If the Cypherpunks schedule their January '94 meeting on the 2nd Saturday, Jan 8, that will conflict with a party announced by visiting Exi fireman Harry (Hawk) Shapiro. Harry said:
As I announced a month or so ago, I am holding a party on Jan 8, at the Shearaton Palace Hotel in San Fran.
Jan 8th is the last day of MacWorld. Hopefully a group of us will meet for dinner arround 6pm. The party will start about 8 or 8:30.
As I doubt either Harry or MacWorld will change their schedules for our benefit, I suggest the Cypherpunks consider (and announce with plenty of lead time) changing theirs to the Saturday after (Jan 15) (The Saturday before is New Year's day).
Actually, there were plans to move the CyPunks meeting to Sat, Jan 15 anyway, since Jan 8th already conflicts with something else (Usenix? something Unix-y). Of course, the 15th is when the ExI-BATF (Extropy Institute - Bay Area Transhumanist/Task Force, for the extropianly-impaired) meeting would normally be held. I think we can ask Dave Krieger to put this off one week to the 22nd. If so, then I'll be happy. What d'ya say Dave? _______________________________________________________________________ Geoff Dale -- insert standard disclaimers here -- Plastic Beethoven plaz@netcom.com ExI-Freegate Virtual Branch Head plaz@io.com 66 Pyramid Plaza Cypherpunk/Extropian Freegate, Metaverse@io.com 7777 "Once you've gone plastic, you can never go back."
