanks for your comment on my column, Darryl. Look me up at PyCon and we can share a pint!

	Daryl Spitzer

@Phil Hassey: I hope to find time soon to try tinypy on Altera's Nios II embedded processor.

	Daryl Spitzer

@Steve Holden: I enjoy your column in Python Magazine.

	Daryl Spitzer

@Michael Foord: Thank you for mock.

	Steve Holden

@Ian Bicking: Ian: looking forward to seeing you again and sharing a pint or two. Also we never got round to that interview - will there be time after the main con?

	Jonas Beckman

@Stephan Deibel: What can I say? I love Wing. Thank you.

	Jonas Beckman

@Michael Foord: I follow your blog. Great stuff! Also, I bought Movable Python while ago.

@Ben Bangert: My personal favorite pizza is Lou Malnati's, but another good place would be Gulliver's: http://tinyurl.com/35yncb -- it's a bit closer I think (if you have a car), has an amusing ambiance, and can take larger groups more easily.

	Ben Bangert

@Ian Bicking: Hopefully you know of a good place for some classic Chicago style pizza.... and of course an appropriate pub for St Patty's day ;)

	Philip Jenvey

@Ian Bicking: after all these years =]

	Ian Bicking

@Philip Jenvey: This is the first time I've seen a picture of you. Cognitive dissonance! Though I'm not sure if I had a picture of you in my head otherwise...
