Any plans for a meet-up in February? I’ll be home visiting from Jan 30- Feb 20, and thought it might be fun to make it to another 'fest, the last time being five or so years ago. Somewhere close to PT, or perhaps even the East Bay?

I’m up for it and there’s a decent-sized SF/Bay Area contingent. I wouldn’t mind something east bay, personally. Easier parking, that’s for sure.

I might be up for it. I’ll be in the city every weekend for the next 4 weeks, so I can definitely meet up for a couple of beers or so.

What is PT?

If the North Bay is an option, it’d definitely be worth it to head up this way to check out [Russian River Brewing](http://www.russianriverbrewing.com/pages/about.html) since you seem to be a beer lover. If not, I’d be happy to bring you a growler of something, assuming they have it on tap.

And I might as well throw this out here as well - Superbowl Sunday - my husband and I are having a little get together. Beer, snacks, HDTV. If anyone is interested, PM me. I’ll send you info and directions.

Sorry, PT=public transit. And from what I’ve seen you write about RRBC, that might not be a bad idea…  
Perhaps the first weekend of Feb?

Ohh, public transportation. :smack: Sorry, I was thinking of a city or town name and kept drawing a blank! 😉

Well, you are the guest of honor here, so to speak, so you make the call. Tell us when and where to show up and we’ll try to make it.

Getting up this way is kind of a bitch, you really need a car.

I’m free to meet up any time after 6 PM or so on Friday, Feb 1-- East Bay, North Bay, SF, all good with me.

I can meet up before 7 PM and after 11 PM or so on Saturday Feb 2 in SF. (I’ll be at a Social Distortion show at The Fillmore most of the evening.)

And you are more than welcome to head up our way on Superbowl Sunday, Feb. 3.

I’d definitely be interested, but I’ve flaked out too much before in regards to Dopefests, so no guarantees here 😛
