Cool but all I can think of is Anthony Michael Hall in The Breakfast Club.

Subject: Re: [PhillyOnRails] Pub Nite!!

Inspired by last night's pub night, (uh oh), I'd like to gage interest 
in a public challenge: _Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer 
Science_ by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik.

I'm stuck on the repertoire method on page 15. I propose a group of 
like-minded individuals, intent on pillaging this tomb of wisdom 
(arcane, obtuse, and sometimes crass), to meet on a regular basis to 
assist each other in deciphering the knowledge contained within.

Sort of like a book club, but with computer math, and serious learning 
to be done. Or like a Tupperware party, without the Tupperware, but with 
a freshly sealed textbook containing math and code and other 
non-perishables.

Addison-Wesley sells the book directly for $65:

Using the group's coupon code will save you $decent_chunk depending on 
which one you use. (I don't want to post a coupon to a public list.)

Anyone else interested?

BTW, I added an Ubuntu how-to link to the PXE bullet of the PubNite page.

Thanks!
