Last night after HackNight, I stayed up until 5am.  I cleaned my home office for a while, peeked in my newly arrived dojo book (Mastering Dojo),  and got free tickets for DjangoCon 2008!!   The second batch will be released at 6:00pm (UTC) – August 1st, 2008.   This is django’s first conference (and 1.0 release party!), and it is being held at the GooglePlex in Mountain View on the 6th and 7th of September.   If you’re interested in going,  and you should be if you are doing any django or appengine stuff.   I suggest getting on #django on freenode a few minutes before they release the tickets.  The server was -slammed- this morning, and there was no way to get to the registration url until it was pasted into IRC. Bryan Veloso, I owe you a beer.

The weather has been awesome lately, so it’s time to start having HackNight in the park again. There’s a Rubber Duck Regata tonight too, so if you have a rubber ducky, bring it and race!

Additionally, Vivace Roasteria on Denny is closing it’s doors to make way for Sound Transit’s Broadway station, so stop in and grab some of the tastiest espresso on the hill before it turns to rubble.
