Where: 4th Street Panera Bread in St. Petersburg (1914 4th St N, St Petersburg, FL - the same location as
the first tampa meetup)
Who: As of this writing,
Jimbo Wales,
Angela,
Raul654, and
Maveric149 have all said they will be attending.
Danny (who now works for Jimbo, but is paid by the Foundation) will probably be in attending. All others are welcome.
This meetup will occur the day before Wikipedia's 5th anniversary.
Agreed - it was well worth the drive from Orlando

Sorry I couldn't make it... I thought about it, but ultimately decided against the nearly four hour drive each way to get there from Boca Raton.

Sorry about my shouting friend at Panera today. She knew I wrote for Wikipedia and we noticed the meet-up going on, and then as we were leaving you passed by and I noted it to her. She, to take revenge for my shouting at a professor of hers a couple weeks ago to embarass her, decided to put me on the spot by calling yours and then ducking away. She found it funny, but I felt an explanation desirable.
Dude, it was very very funny as a matter of fact. You should have popped in for the meetup. Anyway the woman I was walking with was a reporter for the New York Times and now I'm sure she thinks that I'm much more of a celebrity than I actually am. This was the first time anyone ever randomly recognized me on the street.--

Ha! Now that'll be a funny postscript to the anecdote — I'll have to search the Times for that article. If it gets you good press, you can always remember me the next time an ArbCom seat opens up. ;) In any case, it was good almost meeting you.
