yup. maybe we can meet a little earlier to allow a bit more time for this or
push the "open" time to a bit later?

Remembering Gyugi's creations, I kinda like having folks be "free and freaky"
(to use a Doonesbury-like Zonker phrase :) to bring their own stuff unless we
kinda decide ahead of time. I'd like to have a "space base" section this time
around, perhaps a whole table, though I'm not lobbying that the entire meeting
be space-themed.

Couldn't hurt.. Thanks for collecting these!

I'll try and look around in the middle east bay a little. That Fukaya Room is
definitely a standard to shoot for.

Yes. Mark is da man!

What's involved in hosting? Just arranging for the room and knowing where
there's a nearby Burger King? ;)

Maybe that can be an early/mid November GTG! Since you'll be farther along
maybe that can be a train-themed meeting.
