WP Meetup in Philadelphia
Asides
I’m being honored by the Temple Fox School IT Awards so I’ll be in Philadelphia next week. I extended my trip so we can do a WordPress meetup on Thursday night, April 10. The current plan, thanks to Alex Hillman, is meeting at National Mechanics at 6PM.
Congratulations Matt!!! Well deserved!
FINALLY!! Thank you I officially love you. LOL
Cool! Wish I could be there to say Hi and thanks for creating such a great piece of software, but unfortunately, by the time I get home from work, pick up the baby, eat, etc.. well it’ll be Friday morning before I know it.
Congrats on the honor.
Tip: If you go looking for a cheesesteak while in Philly, don’t bother going to Pat’s or Geno’s. Unless you just want to go there because they are the famous ones. Believe me, they’re living off of their reputation when it comes to cheesesteaks. But, at Geno’s, you can grab one of his T-shirts with the phrase, ‘This is America, when ordering please speak English,’ which got him into trouble with the City up until a few days ago. He won the City’s case against him for discrimination because of the silly sign.
For a remarkable cheesesteak, Tony Luke’s and John’s Roast Pork are two of the best in town. My favorites there, the Steak Italian, and the Pork Italian. They are steak, or pork, with sharp provolone cheese and spinach, Italian style.
Hi Matt
I’m a Temple Student as well and I’m glad that I’ll get to meet up with you. I’ll be there for sure. See you later
Hey Matt,
Do you know if a minor could get in to National Mechanics? I’m 20 and considering making the hour drive down from Allentown if it looks like they’ll be a significant turn out.
Congratulations!
Congrats Matt on winning yet another reward! That national mechanics place looks pretty interesting! Have a great time man.
Sweet!
Is there a listing on Upcoming? I’d definitely be down for such an event, but just want to make sure you know I’m coming… *grin*
We definitely need to do a WordCamp Philly — there are tons of bloggers from here.
Shazbot. Gravatar didn’t show up on the last comment ’cause I forgot an L in my email…
(This is to correct that oversight *chuckle*)
Grats dude
Yep, Philadelphians take their cheesesteaks seriously. But you have to come to western Pennsylvania if you want a hoagie, which is the real deal.
Ross – good call on the John’s Roast Pork. My favorite cheesesteak hands down – can’t go wrong with Sarcone’s bread.
Ronald – National Mechanics cards at the door after a certain hour but I think it’s later on in the evening. If you’re on Twitter you can send a DM to @natmechanics asking them.
Really excited for this event and to meet you Matt – Indy Hall is good people and Philly is the place to be!
’bout time you were stopping by, Matt.
Ronald Heft: National Mechanics is a restaurant/bar, and we’re friendly with the owners. You shouldn’t have a problem.

Ronald, I’ll contact you through your web site, we can probably work something out.
@Ben, @Owen, thanks for letting me know their policy. I should be there provided my Statistics test does not fall on the same night. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Congratulations Matt!!!
Ah every Philadelphian knows the best cheesesteaks are the guys in the roach coaches, can’t beat the price, size of, and flava of the “saltpeppaketchup” Althought a Jim’s/Lorenzo challenge is by far and away the best food experience you will ever have.
Nat Mech..I love you guys but get the Golden Monkey back on tap..danggit

Who knows? I might even pop up from Bmore. I’m a National Mechanics fan and would like to see the Philly folks again (and you, Matt, but I saw you last weekend in Dallas)

I’m philly based. It’d be interesting to meetup.
If Aaron goes, maybe I’ll go and bitch about my WP 2.5 image insertion woes.
Matt,
As a Temple Student I’m happy to hear you are coming.
I’ll be there!
Ooh, nice. Congratulations on the award, Matt!
Sounds really cool, I’ll try to attend.
Congrats. Was in Philly just last week!
Glad to hear about the honors, Matt. Also glad to hear you’ll be in town, though I can’t make it myself. I’m sure it’ll be an event.
Congratulations matt! I hope you have fun in Philly. It is a fun town. Try to stay through the weekend. Nat Mech is a great place too. There is plenty to do right around. And before you leave, try to get a philly cheese steak from Pats or Ginos.
Congrats Matt
I’m in Philadelphia! But… I am not of age and would probably feel out of place anyway. I hope you all enjoy yourself. Bask in the brotherly love!
Congrats!! On the much deserved kudos for all of the hard work you and your team have done.
Hey Matt,
I met you at the IT Awards tonight. The Awards ceremony was a blast. Congratulations once again on your award. Well deserved. I took a bunch of pictures from the awards and the after party for our AMIS website. If you want any, just let me know. I’ll send them to you. Thank you for coming out with all of us afterwards.
Sweet, I’d love to see some of the pics. My email is on the contact page.

Congratulations! So how was the after party? I’m attending a wordpress convention soon as well, they’re really blossoming nicely.
