Bay Area dinner, Wednesday 9th June

Anyone want to meet up for dinner this Wednesday?

Anywhere in the Bay Area would be fine with me, including San Francisco although San Jose or somewhere in the middle would be more convenient.

Rob

I'll be there if it's in SF or 30 minutes or less south. Doubt i'll make it to San Jose though.

Any venue suggestions?

I'll try to bring some toys if I can get away with it.

Rob

I'll be there depending on what time (and maybe where, too). How about Concord? Benihana maybe?

Just let me know the time and the place and I'll be there. Doesn't matter exactly where or when.

Nong has volunteered her place in Santa Clara - we can bbq some hamburgers, drink some beer - anyone interested?

Rob

Too cool, fine with me.

Argh, i dunno, that's an hour and a half drive for me after work so i couldn't get there before 7:30 and with traffic it'll probably be 8. I'll see if i'm up to it. Don't plan around me though, sounds like a good place!

Would be great to see you if you can make it, Loren. I doubt things will get under way much earlier than that - sooo many meetings!

Rob

Yeah, it's about 1.5 hours for me too, and I don't get off work until 7. I'll see if I can maybe leave a little earlier. I don't want to miss anything.

I'd be up for a get together in Santa Clara, particularly if Rob's bringing anything fun. Probably wouldn't make it until 7 or 7:30 either.

-Mike

Would you guys be willing to look over my SSR and offer suggestions for the mounting of an empeg. I pretty much figure I need to use one of Mike's remote VFDs. If so I'll make the time to be there.
edit: If there is one (VFD) available to look over even better.

Glenn

/me delurks after way too long.

Yes, I'll be there. Name the time and place, tell me what to bring.

-Z

PS: Glenn, I'd love to get a close look at an SSR. We'll think of something!

Cool, looks like we have a quorum! I'll check with Nong tomorrow on where and when to meet up.

Rob

I'll be there with my girlfriend Christie. I'd be happy to bring anything if it's a potluck kind of thing.

Can we give Nong our beta tester applications? And could you invite whoever axed the Karma remote so we can have a friendly conversation?

Matthew

I've posted directions to the meet to everyone on this thread (don't want to post Nong's address on the net). If I've missed you or you've only just decided to come, please email me for details - [email protected]

Cheers

Rob

Sounds good. I don't suppose anybody is coming that would be willing and able to do empeg memory upgrades?

-Mike

Man, any other day and I would of been there.
It's my son's Kindergarten graduation tomorrow and to top it off, my car is undergoing a very costly transmission repair/replacement.

Driving an empegless vehicle with no money in the wallet really sucks.

Count me in.
Rob, if you can PM me the details I would appreciate it.

Then tonight all can discuss why the console of my new car is Empegless
and what can be done about it.
(Have car, have Empeg(s), what's my problem?)

Loren, are you bringing the banjo?
Maybe the rest of us could drum up some jugs and a washboard and have ourselves a reeeeel good time.

Haha... no banjo. I can play a total of two four measure songs that are the equivelent of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at this point. I never played a string instrument so i'm starting from scratch. Still not sure if i'll make it.

Whats the deal with food and drink? Should we BYOB or a few bucks for supplies?

-Mike

Food shouldn't be a problem - Nong has some burgers and I will stop by Albertsons and get some more stuff for the BBQ. I'll also get soft drinks, while Nong has a keg - but I think it would be taking liberties to drink all of her beer so feel free to bring some if you can.

Rob

Okay, heading out. See you bozos there.

Great, I've got my directions printed out and I'm about ready to head off from work so I can make it to san jose before rush hour.

Matthew

Anything we should keep in mind when parking? Like, where not to park, etc. Don't want to piss off any neighbors.

No idea - I'm sure Nong will point out if you parked somewhere bad

SOoooooo... what did you guys see?!

We saw the (Censored) and the (Censored), and I demo'ed the (Censored) to the group. And we ate a lot and talked a lot.

I was glad to finally meet a few of the people from the Rio beta team after working with them remotely on the Karma. Quite cool.

Rad. I had heard those (Censored) might be there. Shoulda gone!
