Bay Area Meet up

[Drealm]

We discussed a Bay Area meet up last meeting.

I think the proposed date was 3/17-3/21.

Allen can fly in. Peter can also fly in if available.

I suggest everyone from out of town pick the same hotel. fschmidt has specific hotel preferences so I suggest he finds something he likes and then everyone else books there too.

If anyone's unavailable on these dates please inform us.

As a personal note, I've been summoned for jury duty on the previous week. I will probably not be selected and even if I am the trial won't start immediately but if I am there's a possibility I'll have to do something for this in the proposed date range.

How often do these meetups occur? I'd be interested in going to a meetup at some point in the future, but I'd prefer to get a better sense of this group first, especially since I'm on the East Coast and plane tickets to the Bay Area are somewhat expensive.

I suppose this depends on what the itinerary will be.

In San Diego Peter found a mountain and we all made the declaration there. I can try finding something similar here. I know fschmidt has altitude sickness, so he'll need to advise how high is too high. If a mountain doesn't work we could also try a coastal location.

On days before and after the hike we can do whatever anyone else wants.

A thought is that people can crash at my place, but I'm not sure if my father would be okay with that and you would have to sleep on couch floor.

I think the main choice is between east bay and San Francisco. North bay and south bay are too far away. Between these two San Francisco is probably the better bet because it's more central.

We can discuss ideas in this week's meeting.

We fleshed out some details.

Thursday 3/17 Allen/fschmidt will arrive. Allen will arrive international, fschmidt will arrive domestic. I can park at SFO international terminal. We'll meet in our specified location. After that we can drive to Berkeley and you guys can check in.

Friday 3/18 we can do the hike in Berkeley.

Saturday 3/19 we can do whatever but during the evening check into a hotel near mennonite church.

Sunday 3/20 we go to mennonite church.

Monday 3/21 you guys fly back out.

[Drealm]

fschmidt you will find hotel for you and Allen in Berkeley.

Can you also find a hotel you like near the Church?

[Will]

I can join you guys on Saturday and Sunday. How about I drive up to Berkeley on Saturday and we head to the church hotel in my car?

Frank, you wanna stay one more day in South bay in my place after the church visit?

I bought my tickets last week and they are returning monday night.

Also, I tried contacting the Mennonite church in California but they have no phone number.  I will ask the Mennonites in Dallas what to do.

The jury case I was summoned for was dismissed, so there's no possible conflict now.

What is the male dress code for men in service? Would slacks and a shirt be okay

Great. I booked a hotel very close to my place so that you can sleep there.
