I second the inebriation for Saturday, since we’re going to have to be civilized at the play. ---

Has there ever been a question of inebriation? Come on people, it’s **tradition**! You can’t mess with that! 😉 ---

As the spokesperson for the Nor-Cal SD cult, you must fill us newbies in on the traditions… Poor me, totally Clueless 🙂 -Sam ---

I like it. I _really_ like it! Unfortunately, the traditions don’t involve much _more_ than the ritual of inebriation. Oh yes, and one other thing: Pictures…lots of eviden…I mean, pictures… 😉 ---

Oh and pics and things. ---

OK people, a couple of us in chat right now were wondering, what restaurant are we meeting at? I know Puerto Alegre was mentioned, but it didn’t seem like it got the Official OK by everyone. Anyway, some people are still unsure as to the final plans. Also, for the mountain play, if you’re wondering about tickets and all that, here’s some additional info I got back over email today: > [@](#): > > Barry, > > It’s hard to imagine it taking ten days for tickets to get from Mill Valley to Monterey…we send orders out the day we receive them so as long as the US Postal service is doing their job (always a big question)it should only take 3-4 days. However, you may also call us to place an order over the phone with a credit card and yes, there will most likely be tickets for sale at the gate. We always have people showing up that have extra tickets to sell and at this point, it doesn’t look like the 3rd and 4th will be sold out performances so come on up! > > Kristin In other words, if they dont think it should take 10 days to get all the way down here to Monterey (I’m probably the furthest away), then it probably wouldnt take 10 days to get the tickets to people in the bay area. And, it probably wont be sold out that day, so, you can mos likely get tix at the gate, like Kristin says. ---

By a very happy coincidence, if the date is still June 3/4 I will be there. I’m flying into S.F. for the Java One Conference that week – should arrive Saturday afternoon although travel plans aren’t finalized yet. I’ll try to come early enough to meet at 4:00. I can be there Saturday but not Sunday. I’ll e-mail Democritus on Tuesday from work. (I should do that, right?) Also I have to warn you that I am a teetotaler. If the inebriation levels get alarming I may have to excuse myself. Worse yet, I’ll stay and take careful notes!! But I’ll be happy to be a designated driver for anyone who needs one. ---
