Hopefully I have the permissions set correctly. The contents of the invite are duplicated below. - jeremy Sat, November 9, 1:00 PM 1834 Ridge Ave #124, Evanston, IL 60201 We are please to announce the first Chicago Area Haskell Hackathon. What is as Hackathon? A Hackathon is basically just a bunch of people getting together and hacking on the Haskell code of their choice. It’s a great chance to meet other local Haskell hackers, discuss ideas, or just hack on code without other distractions. The Hackathon is open to people of all ages, experience, genders, races, orientations, etc. Never used Haskell before? We are going to kick things off with a ‘Get Started with Haskell’ session. Bring your laptop, and we’ll help you get Haskell installed and working and get your started on ‘Learn You a Haskell’ and other Haskell learning resources. Jeremy Shaw has volunteered to host this Hackathon at his place. This means we can bring our own food and drink and not have to worry about staying at a coffee house or other business for too long. You are highly encouraged to bring food, drinks, beer, etc. You can use the stove, oven, fridge, and propane grill if needed. The address is: 1834 Ridge Ave #124 Evanston, IL 60201 Dial 124 on the callbox to get in. You can also send email to jeremy@n-heptane.com or call 619-301-7429. The callbox sometimes fails to get through on the first try, so call more than once if you get sent to voicemail. Easily accessible via public transportation. Take the Purple Line or Metra and get off at the Davis stop. Head west towards Ridge. Cross over ridge and then head north 2-3 blocks on Ridge.
