# Ghent Geek Dinner - You are welcome!

By Roy Osherove March 25, 2007

**Historical article** · Originally published March 25, 2007; technical details may be outdated.

Looks like there's a geek dinner in Ghent this evening!

[Klaas](http://blog.ict-blue.be/ardonio/) is coming over to my hotel (The Sofitel hotel, located smack dab in the centre of Ghent), and a few other geek friends might show up as well. From there we are considering going to a near by spare ribs joint, or just take a stroll to the restaurant area and see what we like.

You are more than welcome to join us, just let me know in advance - by email at \[email removed\].

We are meeting at 19:45 at the lobby of [Sofitel Hotel in Ghent](http://www.sofitel.com/sofitel/fichehotel/fr/sof/1673/fiche_hotel.shtml).
