Dinner in Brussels?

Dinner in Brussels?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

To those going to the Guix workshop in Brussels this Friday: who’s in
for dinner (+ drink) on Friday evening?

Even better: who would like to book something (I’m looking at you,
Brusselers ;-))?

Actually I’m arriving on Thursday afternoon, so if people are around,
I’d be happy to have dinner on Thursday evening too!  :-) Let’s arrange
something.

I’ll arrive in Brussels after 10:30pm on Thursday, so I’d have to skip.

Definately :)

I'll be around, but I'm arriving later around 20:30 which is maybe too
late for dinner, but I'd be up for drinks if that happens.

I will be in Brussels around 10 PM or so.  So I won't join on Thursday.

In the hacker spirit I suggest we have pizza on Friday. It needs to be
booked.

Thursday dinner in Brussels

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hey hey!

For those of us available on Thursday evening (that’s ~4 people
currently?), I suggest meeting in the bar called “Au Bon Vieux Temps”
downtown around 7PM, and from there we can look for a place to eat:

  https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4120134090

If anyone has a mobile phone, perhaps you can share your number off-list
with Chris Baines, who said will arrive later.

I expect to be on #guix in the late afternoon, too.

See you soon!  :-)

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it and won't be able to help
organize either.  It sounds like a great crowd though, so I'm jealous
I'll be missing it!

I'm in, with a friend you met last year :)

Did we settle on a venue for the workshop yet?

If there is space left, I would join for the dinner on Friday. Has
someone reserved a restaurant yet? I enjoyed the Lebanese food from
last year very much, though it was maybe a bit of a small and narrow
room?

I don't know yet if I join tomorrow night.

I enjoyed it too, but if we’re going to be 20–30 on Friday, that may be
too small indeed.

(Were you volunteering to actually book something?  :-))

I arrived just now; I'm staying at ICAB.  I'd love to join you and the
others for dinner tonight (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday)!

For tonight, that location looks great!  I'm going to spend most of
today wandering around central Brussels, so I'll meet you and the others
there at 7 pm.

I have a mobile phone.  It's cheap to send/receive data (like email) and
texts, but it's expensive to make voice calls.  I'll share some more
detailed contact info privately with you and the others who have said
they will be coming tonight, including Chris Baines.

I'm looking forward to it!

Hi,

I think there was a misunderstanding, I received contact information 
from two
people already so you probably thought I would be there on thursday. 
Actually
I will be arriving around noon on Friday. I'm in for Friday dinner of 
course.
Sorry for the confusion.

This looks like it's a bigger job. First, I have to program an AI that
scans through the restaurants pictures and analyzes its capacity...

No, really, I have the felling many restaurants I found are quite nice
and cozy, but as small as the one we had last year. The second night we
ran into a quite big one with 3 floors and much space, but I can't
remember its name/location any more.

Here is one shot I got:

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g188644-d8461423-Reviews-Le_Bistro-Brussels.html

It has an upper floor, so we can be a bit separated, but maybe it's too
far away from ICAB (45m walk,
https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=50.841693&n2=4.359813&n3=14&a=50.849937,4.374543,50.833454,4.3452&b=2&c=0&g1=-1&g2=0&k1=en-US&k2=km)? 

What do you think? Maybe it would be easier to ran into one tonight in
RL instead of spending hours in internet search?

Hi,

I probably won't be able to come tomorrow (all day and evening) due 
to unforeseen extra work.  With a lot of luck, I might be able to 
join late afternoon/evening.

I wish you a fun and fruitful meeting!
