Sadly I can't make Natchitoches or NYC in 2008. Both are on my wish list. I will be in San Francisco for the second week of December as my wife is attending a conference. We (2 adults plus 2 young teens) are staying next to Fishermen's Wharf. That's about 7,000 miles each way for us. If some of the west coast folks can coordinate a get-together near there in that week, then I'd be thrilled to meet you all. We almost talk the same language. Well kinda sorta.

A bunch of us will descend on Natchtoches sometime between Dia de los Muertos and Gaudete Sunday, and we will also hold an event somewhere near the San Francisco Airport during 2008. There's a bunch of us who usually crash the NYLUG party in July; people who want to meet in NYC should just latch onto that, which is already organized and scheduled. It would be most righteous to refer to a meeting around here (greater suburban Palo Alto) as the Summer of LUG, but since it's almost always summer here that just means that we oughtn't hold it between II Advent and Michaelmas. Of course, we could do it in the real calendar summer. I think I could see holding a LUG dinner and/or barbecue at my house in Palo Alto in the summer. I've got room for a crowd. Couldn't match the food in Natchitoches by a country mile, but my neighbors do not scowl at those who relinquish the spot on the food chain so hard-won by their ancestors. I don't have meeting space, though. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
