Just trying my luck since it’s not really finalized yet. :)
I’ve missed about every blogger meetup this year because it clashes with something. :(

Sorry Larry, we would love to have you, obviously, but due to price and availability of location, Thursday seems to work best for us!! Try to come? I promise you a really enriching and engaging experience…

This sounds interesting, estee. I’ll try to come if I have no foreign visitors in town.
May 15th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Well, Thursday is almost the weekend right?
Which reminds me that I got to get VISA for that night…

Where is this geek terminal? I’d love to come, but I’m guessing this is Bay Area and I am a Seattleite.
