[01:33] <nhaines> pleia2: we were going to have two parties but I don't think the sponsorship worked out.
[01:34] <pleia2> nhaines: pay your own way dinner at denny's? ;)
[01:34] <nhaines> I don't know what's going on Thursday (but there should be something) but I think on Wednesday, Canonical's plan is to just get drunk at the hotel bar.  :)  If the hotel bothers answering their emails, that is.
[01:34] <pleia2> haha
[01:35] <pleia2> well, after my dinner maybe I'll come by then
[01:35] <nhaines> \o/
[01:35] <nhaines> We should have final details Wednesday and then I'll do separate Meetup events for them.  :)
[01:35] <pleia2> cool, I plan on being on the call that day too
[01:36] <pleia2> mostly to complain :)
[01:36] <nhaines> Haha!
[01:36] <pleia2> I mean, "express some concerns"
[01:36] <pleia2> nothing big, just forwarding along some passive aggressive grumping
[01:36] <nhaines> Every bit helps.
[18:31] <akk> Is the UpSCALE CFP closed? I occasionally see references to it, but there doesn't seem to be a link on the website or sent in email.
[19:53] <pleia2> akk: last email I saw from the scale crew was on 12/22 and they said "There is still room for an UpSCALE Talk or two"
[19:53] <pleia2> "Those interested in
[19:53] <pleia2> submitting an UpSCALE Talk can submit through the SCALE CFP system –
[19:53] <pleia2> https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x/cfp – and mark your talk with the UpSCALE tag."
[19:53] <pleia2> so, maybe :)
[19:53] <pleia2> they also hang out in #scale
[21:32] <nhaines> Oh, I thought they were on another IRC network.  :)
[23:01] <nhaines> It's raining!
[23:01] <nhaines> It's been pouring since about 3am.
[23:02] <pleia2> the sun finally came out here
[23:02] <pleia2> probably means I should go take a walk after work instead of hibernating
[23:10] <akk> It was snowing a little an hour ago, but now there's some blue sky.
[23:16] <pleia2> nhaines: a friend of mine helped mary jo pehl with a book and she invited him as a guest to a rifftrax thing on thursday (I already had tickets), I'm going to see about inviting myself along with him
[23:17] <pleia2> because meeting her would be aweeeeesome
[23:18] <nhaines> Ooh, that would be awesome!
[23:19] <nhaines> I got a $10 gift certificate from Rifftrax so I bought the MST3K episode "The Pumaman".  It was awful.  :D
[23:19] <pleia2> one of my favorites
[23:19] <pleia2> I ran an mst3k fan site a long time ago
[23:20] <nhaines> I first saw it when on vacation as a teen.  It was great!
[23:20] <pleia2> and actually, it was mst3k that first got me to join an irc channel
[23:20] <pleia2> so, it's really all their fault I'm here
[23:21] <nhaines> haha
[23:32] <akk> Did anybody ever find about about whether speakers need to register?
[23:38] <nhaines> I'll find out tomorrow.
