Thought we should start a new thread for this...
So let's get a count - how many will plan to come?
- Jon
Tony - Santa Clara is maybe 30 mins from Woodside...
MARCH 3rd, Northern California meet could be at Boulevard Bar & Grill at 17285 Skyline Blvd, across from the famous "Alice's Restaurant". This is in beautiful Woodside, CA. http://www.blvdbar-grill.com/
They have a great outdoor deck in the back where we could congregate. They have volleyball and stuff, good food and drink, etc. If we reach consensous here, I'll go down there and make the necessary arrangements (make sure we have ample power, reserve a bunch of space, etc).
What do y'all think?

I'll be there! Make the reservations!
My only misgiving is that the location, when viewed on a map, isn't next to any of the "big fat lines". (In other words, it's not right off of a major freeway.)
Now, I personally like that fact. I'm much more interested in going to a nice out-of-the way place, somewhere not in the middle of a metropolis. I think that would be a great location for an Empeg meet. But others might prefer a location closer to a major artery, possibly causing a smaller turnout.
Anyone else want to weigh in on that subject? ___________ Tony Fabris

Yes, I thought about that too... BUT, I feel that this location is perfect in that it's about 15 miles from the highway (280), but we'd be in one of the most beautiful spots in Northern Cal. On the weekend, the place is swarming with motorcyclists, bicyclists, and very expensive/fancy cars. In the "backyard" of this place, people come out of the trails on horses, and the sun just pours in. March might be a LITTLE cold, but it will still be beautiful.
The roads surrounding this area are absolutely brilliant. In fact, after the meet, I could show you guys/gals some incredible routes.
Check out the "Outdoor Activities" section on their web site. We could also always go inside if it's raining or too cold.
If lots of people don't like the location, I'll try and find something in San Francisco...

The roads up there around Skyline Blvd, 84, La Honda, Route 1 along the coast, and down to Bonny Doon are fantastic. Worth driving them before/after the meet. I'm in Menlo Park so it's very close by.
I may come, but know right now I'll have an awful lot of work that w/e, so we'll see

This sounds like a nice venue, and the date is quite convenient. I'll put a budget together, check some diaries, and see who may be able to come from here.

Okay, cool, so we've at least got a few showing up. Hey, Mike Comb, you listening?
What about the BAEUG mailing list? Shouldn't somebody announce it there? I haven't got any BAEUG traffic in my mailbox for months, is it still active? ___________ Tony Fabris

I also think you ought to go to the Empeg registry at the developer site and e-mail everyone registered there from California who's left their e-mail address. We could make this really big. ___________ Tony Fabris

I tried to email both [email protected] and [email protected] email addresses, and both failed. I don't think the mailing list is working properly.
Hey Rob, is it possible to get the email addresses for the CA(?) Empeg people so that I can send an invite? Dunno if this invitiation would be considered intrusive to people or not...

I'll do what I did for Rob Schofield - send me the invitation text and I'll email it to an appropriate subset of our client database. I'll also put it on the empeg web site.
Be prepared to receive email enquiries - you may wish to set up a specific email address for this.

Wow, is this good timing or what? I was already planning to be in the Bay Area starting March 3 for business. My flight lands
at Oakland around noon that day. Traffic permitting, it's probably an hour's drive. Are you sure you wouldn't rather have the meeting somewhere in the East Bay? :)

Fixed, and a notice sent out to BAEUG.
Damned sendmail 8.12.x beta... changed the configuration format from 8.11.x, breaking the stuff I'd put in place to allow the baeug aliases to ignore anti-spam rulesets like ORBS.... fixed now.

Hmm, 1364.4 miles according to Mapquest...
Tempting. Looking at my budget, I may finally be able to do a road trip around this time. Add my name to the list as a possibility.
Also, I am getting my empeg right around that time, the drive would be more plesant then dealing with my laptop again. (It handles the GPS very well though :-)

I've got you beat, 1661.2 miles. If I can swing it I may be in for the roadtrip. Hey Rob, if someone from empeg attends are you going to have the longest drive prize?

Awww, you're all a buncha weenies.
My distance is 3,149.5 miles, about a third of it on unpaved roads. I don't think I'll be there. What I could do though is host a meeting for all of the Alaskan empegs. Tom Meyers could meet me at the campground south of Cantwell (Pop. 300) which is just about exactly halfway between Anchorage and Fairbanks, and we would then have every single empeg in Alaska in attendance.

Well not exactly every Empeg in Alaska. Since I have an uninstalled mark I sitting on my shelf. Unless I brought that along as well.

I think it highly unlikely we will drive from England - the plane is a far more attractive proposition, even if it means not being able to listen to an empeg
We did drive to Amersfoort, but were still beaten to the prize by some guys from Bedford (about 25 miles from Cambridge!). Small world, huh?
