bay area zaurus meeting?

Do we want to plan a meeting sometime end of this month? Pick a restaurant or something, and have a bunch of local Zaurus users get together?

That sounds good, and the wifi part is an excellent idea. Having open wireless nearby should probably only eliminate about 1% of restaurant locations in the sf area

OK... so after doing a quick search, I found an actual restaurant that offers free wifi.  So we can sit and eat, talk and surf, etc.

We have about 16 members in the SF ZUG, so let\'s see if we can get a good turn out.  If you plan on attending the group meeting, please post a note here.  I will be making table reservations, so I want to make sure we have enough space for all.  The location is good, easy access via public transportation, easy parking if you\'re driving, etc.

Here are the details:
    Wednesday, February 25th @ 7pm
    Venture Frogs Restaurant
    1000 Van Ness, at O\'Farrell
    here\'s a
link to their site

    Mmmmmm! Goooooodies.

    Doh! Doh! Doh! I can\'t make it :-(

    I was hoping to drum up some interest in my audio cd database application that I had on the go (carry a searchable database on the Z). Oh well, maybe next time.

    Yes, it\'s still happening.  I received one email offline from Steven saying that he would be going... so it looks like there are only 3 confirmed so far.

    I can not tell for sure if I will make it. Will see...

    But just in case, how do I recognize you guys in the restaurant (maybe the table loaded with Z\'s)?

    I\'m going to have a big sign at the table saying \"geek fest\" and a bunch of balloons... just kidding.

    If the restaurant has a host/hostess, then just ask for the zaurus group, otherwise just look around for the table with a few zaurus\' on it.. I\'ll at least have my 5500 and 760 with me.

    oh yeah.. the reservation is under \"Michael\"

    Yes, still the same as I posted above.  I\'ve reserved a table of 5, but I can increase that at any point.  I better start gathering up my goodies... maybe I\'ll make a run to Frye\'s before the meeting.

    Well the weather today kinda sucks, but I\'m hoping that by later today the thunderstorms and wind will die down, and it will just be rain.

    So the question for everyone is... do we:

    (a) continue as scheduled and meet at 7pm at Venture Frogs
      or
    ( postpone the meeting until next week (hoping for better weather)

    I would vote for keeping the meeting tonight, but I\'ll leave it up to majority.
