Chris O'Donnnell ☛ DrupalCon 2026
DrupalCon was in Chicago this year. I arrived Sunday morning and after connecting with a couple of coworkers we hit a nearby Irish Pub where I was able keep an eye on the Purdue game as we ate. I attempted to go for a walk in the afternoon but it was right around freezing with a bitterly cold wind coming off the lake. I made it about 2 blocks before meeting friends at the hotel pub seemed like the more sensible idea. After a team dinner me and two coworkers headed to Buddy Guy's blues club, where we enjoyed a local blues band and a surprise appearance by Buddy Guy himself.
