Start time is 7 pm, location is Ralph's Grocery and Deli, 2035 4th Ave (map and directions), in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, diagonally across from the Cinerama.

I am sorry Anita. I came down with a superbad cold and I didn't feel like coming and exposing you all to my viral funk. I actually had to rush my girlfriend to the hospital after she had a hard time breathing after her cold moved into her lungs.

Well Dan I have used Gallery and WebCalendar to enhance MovableType powered websites and think that they are super spiffy.
http://www.ydwa.org/ is powered by MT
http://www.ydwa.org/calendar/ is WebCalendar
http://www.ydwa.org/gallery/ is Gallery http://gallery.sourceforge.net/
For blogspam I use the comment moderation feature in MT and I have TypeKey registered comments publish instantly while non TypeKey comments have to go through MT and I have to approve them. This weeds out all the spam but the speed of converstation is slowed down. I don't use trackback at all because it has basically been taken over by spammers.

I would love to have some topic ideas for the evening. Here are my suggestions:
-Techniques for combatting blog spam
-Useful companion applications to mainline blog packages (i.e. photo galleries, forums, wikis, torrent trackers, content management systems, plugins, etc.)
