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

dnolen20:10:12

will be there

marshall20:10:42

Just to add to the list of Cognitects going - me simple_smile

michaeldrogalis20:10:37

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

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:00

yes, we are working on that

marshall20:10:16

@michaeldrogalis: The Conj IS a party! simple_smile

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:29

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

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:42

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

michaeldrogalis20:10:45

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

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:03

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

michaeldrogalis20:10:04

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

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:32

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

marshall20:10:44

it’d be hard to top the crime museum

marshall20:10:59

nothing like talking shop next to al capone’s cell

michaeldrogalis20:10:12

@marshall: Our thoughts, indeed. simple_smile

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:55

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 :)

marshall20:10:07

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

@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.

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:49

that would be cool to see

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:08

is it like a thing you can visit?

michaeldrogalis20:10:09

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

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:10:37

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

michaeldrogalis20:10:07

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

richiardiandrea20:10:59

I would love to see the Jonh Coltrane museum 😄

richiardiandrea20:10:09

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

richiardiandrea20:10:37

oh it's a house...

michaeldrogalis20:10:41

Air BNB is pretty reliable out there @richiardiandrea

michaeldrogalis20:10:51

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

nberger21:10:47

@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/
