[Bostonphptalk] Meet before meet?

[Mark Withington]

As referenced earlier, I'm unable to make the BostonPHP meeting tomorrow
evening, but I've got a couple of jQuery books that I'd like to give away as
prizes and would also like to record the presentation for a podcast.  Is
there anyone attending tomorrow's session who lives near:

   1. Plymouth
   2. Marlborough
   3. or somewhere along Route 495 in between

I could make plans to drop the books and mp3 recorder with you.  Just need
someone to carry the stuff into the meeting, Michael Bourque (guest MC) will
do the rest.

Awaiting thoughts/volunteers.

Thanks,
