Any newLISPers going to be at ILC2010 in Reno, NV this month? If so do you want to plan a newLISP beer one night at the conference?
Also, any newLISPers in NYC? If so how about a newLISP beer somewhere around Manhattan the last weekend of October 2010?
Take care

Well, he said:

Common Lisp and Scheme, even weird ones like NewLisp, just to expose
people to new ideas.
which isn't totally negative... :)
I'd like to be there.
I confess I started thinking about a crowded bar of Common Lispers, and the arrival of a Stranger (played by Clint Eastwood, possibly) who orders a beer and stands at the other end of the bar, wearing a worn newLISP T-shirt under his poncho.
"Hey, Stranger," says one of the drinkers, " if yer looking fer trouble, you've come to the right place. We don't like them f-exprs round these parts"...
then it got a bit confused...

Hehehehe.......
seriously, though, I don't think it's like this... if elisp hackers are welcome at lisp meetups I don't see why newLISPERs wouldn't be... I for one have enjoyed both... more than anything, I think one of the drinkers would ask "hey what's a noo-lisp?" then they would both geek out over the ability to use lisp to do useful things (only later get into a nerd fistfight over dynamic vs lexical scope ;-)
Sounds fun. Perhaps a few bottles of
