It was raining pretty hard last time we met up; didn't stop us then. But they did say it will rain pretty hard. I usually take BART when I go to these events, and I suggest those of you who try to cross the Bay Bridge to do so as well, since you won't have to worry about the winds and such. Just make sure you bring a good umbrella though.

The $64,000 question is whether we can do an event tomorrow midday without getting rained on severely...

Weather usually doesn't factor that significantly into planning here, but the storm coming in on Saturday is predicted to be strong enough to somewhat disrupt travel.

For our director Ice van Veelen I was already trying to get into SFPL but there are heavy filming restrictions. I have now asked Sherri Eng of Library PR if the Meetings Rooms are a possibility. Will let you know as soon as I hear back from her.

So this is a sure thing?  What time are we going to do it?
