Free As In Beer at JavaOne

OK, with great help from Jim Grisanzio I've booked the Thirsty Bear from 6-8pm on Monday June 27th for a Java Bloggers social - I'll buy you a beer if you're there by 7. Look for us to the left as you enter. Apologies to those who voted for another night, this was the best option with all factors considered. Please comment below if you'll be there, I have to give them an idea of numbers around Monday lunchtime.
