ANNOUNCEMENT: BAD meeting 6:30/7p-~9p Wed. Henry's Hunan (Natoma), S.F. 2004-04-14

[Michael Cheselka]

I would like to find a ride-share to this event.
I'm in the South Bay( Milpitas) and can meet up
anywhere from San Jose to Mountain View to Fremont.
I would likely need to be dropped off in Milpitas
afterwards.

> San Francisco, CA  94105-3704
> 1-415-546-4999

> What:
> In addition to very good food (if unsure, peek at some reviews,

> ask some of the LUGOD folks that went there from LinuxWorld last

> media, $2.00 USD each for ~cost recovery) similar to before:

> Henry's Hunan serves until 9:00 P.M. weekdays.
> 
> Cost:
> Not including any alcoholic beverages, typical per-person dinner
> cost
> there is generally roughly $12.00 - $15.00 USD - at least in my
> recollection/estimation (and including taxes and tip).  If folks
> don't

> to

> 
> Hopefully this at least well meets the "SHOTGUN RULES" - at least
> binding (rule) parts.

> Random:

> I highly endorse Henry's Hunan's food - very good, reasonably priced

> mostly a
> "lunchtime crowd" spot, so it's typically not very crowded in
> evenings
> and on weekends (but it's packed during typically weekday lunch
> hours).
