Haha perfect! Yay! You're awesome devin! I'm not normally one for traditional political cycles, but I'll make an exception ;)
(To be candid, I'm most interested in changing the shape of the network graph of civic power structures, as opposed to getting my guy/gal into a slot. I'm unsure that begins within the system, but I'm open to it :) )
I'm having some setbacks with finding my birth certificate, and so my passport application is already going to be rushed... I'll keep this channel posted as soon as I can unstick!

@ralflin has joined the channel
oh wow, this is a channel
@patcon, did your passport get sorted?
2017-07-04
I found out yesterday that this timeline probably isn't going to work :( I suspect my birth certificate documents are in a friends basement, and they're in Italy until next Saturday...
Small chance I'll find a way in, but it's not even 100% that its in there. So I think I have to put this in the "postponed" bin for now :(
ohhhhh. i was hoping we could pile on and have you attend the NYC ProgCode Hacknight July 18
- 😿1
Ah wait, 18th as opposed to 11th? Is the former one a better date to shoot for? (I feel like I shouldn't miss more than one Toronto hacknight if i can help it...!)

Found my birth certificate! Submitting expedited tomorrow, and should have passport by Monday AM! Gonna try to make this work

Yet another reason that 2020 can't arrive any sooner: https://www.narcity.com/ca/on/toronto/news/a-1200-km-bike-trail-that-runs-from-canada-to-new-york-city-could-open-in-2020

The coolest bike ride of your life.

WOW I would totally bike that
So glad you found your birth certificate!!
Yea can you check the next NYC ProgHacknight? I think it's the 18th.
2017-07-07
Ah thought it was weekly. Shall invest a gate! Passport ready tomorrow AM, so maybe ill plan to scope rides for Wednesday (if 18th is the deal)

Just bussing to bus. Bus. Bus. Bus.
@lizbarry would it be cool if I came to the public lab office tomorrow for the edgi-wide call?
Bus!

@devin no pressure on any one night, but is that couch offer still on the table? (I could always hole up with a friend for the first few days, but I'm eager to meet up as soon as tomorrow morning :) )
Hi patcon!!!!
Yes
I have a 10:30am with a Madrid democracy activist. What do you think you're schedule might be?
You can definitely be at Pfizer. 630 flushing Ave, enter around back, come up to 8 the floor, all the way to end of long corridor
@patcon hi. Ya I can host you on my couch.

@lizbarry I'm open! I'm now in at 9:30am via greyhound (slight delay), and then either tracking one of you down, or settling down to work for a stint :)
@devin what are the neighborhoods you work/live in, and what's the texture of your day?
Patcon, imho probably best to find me in the AM, then Devin in the PM
We are invited to Ray Cha's dim sum tomorrow at 5 Mott
Cool! Place didn't show in gmaps, so to confirm: 5 mott st, or 5pm at dim sum place on mott
By whom and for what?
