 Subject: [Lisp] Reminder: Lisp meeting, October 12th 7:00, post-meeting eats

 Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, October 12th from 7:00
 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church.

 Rich Hickey will be presenting "Jfli - a Java Foreign Language Interface
 for Common Lisp"

     * Use Java libraries as if they were Lisp libraries.
     * Allows for Lisp methods specialized on Java classes and interface
 types.
     * Automatic lifetime maintenance of Lisp-referenced Java objects.

 Directions:

   Trinity Lutheran 
   602 E. 9th St. & Ave B., on Thomkins Square Park
   http://www.luther95.com/TLESP-NYNY/index.html
   
   From N,R,Q,W (8th Street NYU Stop) and the 4,5 (Astor Street Stop):
     Walk East 4 blocks on St. Marks, cross Thomkins Square Park.
   
   From F&V (2nd Ave Stop):
     Walk E one or two blocks, turn north for 8 short blocks
   
   From L (1st Ave Stop):
     Walk E one block, turn sounth for 5 short blocks 
    
   The M9 bus line drops you off at the doorstep and the M15 is near get
   off on St. Marks & 1st)
   
   To get there by car, take the FDR (East River Drive) to Houston then
   go NW till you're at 9th & B.  Week-night parking isn't bad at all,
   but if you're paranoid about your Caddy or in a hurry, there is a
   parking garage on 9th between 1st and 3rd Ave.

 ALSO, for the post-meeting eats/discussion... I humped around the
 neighborhood today and ran across the Sunburnt Cow!

 It's at 9th and Ave C, just around the corner from the church.  Easy to
 find, just look for the BIG, RED luminated COW.

 Anyway, it's essentially a bar with Austrailian food:

 They had a good selection of beer and the reviews look good.  We have a
 reservation for 10 at 9:00 under under the name of 'Hugh'.
