Lost Moments #6: Fred avec Accordion

I was at the Make Web Not War Community Night at the Drake Hotel’s Drake Underground room last week, mostly just to catch up with my former coworkers at Microsoft. Among them was Montreal-based developer evangelist Frederic Harper, who wanted to try out the accordion, and I was more than happy to oblige. I think it suits him!

Fred and I will cross paths again early in the new year. First, we’ll both be attending CUSEC in Montreal – the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference, quite possibly the best tech conference run by students out there – which runs from Thursday, January 19th through Saturday, January 21st. Then we’ll meet up a month later at the “Web Techno Conference” known as ConFoo, which takes place from Wednesday, February 29th through Friday, March 2nd.

  • Thanks for the picture, but it was a disaster. I'm not a born accordion player for sure. See you at CUSEC and Confoo Joey. It's gonna be awesome!
