Who's going to conj ? I am thinking about it

will be there

me :)

Just to add to the list of Cognitects going - me

@alexmiller: Out of curiosity, is there going to be a party somewhere mid-conference?

yes, we are working on that

@michaeldrogalis: The Conj IS a party!

it will likely be on Tue night, probably most likely at the hotel

which is admittedly not the most fun, but is the most convenient

Nice. My team was kicking around potential locations since a few of us lived there at some point. Lot of good options.

there are budget-related considerations as well of course :)

@alexmiller: Eh, all good. Its the people there that make it fun.

yeah, talking to other people seems to be the biggest draw

it’d be hard to top the crime museum

nothing like talking shop next to al capone’s cell

@marshall: Our thoughts, indeed.

I think the downside of the crime museum was that it was strung out that it was hard to find people that you knew were there :)

looks like it was a once in a lifetime opportunity: http://www.crimemuseum.org/

closed in setp

Sept

that's a crime

@alexmiller: Few would get the reference, but John Coltrane's original house is within 5 miles of center city. I used to pass it daily on the way to work. Has a giant mural of him on the outside.

that would be cool to see

is it like a thing you can visit?

I guess so http://www.johncoltranehouse.org/

Yeah, its just a house, sadly. Not much else going on there.

I always thought it would be cool to visit the Saint John Coltrane church http://www.coltranechurch.org/

You know you did well when a religion sort of thing forms around your creation, heh.

I would love to see the Jonh Coltrane museum 😄

I am planning a low budget stay in a hostel in Pnilly...any suggestion? I found The Philadelphia House that looks pretty ok

oh it's a house...

Air BNB is pretty reliable out there @richiardiandrea

@alexmiller: Oh man, it was demolished last year x_x That's really sad. 😞

really? bummer.

@richiardiandrea: I'm looking for a low budget option too. An airbnb apartment for 2-4 clojurians might be something to explore. Ping me if interested.

@marshall: @alexmiller: as weird little museums go, the Mütter Museum in Philly is pretty damn awesome. http://muttermuseum.org/
