Where I’ll Be Next Weekend

I’ll be attending the Ruby on Rails conference called RailsConf in Chicago (well, actually O’Hare) from Friday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 25th to learn as much as I can about Rails and the Rails community, as well as to schmooze avec accordion. I’ll be arriving in the early afternoon on Thursday, June 22nd to hang out with Dave and poke about Chicago proper, a city I haven’t had the chance to visit since doing some client work there in 1998, or 1 B.A. (Before Accordion). Chicago is the home of Manly Food, which means meat, and lots of it. I’m looking forward to the trip!
