San Francisco Bay Area/Silicon Valley listmembers and list-lurkers, your
attention, please!!!
This is a formal reminder about the Sunday brunch we've been threatening
to have out here. :D We need to start making some decisions. Granted,
we have Labor Day coming up (we should do it in September after Labor
Day), but the time's here to start seriously thinking about where and
when we're going to have our Sunday brunch. The first week of August
has now come and gone. It's voting time!! Let's pick a Sunday and a
restaurant!
Suggestions for where to hold the Sunday brunch currently include the
following:
East Bay Locations
===============
* El Torito or Old Spaghetti Factory, Jack London Square, Oakland
* Chevys, Hayward at Bay Fair BART
San Francisco Locations
==================
* Marriott Hotel, 4th & Market (Montgomery Street BART)
* Chevys on 4th, across from Moscone Center
* Tuba Garden on Sacramento Street
Silicon Valley Locations
==================
* Coco's, Lawrence & Oakmead Parkways, Sunnyvale
* Harry's Hofbrau, Saratoga & Kiely in Santa Clara OR the one on El
Camino Real, Mountain View

estuary and quite a few manicured backyards of the richer folks in the
Bay Area

approach to San Mateo Bridge
Other Items To Note
===============

meeting!!! :D :D :D
