Intent to Party like its 1999

[Chris Waters]

Disclaimer: I live in San Jose.  :-)

But still, if this is supposed to be a post-Linuxworld gettogether,
wouldn't it make the most sense to have it *near* Linuxworld? 
Convenient for people visiting the area for Linuxworld and staying in
nearby {h,m}otels, convenient for people attending Linuxworld from
around the bay.  Inconvenient only for those who aren't going to
Linuxworld and aren't nearby.

If this *isn't* really supposed to be a post-Linuxworld gettogether (I'm
a little confused, since I think this thread started with a mention of
the *IRC* party), then maybe Oakland or SF would be reasonable.  But in
that case, I'd like to propose that we have one or more post-Linuxworld
gettogethers near Linuxworld.  The south bay has plenty of nice spots. 
Do we want coffee, bheer, or bhoth?

Traffic is another issue, and one that would tend to suggest that we not
go too far from the convention center till later, i.e. *after* the
gettogether when we're heading toward home (or temporary equivalent). 
Bay area traffic is extremely bad, if not world-class bad quite yet
