Calling all vimmers!

Mark your calendars, clear your registers, and follow the leader to the first
Boston Vim Meetup.

On **October 24th at 7pm**, passersby of the thoughtbot office ([41 Winter St #8,
02108](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=41+winter+st+%238,+02108&hl=en&sll=42.353433,-71.128834&sspn=0.013653,0.021865&vpsrc=0&hnear=41+Winter+St,+Boston,+Massachusetts+02108&t=m&z=17))
will wonder aloud at the audible "Om"ing of programmers in vim nirvana.  This
enlightened evening will feature talks by Mike Burns, Ben Orenstein, and Gabe
Berke-Williams. Attendees will see useful vim techniques revealed, emacs users
sassed, and food and drink provided.

Come to learn, or bring your own lighting talk (which must adhere to our strict
"no slides" rule. Yes, really.)  No registration required. Neckbeards optional.

Questions? Hit the comments.

:qa!
