I wish tech meetups wouldn’t always involve drinking, I just don’t like being around that scene.

I guess it makes it more enticing for some.

Sorry about that. If it means anything I will be totally dry myself that night :smile:

This is excellent to see!

For those interested in justifying their trip in, MacTech BootCamp Toronto is the next day … Sep 17. We’ve got an awesome group of speakers flying in from around the US and Canada – people that you normally wouldn’t hear speak locally, about topics that any tech dealing with Apple products needs to know. http://www.mactech.com/bootcamp/toronto?rid=DiscourseMeetup will get you a special deal for registration.

We’ll talk up the Discourse Meetup as well!

Oh man…this is very tempting.

Would really like to come up from Omaha and meet the tired and strung-out, super-programmers coming off their tour of Discourse programming duty.

The bar scene? That’s fine. It gets introverted programmers loosened up for real human conversations without avatars and emojis.

Oops I’ve made a huge mistake guys, sorry. The bar opens for us at 6pm, not 5pm as previously stated – if you get there earlier I’m super sorry, but this should be easier for those of you coming after work anyway!

So it’s 6-8pm tonight at Pharmacy. See you there!

The Discourse team was there in style, all much handsomer than could reasonably be expected.

I think they were outnumbered about 2 to 1 with fans from all over. No pictures that I know of, but the venue looks just like the picture above.

It was quite nice to meet the guys behind the project, and hear more about the history of Discourse.
