I read the book and enjoyed it very much, I'm going to try to make it, but if I do, you all are going to learn my secret identity, "Guy in Suit"

it's pretty funny, there are people that have never seen me in a suit, and there are people that always see me in a suit, and when they meet, neither believes the other...

[Jasper]

Well now you have to make it!

[Rob, Roberator]

I missed you when I visited in August, but now I want to come see secret identity Bob anyways..

[Christopher]

Going to be there. Anyone coming in on BART willing to meet up and Hel me find my way over?

[Fresno Bob]

For me, Veronica had the quote of the night, "Joe, I don't think I've ever seen you with pants on before...."

When is the next meeting, the monday after thanksgiving? My prediction is "No Pants!"

I'd have to start a Patreon for it first, just too lazy. ;)

[Veronica, Supreme Sword]

Hey guys,

Would moving it to Tuesday be ok? I'm not available on Monday the 30th (and neither is Josh) but Tuesday works for me at least. Thoughts?

[Fresno Bob]

Ill be more sober on tuesday!

[James]

I can do Tuesday.

[Jasper]

[Jlawrence, S&L Moderator]

If anyone is staying in the area and wants to do a rouge meet up, I'm in. Same time, same place?

[Jasper]

Wish I could! Going to be out of town.

[Fresno Bob]

Don't forget to re-up (or sign up like me!) for your Borderlands sponsorship. I told Alan I'd do a Sponsor Blind Wine Tasting this year, and we are trying to determine when.....

[Christopher]

Not going to be able to make the meetups anymore. I had to move out of the bay to find a place I could offord. Still it was nice meeting you all and I hope i can make it back for a meetup or two in the future.

[Jasper]

where'd you move to Chris?

[Christopher]

Moved to Sacramento

[Andrew]

I've enjoyed having your contribution to the group, Chris :-) I hope you can make it sometimes.

[Fresno Bob]

[Jlawrence, S&L Moderator]

Thanks, Bob! Adding that to my calendar.

Also added to my calendar - the Feb meetup on Mon the 22nd!

Good! You were missed, but we'll see you Friday!

[Jlawrence, S&L Moderator]

I renewed my sponsorship last night, just in time to drink wine with y'all.

[Jlawrence, S&L Moderator]

Hey those of you going to the Borderlands sponsors wine-tasting Fri night, do you want to meet for dinner close to the store beforehand?

[Fresno Bob]

Good idea to eat something, but Ill be setting up before. Glad you are coming

[Stacia]

I'm in for dinner!

OK! Veronica (who can dine with us beforehand, too) suggests Pi Bar for their fabulous pizza (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pi-bar-san-fr...).

6:30 work? (or 6 to guarantee eating/walking to Borderlands time?)

Sound good! Maybe 6-ish would be better because it's Friday and they might be busy? Up for whatever though.
