[21:23] <noe> My schedule is loopy, so it'll be a toss-up if I can hang out with him, but I could call in, more than likely. [21:23] <jokeefe> but later in the afternoon is better? [21:24] <noe> yes, probably. [21:24] == Bluelustreak [webchat@nrgc-382-64-177-151.bstnma.fios.verizon.net] has joined #masspirates [21:25] <Bluelustreak> Hey [21:25] <jokeefe> hi Bluelustreak [21:25] <Bluelustreak> I was a little snoozy, oops [21:25] <jokeefe> np, agenda at https://masspirates.org/wiki/August_28th,_2014_IRC_Meeting [21:25] <Bluelustreak> What I miss?

[21:29] <jokeefe> not really [21:29] <igel> dunno [21:29] <Bluelustreak> Hmf [21:30] <noe> I would be interested to hear him answer that question.

[21:31] <jokeefe> haven't chosen a date [21:31] <jokeefe> my inclination is after the 9th, since we have a bunch of things to do before then [21:31] <noe> and probably after the 14th?

[21:34] <noe> jokeefe: were you going to let Charles know either 9/15 or 9/22 or should I just email Charles? [21:35] <Bluelustreak> FYI Charles may still be OOT [21:35] <jokeefe> I think you should, if that works for you [21:35] <Bluelustreak> So if you don't hear back that is why.
