Not sure what hotel it is going to be held at yet but the date is firm and it will be held near SFO (between the towns of San MAteo and Burlingame most likely). Hope to see you there, we'll probably do something either after or the night before in San Francisco as well.

I am in. Joshua Redman at Grace Cathedral on Friday night before the meet will be a highlight of the weekend.

Adding to calendar.

I'll be there and with something new for a change.

Hopefully will be able to make it. Too bad we couldn't have it at the Englander

I really wish the Englander would have worked out but between the electricity, drunks wandering in to the rooms, limited parking it was a no go.

I'm out, sorority family weekend.

I checked out the flight options which are unexpectedly cheap. So can I assume the location will be a hotel and will also most likely have an SFO shuttle? It might be tricky juggling this with Axpona the following weekend but I might just join in also....

Also I think the year is off in the thread title.

Mods can you please change the year in the title thread as usual I am living in the past!

Steve hope to see you there, yes it will be at an SFO area hotel

Random digression. I actually saw a commercial for Englander on comcast sports net last night. I should be able to come as well.

I am in for 3 peeps with the usual nutty fanfare. Shopping for my Scotch's now.

As February 27th is International Polar Bear Day, we need to celebrate as the bears below. Also February 28 is Public Sleeping Day [detailed how-to guide]. I'm in.

^^^Cool. A bipolar party.

I should be there.

Should be there.

If Castro Valley will give me the time off I will be there as well.....

Count me in.

When I was at the Englander the other day, I actually thought we could make it work. We might need to have a door monitor, but if we split up that duty it could work. The only other problem is the power outlets and capacity. That might sink it.... I think JP was going to talk to the owner and investigate further.

the primary issue with the Englander is the revenue they seek is from food and beverage in the room as we are displaying in that room the revenue is an issue. The charge for the room is a pretty reasonable $400 though. The other option is to take a second room and have the food an beverage served their. Has anyone run a meet that had a single outlet per wall for say 4 rigs per wall? So that would be say 2 amps and 2 sources on a single outlet fed to a powerstrip. Not sure that we had much more than that at the meet we did at the coffee shop in San Leandro though.

It would be really important though that all food and beverage be consumed in the second room as the room charge = crap we consume - $400 per room

Guess I'll have to take one for the team and have lunch and a pliny there today.

What a martyr! I could bring the Shunyata and we could put lots of stuff coming out of those 8 outlets, and others probably have similar power conditioners/strips. As long as food ordered and consumed outside the room counts for the room cost, I cannot imagine that we won't eat and drink that much. Plus, a hotel room will cost more and we just have to get donations for that purpose. This way, we get a room plus food and drinks!

Martyr indeed!

I'll be there, regardless of wherever the heck this circus ends up!

Sounds like a kickass meet. I'm in. Planning on flying to SFO on Thursday evening (The 25th).

That's what I'm talking about! Been waiting for you to post and was close to PM'ing you. Pliny the Younger, baby!

If I can attend a meet where Pliny (in some form) is available in a near endless supply, then for God's sake how can I resist?
