[14:05] <akgraner> holstein, will you and internalkernel be around after 11am tomorrow
[14:05] <akgraner> I have to be in Asheville in the morning
[14:05] <akgraner> but will be finished with my appt at 11am
[14:06] <internalkernel> I can work it out to be available around then, dropping the little one at preschool at 9ish...
[14:06] <internalkernel> how did american idol go?
[14:07] <axisofentropy_> I miss Asheville
[14:07] <akgraner> Becca and a ton of others we awesome - but the 1st round judges said no
[14:08] <akgraner> she sang and Dirty Man (Joss Stone), Back Back Train (Aerosmith), and Lips of an Angel (Hinder)
[14:08] <holstein> axisofentropy_: :/
[14:08] <holstein> akgraner: i can make time
[14:08] <akgraner> they didn't even know those songs - they wanted more contemporary songs
[14:08] <akgraner> :-/
[14:09] <akgraner> they had her sing more songs than anyone in her group
[14:09] <akgraner> they like her voice but I think they were looking for the bubble gum upbeat pop stuff
[14:09] <akgraner> (which of course she hates)
[14:10] <holstein> well, its not a singing, or talent contest
[14:29] <internalkernel> no... american idol has nothing to do with talent.
[14:29] <internalkernel> that's cool they made her sing a bunch though, they were trying to fit her...
[14:31] <holstein> yeah, they obviously recognized the skillz :)
[14:51] <internalkernel> totally... so akgraner where and what time were you thinking tomorrow? Ill be aiming for breakfast/coffee about that time... what's your suggestion holstein?
[14:54] <akgraner> just tell me where to meet you all
[14:54] <akgraner> I'll be coming from VA off Tunnel Road
[14:54] <akgraner> Mall? Barnes and Noble?
[14:56] <akgraner> so holstein if you know where an 15 soon to 16 blues singer can fit in let me know
[14:57] <akgraner> it's manager and demo CD time now
[16:45] <oscalation> anyone around the charlotte nc area
[17:24] <BugeyeD> we have a few from that area here, don't remember who though. i'm in winston.
[17:26] <oscalation> im near charlotte, interested in joining a local team possibly for monthly meet ups, im interested in filing and triaging bugs
[17:26] <oscalation> and getting into dev and programming, i wana learn python
[17:53] <holstein> akgraner: theres a jam up here i think its thursday nite
[17:53] <holstein> peggy ratuse hosts it
[17:54] <holstein> oscalation: im over in asheville, but if you want to join the WNClug mailing list, feel free
[17:54] <holstein> might be some events worth driving for
[17:54] <holstein> wnclug.info
[17:54] <holstein> http://wnclug.info
[17:56] <akgraner> holstein, cool thanks
[17:57] <holstein> akgraner: i can get more proactive if you want
[17:57] <holstein> peggy is cool
[17:57] <holstein> we dont play together often, but i could call/email or whatever
[17:58] <BugeyeD> i tend to drive (from winston) to the triangle for stuff. there's just not much in place here in the triad. there was a conversation months ago about reviving the charlotte area, but i didn't pay much attention because it's not close to me either.
[17:58] <BugeyeD> oscalation: ^
[17:58] <akgraner> let's talk tomorrow...I'll get becca to record something for you
[17:58] <holstein> cool
[17:58] <BugeyeD> seems like tronx was in charlotte, but i haven't seen him on here lately
[17:58] <holstein> yeah, he moved back :/
[17:58] <holstein> job changed
[17:58] <BugeyeD> as in back out-of-state?
[17:58] <holstein> you can find him in #ubuntu-beginners-team though
[17:59] <holstein> yeah, back to chicago
[17:59] <BugeyeD> i think he was the pen tester.
[18:00] <akgraner> I think we can do something for global jam - even if it's just cleaning up wiki's online for the weekend
[18:00] <akgraner> that's a start
[18:01] <akgraner> and who ever can meet in a local place can do so as well
[18:01] <akgraner> nothing complicated
[18:03] <holstein> akgraner: i agree
[18:04] <holstein> maybe charlotte?
[18:04] <holstein> its kind of in the middle-ish
[18:04] <akgraner> everything is an hour from me so just let me know where to be and I'll be there
[18:04] <holstein> no need for 4 of us to drive 4 hours though if its just going to be us
[18:04] <akgraner> ha that's true enough
[18:05] <akgraner> when Asheville will work for us as well
[20:54] <mhall119> akgraner: ping
[21:11] <akgraner> mhall119, pong
[21:28] <mhall119> akgraner: just leaving the house, but wanted to know if you wanted to try ReadFeeder
[21:28] <akgraner> I do...can you ping me a little later ?
[21:41] <mhall119> sure
