BTW, what's happening with the meet, has a place been picked out or not?

Yup. The current plan is it will be at a place called the "Boat House" on lake Merced in San Francisco, on Saturday, May 25th. Exact time hasn't been decided. Keep an eye on the General forum and the Announcements forum for the official details when they've been hammered out.

Current thread on the topic is here.

Make sure the hoverconversion kit is in working order by then, you gotta make your proper entrance.
