That's the idea :D

I don't know my schedule yet, I'm going there to get briefed on a new product. So I don't know when I'll be in meetings and when not yet.

If someone wants to pick me up at the hotel we can meet or something.

I'll have more info about what days i'll be there later this month.

Hey Brent-

If you wanna come see San Francisco while your here (which you should IMHO, San Jose and Santa Clara just aren't that interesting) I'd be more than happy to give you a little tour.

wtf, 17 and your parents don't let you go and meet people?

You wouldn't be a drag man, you can still go into bars, just can't drink, but they do have water and stuff.

Thanks for the re-direct, Brent :)

Hopeful - most bars and clubs in the City (SF) will not let you in under 21. May be different in the burbs (lame poke at South-bay'ers :) )

Anyway - there's lots of cool stuff to do here besides alcohol - uppers, downers, all-arounders j/k

It is a really cool city - some of the best restaurants in the country.

CyberSkye and LittleTechgirl are down - as long as it isn't the 3-March thru the 8th - hope schedules work out.

I hope its before the 21st. I am going backout on tour under contract for Nvidia then for 8 weeks. Who knows, given the timing, maybe I'll be at the same product release as you, depending on what were taking out.
