Sidepocket, I-baLL and Enamon have sadly confirmed what was heard as whispered rumors last meeting.
Around the Clock diner, the East Village eatery which has been home to our post-meeting dinners for a very long time, has closed its doors. The staff and management have been released, and the owners apparently plan to remodel the place into a four-star type of French restaurant.
We are saddened by the loss of our meeting’s home-away-from-home. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff and management for being so good to us over the years, and wish them all the best in finding new work.
After the jump. please enjoy some photos from our adventures at Around the Clock.

A quick blurb for the good folks at the Cowtown Computer Congress, Kansas City’s hacker space..
In order to raise funds and secure their new place, CCCKC have set up a raffle. The prize will rise in value the more tickets they sell. If they sell at least half of their 200 tickets, the prize will be a brand new 2.4Ghz aluminum MacBook, with free shipping anywhere.
Check out the details and buy tickets here on CCCKC’s website.

To the passengers and crew of US Airways Flight 1549: We’re glad you’re all safe and sound.
To the crew, rescue workers, and volunteers who made sure everyone was brought back safely: Good job, and thank you.
To the birds who apparently caused the crash: Jet engines != the sky. Please make a note of it.
