Location Alpine Inn, Portola Valley Just behind Palo Alto toward the ocean. Take the Alpine Road exit off 280 heading away from the flatlands for a few miles until you see Arastradero Rd on your left - and it's right on that corner. For lo these many moons - the flotsam, jetsam, bikers, movers, shakers, VC's and horsemen of the Bay Area have mooted at this historic location. Many a standard (ISO, ANSI, IEEE, RFC, et al) has been hammered out there on the carved up tabletops - lubricated by burgers and beer. We meet at the tables out the back door and to the right. (In case that wasn't clear, it's a BEER GARDEN. Has food too -- burgers, etc.) Location Maps: http://yp9.superpages.com/listings.phtml?SRC=&STYPE=S&PG=L&R=N&C=&N=alpine+inn&T=portola+valley&S=CA&search=Find+It&pow=0&rtd=yp10.superpages.com If you have questions, comments or last-minute agenda requests, please contact the meeting organizer/victim: Rodney Thayer rodney@tillerman.to +1 408 757 9693
