[Chirb] JS.Chi next Thursday

[Brian Moschel]

Hey guys,
Kevin Taylor suggested some of you might be intested in the Chicago
JavaScript meetup, which meets next Thursday.  We're going over an AJAX
walkthrough
and a Firebug tutorial, so it should be very hands on and useful.  We're
also giving away free JavaScript books and we have pizza.  I've attached the
info below.  Hope to see some of you there.
