Hi all,
The plan remains to gather in or near the bar on floor 0 which is near the check in desk. There will likely be people gathered there starting at 4:00 for sure, and perhaps earlier.
There is another bar on the 1st floor, so if you don't see us there, you might check up one floor.
For those that are new, please make an effort to find us. We would very much like to include all of the new folks tomorrow, but we rely on you to hunt us down and introduce yourself.
We briefly discussed the traditions for dinner on Friday night. We have the first tradition of getting ready to go, only to have one more person arrive, and then we wait for them to drop their bags and change, and while waiting, one more person arrives...
We have the other tradition of trying to eat with a huge group and havve that dissolve into chaos. I think we're going to try radical social experiments to mitigate that problem tomorrow night. Since I didn't want to write the keynote, that falls to me. Hopefully future, non jetlagged, Jeremy will come up with something clever.
But we will try to make a point of sending an email to this list when any plan is declared. The hope is that everyone can be included in the general merriment tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jeremy
