Close... but not quite.  He could roll his tongue... and I really liked that.

Although French looking I'm not French (or Freedom as we call it nowadays)..

But, I can see why MicroD can be jelous...

Must be the way Funkie was looking at me when we had a dinner at Hungry Hunter.

Sounds like two of my guys are going. I just posted this thread to my squad. We have several in CA, including myself. Not sure if I can go, but I think it would work.

We also have two squadies that live in Salinas (Vaderr and TeeeRex) so most of us dogs would be there. :)

I'd make an appearance... the airshow sounds like a great idea.

It's certainly a possibility for this Mongrel.  Though I'm in San Diego, my in-laws are in San Fran so that would make it feasible.

I can make it. I was planning on going there anyways. I believe that TeeeRex was also planning it as well.

Hey that's great guys, glad to see the response.  I did some research and there are a lot of hotels in the San Jose area which have suitable facilities with T-1 or better lines in the conference rooms.  And I have found some room rates which were better than my estimate of $100, more like $75.

Right now I am getting some bids for a 30 person event.  When I get some cost numbers for the conference room and I will post them here and see what people think.  

If I need help it will probably be in the following areas:
1.  Network cabling and hardware (routers?) setup.
2.  Airport transportation.
3.  Airshow ticket group buy  & transportation.
4.  T-shirts, baseball caps, registration badges, etc.

Most likely I can make it.  However, if I do, I won't be bringing a computer.  Not sure if you need to know this just yet, but that's one less station needed.

I will be happy to make a couple of SJC-Hotel trips, but SOB would have to sit next to me. I would not feel comfortable to have him behind me :)
