If anyone wants to meet up for coffee this coming Saturday Nov 10th, I'll be at La Boulange at the corner of High Street and University Ave (151 University Ave) in Palo Alto at 10:00am.

I'll wear a blue Notre Dame baseball cap with "ND" on the front.

I should have moved down to the other end of the table to talk to Leo and PK. Hopefully we can do that again sometime. Got a copy of the book AND a bumper sticker. WOOOO HOOOO!

Except maybe that lady with the macbook that showed up towards the end (not your wife pkennedy, I mean at the other end of the table :)). She looked the part and could have been a NAR spy :) But were there only 8 pairs of feet, I thought there were 9 of us??

Nah, Patrick must have been using a soft-lens. The shoes were not that clean. At least one person rode a bike there, and some of the others were city dwellers.

Yeah, it was hard to hear what was going on at the other end of the table. I would be up for meeting again, but with the holidays coming up I might find it difficult to find the time until after the new year. If you set another meeting up again before then I will try to make it.

I think there is a library near there that might have a little conference room we can use. I know the Belmont library has conference rooms.
