Bup creator to give present Apr 9 at 2:30 PM in SF

[Tony Godshall]

OK, this is the real announcement.  Sorry about the last couple.


Hi again

I've scheduled Avery's presentation[1] for Saturday April 9 at 2:30pm in my
livingroom, a stone's throw from Grace Cathedral in SF.  Those who RSVP
will get the precise address and directions.  It's a mile from the Embarcadero
BART/SF Muni rail station and 1.9 miles from Caltrain with electric bus access
from both.  Parking can be had, for a price, at various local garages.

If plan to come at that time, please RSVP tony at godshall.org or togo at of.net
with subject "bup SF" and you'll receive the specific address and more details
on how to get here.

Please feel free to pass the details above to anyone you think might
be interested.

Best Regards

Tony
