Perl Monks purchases Damian Conway in YAPC Auction

[Util]

(well, just Damian's services at lunch tomorrow)

At the YAPC Auction last night, Damian Conway donated his time and attention for the duration of one lunch, promising to "talk non-stop". Through the combined efforts of particle, Util, chargrill, diotalevi, ChemBoy, zrusilla, and hobbs, along with non-monk John Melesky, our $675 bid won the auction. Our bid was for Damian to attend the PerlMonksBOF lunch tomorrow; we hope all the monks at YAPC will attend.

If we had not bid, he might have come anyway; TheDamian es muy macho monk, and might have super-positioned himself. This way, though, we will have his undivided (fully collapsed quantum wave) presence.

Wow. I didn't need to promise talking non-stop—just tell a few jokes. Then again, I went for far cheaper, some of which was my own money.

All-in-all, "a great time was had by all", and some mumble-thousand dollars were raised for TPF. Yeay.

You didn't raise much money because you refused to have sex with the people having lunch with you :-)

I guess this means us gods will be expected to apply some patches^Wa complete rewrite sometime after lunch? ;-)
