We're on for the 26th for sure. Just have to see if you room reservation is available or not.
Skwid, I'm sure we could do another one in LG. What date specifically are you going to be in Los Gatos?

Bressler -2
DavidN - 2

Eric White - 2 (maybe)
anyone else? kpak - is two correct? Eric?

As far as a theme.... this is my first VC offline (  ) so am not sure what to do. I am open to anything.

There's no way you could know -- its just that I think Bob has a lot of Aussies. Now if you bring a 1976 Grange, then I'll drive up to Napa!  | | | |
