a2b3 weekly lunch non-summary for 2/1

I run a weekly a2b3 lunch outing. No set agenda; we do a round of introductions, and people say what they are working on and do a little show and tell. Main invite list kept on Yahoo has about 80 people, last week we had 15 or 16 show up. News about jobs (wanted or offered) always a topic of the day. Looking forward to meeting you there.

Eastern Accents lunch runs $5-$10. Bi bim bop (the group's signature food) is $7.50 (beef), $7.25 (veg).

I'm hoping that next week I'll have "a2b3" stickers, bring $5 US, $5 CDN, 5 Euros, or an unexpired transit card from anywhere in the world worth at least $5 if you want one.

This non-summary will be shorter than usual (I wasn't taking notes). Excellent turnout, 16 people or so. I'll try to enumerate them here, please fill in the blanks because I'm doing this as fast as possible.

Hey Ed. Unfortunately, I've got another commitment every Thursday from Noon - 1:00. Is is worth it for me to try to stop by a2b3 before or after that?

I'm also on page one for 'happy anniversary i love you' - which I personally count as a sort of 'get out of jail free' card. 'But honey, even Google knows I love you - I'm in the top ten results!'
