3DBC Tuesday Evening Meetup

Pete, you can come to Chili's straight from the airport!
BTW - which hotel are you going to stay? -
I am at the Grand.
-
Fine, mee too. And Jean and Susan and Coen as well. See some directions here.
-
John,
As far as I know Avante has (a free?) transfer from San José.
-
That is not what they told me when I called them. They only gave me a referral to a taxi service they recommend.

Mr. Clements
The car service we use frequently is RJ Travel, and their number is 408-483-1313. They can also be reached by 866-470-9120. Their email address is rjtravels1313@yahoo.com. He has both towncars and taxis available, and the negotioated rate with the hotel to/from San Jose Airport is $35. Just mention my name and Hotel Avante when booking with him. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hotel Avante -
Hm. Maybe I saw it on the Grand Hotel website?
-
Must have as I was told that there is a free shuttle from airport to Grand
-
My Alaska Airlines, Flight 2627, arrives at San Jose around 11:35-12:00(noon) on Tuesday. I suspect it will be around 1:00 before arriving at the Hotel Avante.
Anyone with a car be around by then to make an Airport run?
I'll pay for the gas, lunch, and beer/wine?My work number 503-977-6664 or 503-244-7005. Home 503-645-9368

http://www.BrownandCaldwell.comHey, Chris Fulmer, like to talk to you. I thought you were in Southern California. Our headoffice is in Walnut Creek.
-
But that's only because you will present there I guess.
-
I arrive in San Jose at 1:00 pm on Tuesday so I should be at the Hotel by 2 or so. Diner at Chili sounds great. Is there anything going on later in the afternoon Maybe at the hotel lobby we'll run into each other.
-
I'll be out of pocket for most of the afternoon on Tuesday - maybe getting to my Hotel (Grand) around 5-ish.
-
I'll be arriving at SF around 1:30 PM, and I'll take one of the airport shuttle services to the Avante. I'll probably be in the Avante lobby around 6:00 or so, if anyone wants to share a taxi to Chili's with me.
-
Lewis, I should be registered well before then at the Avante. Ross McIntosh may be in by then too. Check with the front desk, leave a message if need be with your room#.
I'll try "linger in the lobby" around 6:00.
Regards, John Clements

In case anyone checks this before they meet, I am planning on joining up with everyone. I think I will get to the hotel in time to check in and get ready for dinner. My wife and kids are driving me down, so they will give me a ride to the hotel. I might even have room for 1 (small person squished between 2 car seats) in the car if there are any stragglers out there looking for a ride. At any rate, I'll be at the hotel or at chilis. See you then!

i forgot, when and where is base camp? i live near by (ie: in CA) so i can just drive up and meet you guys there. it should be fun.
*edit: stoops! i just read the basecamp site and turns out that
A) you need an invitation and sign ups closed
B) you need to be 18 or older, so that imediatly disqualifys me. so sad... -
The diner at Chillis was very good. It's great to finally meet the people I've communicated with on the forums for so long. The show and tell with Justin was very cool.
-
There was also Brian Woodward at Chillis.
As to Csaba, it really isn't like jabba the Hut.
The "a" is pronounced closer to the "o" in "on". CHOBBA. With the accent on the first syllable.
or better yet like "au" in aurelian. CHAUBBA
