There are several LWers from the area currently attending Burning Man, which ends on the 6. If you move this back a week, I expect they'd love to attend.

I plan to be at 2224 Shattuck tomorrow at 7 PM, and unless I am gravely misinterpreting his reply to my PM, Lucas will, too.

But my being there tommorow does not decrease the probability that I will attend the second meeting -- even if it happens next weekend.

There is at least one person who prefers the second meeting to be on a weekend, so I will assume that it will indeed happen on a weekend.

On weekends, I have to leave the meeting around 9:30 to make the last bus across the Richmond--San Rafael bridge. Would anyone mind if the second Berkeley meeting starts earlier in the day? One of the meetups in Sunnyvale lasted over 8 hours since people got on a roll about Friendliness theory and did not want to stop.

Do you think they would be back by 7 PM on the 6th?

It's not very likely. If we pushed this forward a week there'd be a better chance of the burners showing up.

I'd prefer Sunday or Saturday (9/5 would work for me.)

I also suggest moving this back a week to the 12th, for the same reasons: generally more notice is better, and Burning Man will be over. The post is young, so there's still time for you to edit its title without much reader hiccup.
