So, please join us on Tuesday September 15th 1998 for an outstanding banquet style dinner with subsequent meeting to be held at the venerable Four Seas Restaurant in the heart of San Francisco's historic Chinatown. Four Seas Restaurant 731 Grant Street San Francisco, California 94108 The Four Seas will host us in the upstairs banquet room, seating is limited to 300 to please make your reservations early. A note to balr...@balug.org will assure your seat at this gala event! As usual, libation is available and with enough reservations we can get the banquet room bar opened. The banquet room is accessed from a staircase at the rear of the restaurant lounge. (look for the Linux User Group sign- it may be in chinese) Dinner is $10.00 per person, if you choose not to dine with us, a small donation to help cover meeting costs is appreciated. We start promptly at 7:00 PM, doors open at 6:30. Directions With enough parking karma you should be able to find street parking in the area. Otherwise we recommend parking at the city garage located at Kearny and Commercial- directly across from the Chinatown Holiday Inn. Traffic into the city during rush hour has been unusually heavy. If you are coming up from the south bay we recommend 101 to Civic Center (stay on the right), bear left off the exit and bear left at Market Street. Then take Van Ness (N) to Broadway and make a Right. Go through the Broadway Tunnel to Columbus, make a Right on Columbus, go about four blocks and make a Right to Kearny, Right ON Kearny and a left into the garage just past commercial. Information Network connections will be available through our Ricochet gateway and we encourage you to bring your friends, family, notebooks, questions, power strips, network hubs and appetites. In addition to being a fun, creative and knowledgeable group, the dinner alone is easily the best chow deal in the city. Speakers, door prizes and other additional late breaking stuff can be found at http://www.balug.org. RSVP and questions to balr...@balug.org Here... There... Rick Moen is Everywhere -> abracadabra <-
