at 7 pm, then move into the atrium in the Valley Life Sciences Building on the Berkeley Campus

According to the calendar on the door (I checked it last night), VLSB closes at 5 p.m. on March 12. Recall that last month the building was also closed when we tried to get in. We can go to the Free Speech Cafe as we did last month, but the indoor area is too small to fit us all, and the outdoor area is likely to be colder than it was during that unseasonably warm evening last month. Still, I think that that outdoor area would be the best choice. Just remember to bundle up!

If we really want to meet at VLSB sufficiently strongly and are that confident the door will be locked, we could get someone to camp out there and let everyone in. This strategy should actually work for any building on campus. Any Cal students have a pick for other buildings we could crash? Though I actually like outdoor spaces, so if that's where we end up I won't be unhappy. I wish I could get people to internalize the idea that the rules don't apply to them more generally. The rules stopped applying to me sometime around Spring of 2007.

We can also meet at my house, but more than 10-12 people can't really fit at all comfortably so was planning on having the after party at my place which will naturally filter away some people that don't want to stay out late.

I plan on being there likely with at least 2 people. Still Starbucks on Oxford?

That's where we'll meet at 7. The only difficulty is if you show up late.
