I’m in LA (well, Burbank to be exact) to speak at LA Ruby Conf tomorrow.

Tonight I had the pleasure of having dinner at Granville Cafe with friends from Goldstar and Edgecase. Notably I had the chance to hang with my buddy @patmaddox, the BDDMF himself, as well as meet (in person) @gilesgoatboy.

The lighting sucked for the iPhone’s camera, but here’s a collage shot.

It was a nice place. Casual but with a good menu & beer selection. I opted for some Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. Damn, that’s good stuff. I had a “Southwest Burger” with sweet potato fries. I love the sweet potato fries occasionally. It was a burger, nicely done & tasty, but just a burger in the end. I did really like the bun, though. It had enough body and crust to it so as to hold up for the life of the burger, and not get all soggy like inferior buns tend to do.

As is often the case, the night is memorable more for the company than the food. After Granville, several of us went on to BJ’s for beer and conversation into the wee hours of the morning (yes… I’m backdating this post by a couple hours).
