[wplug] Reminder: meet Gittip founder this Saturday

[Beth Lynn Eicher]

I am actually in town this weekend for a bridal shower. It will be awesome
to see everyone,  even if a short while. Just as soon as that is done,  I
will make my way. Can you please let me know where you will gather
immediately afterwards? D's dogs?
