Minneapolis/St Paul visit to wine conf

[ #16929 ]

So, this year the conference season starts of early for me, with little advance warning and a strange new conference too.

At work I have recently been dabbing a bit into wine, you know, the ultra cool opensource implementation of the Win32 API. So I suggested to the company that instead of going to all boring (in the sense I heard most of the talks by now) perl conferences again, I switch one and hit Wine Conf, after an hours thinking I got the ok and now I am off to fly to Minneapolis on Friday the 29th of January, see wine hackers for the weekend and then fly back early morning on Monday the 2nd of February!

Maybe some perl people live in the area? Maybe some time on sunday to meet up?

Both Ken Williams and I live in Minneapolis, actually. Email us and let us know where you're staying and all that.

It can get _really_ freaking cold here now. Today was nice (near 20 F), but the past few days had temperatures around 0 F, with biting winds. You really _must_ have a warm coat, gloves or mittens, and a hat if you expect to walk around outside at all.

Most places, when it gets cold, you think "this is unpleasant". Here in Minneapolis it regularly gets cold enough to be quite dangerous if you don't have the right gear.

    He may not remember what it's like ;)

      I lived for a year in the Caribbean, but when travelling from Antigua (+30C) to Canada (-20C) it all came back very quickly :/
