June 2005


I am delighted to announce that champagne is on the menu for the next salon. I found out today that I have been offered a position as an attorney at a wonderful civil rights firm that I interviewed with a few weeks ago. As of August 1, I will no longer be an editor, but an attorney at law, defender of liberty and justice, and all-around kickass chick. In fact, I plan to put that on my business card. Cheers!

There are two upcoming in-person (i.e. with food) events for the Salon des Grands Geeks which I hope you will be able to attend. First, a dinner is planned for the evening of Sunday, July 10 in Pittsburgh, PA, where Kiri and Trey will be attending a conference on Artificial Intelligence and the rest of us will be just tagging along like the roadies that we are. This plan is very amorphous right now.

Second, the weekend of July 16th, you are invited to a salon at my parents’ house in State College, PA. I will actually be there from Thursday the 14th to Monday the 18th, and all are welcome to come for more than just the weekend. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will be going on then, which is a wonderful arts festival with many great concerts as well. It will be summer grilling season, and I have all kinds of delicious recipes in mind. I very much hope that you will come, and if you can, please let me know ASAP if you are coming and if you need accommodations, as space is limited in the house and moms like to know these things in advance.

I miss you all and hope to see you very soon.

Post to this section with any comments, and once discussion has occured, we’ll see what we can do to make them reality.

Just further testing the interface. This post will eventually be deleted.
