Mark and Hugo mentioned they were both going to be in town, any one else up for a meet up? I was out of town all last week, so I'm fighting fires with various clients this week, but wednesday and thursday night are still good for me.

Possible geek activities: indoor kart racing, geocaching, beer drinking, Weird Stuff visit, the obligatory Frys visit, hiller avaiation musem, breaking & entering at the googleplex, consuming sushi, semicon west, breaking & entering at One Infinite Loop, chinese food in Santa Cruz or ?

If you're interested, post what days work for you and what your preferences are.

Matthew

I'm up for almost all of those

Never been to the Hillier place, despite often driving past on the 101, it looks interesting - Wierdstuff is always good from the entertainment perspective, though the size of my suitcase limits how many sgi boxes I can realistically take home!

Semicon west might be hard for me to swing given that I'm in work, but exhibitions are always fun if only for the swag.

Hugo

I can do Wednesday night -- flying out on Thursday.

Anything is fine, hopefully not too far away from San Jose -- I'm staying beside the airport (Wyndham club level, very nice), and have a rental car.

Cheers

Doodie!

I'm stuck in the UK!

I'm down for a meetup. Will watch the thread and try to meet up wherever y'all decide.

Wait a week, I'll be back from Dublin on the 17th.

Probably can make it... looks like Wed would be best?

Wednesday is great for me.
Thursday is not so good, but I might be able to swing it if we have to.

Hmm, we should pick something around San Mateo or Burlingame, as the City People don't tend to venture too far from the city. Unfortunatly, I don't know a whole lot of stuff in that region. I'd be tempted by the indoor kart racing in burlingame, but it may not appeal to everyone. We'd still need a place for food afterwards, and that's where I'm at a loss.

Perhaps nola's would be a good place? I could only make a reservation for 5 at 7:45 online. I can call tomorrow to make sure we can add a few more people, it doesn't seem like the kind of place that would really mind.

Anyone else have a better idea of the restaurants on the peninsula?

On my list so far: Me, Mark, Hugo, Jon, Loren, Music.

Matthew

Ok, I'll say 7:30 at Nola's in Palo Alto. Posting here to confirm you're coming would be great, but come anyways even if you havn't.

Matthew

Cool. Thanks for dealing with the reservations. I have a previous meeting I'm supposed to attend that I totally forgot about, local paragliding club thing, but I'm trying to get out of it. Not sure yet. Will advise!

I take it that means Cajun Food but no Kart-ilage.
Perhaps we can do crazy go-karts another time.
Count me in for the blackened whatever-fish, gumbo, and beignets.
What kind of smiley fits on the end of this line?
Hey, look! I just got a new smiley-maker for Christmas.

K, I'm in, and Kelly will be meeting us there.

I'm heading out now, see everyone at 7:30.

Matthew

Sorry, I can't make it.

- Jon

Doh! Totally forgot to check the board

Errr, I'm leaving now. Only an hour and a bit late.

Hugo

Well, Hugo did indeed meet up with us for dessert!

And there was cider later, too

Apologies for completely forgetting to read the board for two days... I'm just hungrier than I would have been if I'd arrived when I was supposed to!

Good to see everyone!

Hugo

Yeap, good times. I ate way too much. Thanks for showing up folks!

I had a great time.

Maybe after Hugo moves out here permanently, we can do it again -- but with go-karts!

And if Mark becomes a semi-regular visitor, we can time it for his next visit as well....
