I was thinking the meetup would be more of a quarterly thing, but there's seems to be a rising sentiment that we should do the meetup monthly, to help build steam. I'm thinking a <a href="http://www.doodle.ch/" rel="nofollow">Doodle poll</a> might be in order... Definitely a great time.

I'm not too concerned about using the overflow property, but more experimentation is needed.

It was nice to get out in a non-work environment and talk about whatever. Definitely looking forward to the next one. Todd - I saw that fix as well. I'm a little wary of that fix because of the use of the overflow property. Its kind of a 6 on one 1/2 dozen on the other. We opted to use clearfix a long while back, so to do a find/replace (basically) is going to be pretty simple. As for the other stuff that may come up, well, I'm hoping there isn't any, but I'm sure I'll update our company blog if I find anything. I too had a great time.

Going by the focus of conversation, though, you should have called it the "The Drunken Adventures of Adam Meetup." That straw-in-the-eye story got a great cringe from my wife. Looking forward to the next meetup, whenever and wherever it is. My current project only needed the change to "clearfix" in order to be IE7-friendly, I'm relieved to say… though it's not live, anyway. The old-school nav used on the current website of this company (who shall remain nameless) breaks in IE7, so we'll probably need to graft the new nav onto the old pages until the new pages are ready to go. Could be interesting. I'm thinking of ditching clearfix in favor of <a href="http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/clearing_floats_without_structural_markup_in_ie7.html" title="Clearing floats without structural markup in IE7" rel="nofollow">this solution</a> from Anne Van Kesteren (via Andy Clarke). Yes, clearfix has been "fixed" for IE7, but this option involves a little less markup, keeping the fix in the CSS. What do you think? I enjoyed the meetup — thanks for organizing it.
