Thanks much to the 20 or so geeks who came out to The House of Orient last night for the Geek Dinner. I snapped a few pics that didn't come out terribly well. Oh, and you'll see a few folks have already pinged the original post with TrackBacks to their write-ups too.

As others have noted, most folks seemed to know fewer than 4 or 5 other people there, so there were a lot of interesting discussions. Several folks suggested that we do this again sometime. I'd be happy to organize another dinner sometime next month.

I enjoyed the dinner, meeting the new folks that showed up, and connecting faces with blogs.

Thanks again for coming!

I haven't been to one in a few months, but the RTP Blogger's lunch that we have every month or so here in RTP is a great thing. It's a wonderful idea that I think more places should think about doing, for reasons you are now familiar with.

Now I really am starting to miss the Bay Area, hopefully I can get back there soon enough.

Since everyone knew only a few people, perhaps an annotated version of one of the pictures would be helpful. Attach some names to those faces...

Maybe next time you guys can wear hats with your names on them.. I can see it now.."I AM JEREMY ZAWODNY" on Jeremy's head. (It'd be kind of hard to miss you though Jeremy- your picture is on the blog)..

Maybe next year (or whenever) you guys can have a bigger one with more people.
