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!

Okay good luck!
devin 01:08:55
And looking forward to discussing the role of politician in gov0 style initiatives. 😉

@patcon, did your passport get sorted?

patcon 01:07:25
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...
patcon 01:09:14
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 :(
lizbarry 03:35:23
ohhhhh. i was hoping we could pile on and have you attend the NYC ProgCode Hacknight July 18
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...!)

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!
patcon 09:50:24
@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 :) )
lizbarry 09:53:45
Hi patcon!!!!
lizbarry 09:53:53
Yes
lizbarry 09:55:29
I have a 10:30am with a Madrid democracy activist. What do you think you're schedule might be?
lizbarry 09:57:11
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
devin 10:00:47
@patcon hi. Ya I can host you on my couch.

patcon 14:03:43
@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 :)
patcon 14:09:38
@devin what are the neighborhoods you work/live in, and what's the texture of your day?
lizbarry 16:49:51
Patcon, imho probably best to find me in the AM, then Devin in the PM
lizbarry 21:28:47
