Casual meetup
Anyone want to meet up for a drink and talk about what they're doing with Drupal? I just moved to Champaign last month from Saint Paul, MN and would love to meet others in the area.
I'll be at Hubers (1312 W Church St, Champaign, IL 61821) on Tuesday April 12th from 5:30pm to at least 7pm. If you're thinking about coming, leave a quick comment so I can be on the lookout for you. I'll be wearing my blue/teal Drupal shirt - so you can't miss me.
