Who's up for Hack Night(s)?

So we've been talking lately about doing things to foster
more of sense of community amongst us Tri-JUG'ers... and we
have done some stuff... the IRC channel, having a couple of
"Tri-JUG lunches" etc.  But one thing we haven't (to the
best of my knowledge) done is something that the Ruby guys
seem to have a lot of fun with... hack nights!

So what is "hack night?" Well, it's pretty much exactly what it sound
like... a bunch of us get laptops, head to a pub or restaurant or
somewhere that has some combination of free wifi, beer, coffee, food
(ideally all of the above!) and spend some indeterminate period of thing
hacking code, playing with new stuff, arguing over the merits of the
various "closures for java 7" proposals, share ideas, debate the merits
of Java vs. Ruby, Dylan, Lisp, Prolog, Python, Perl, PHP, Fortran, etc.
and just generally have a geeky fun time.

So, who's in, at least tentatively? And any suggestions for
a location and time?  I'll throw out the High Park Pub
over on East Whitaker Mill Rd as an option.  They do have
food, beer, coffee (no special coffee drinks, just plain coffee, but 
hey, it's got caffeine) and free wifi; and it's not usually too crowded 
on weeknights unless there's a game on that's of special significance
locally.  The downside is that power outlets can be hard to come by
and they do allow smoking.  Better suggestions welcomed...


TTYL,
