If we're meeting at the Presidio, then BART is not a complete option, you'll have to take transit of some sort the last few miles up from Market St.

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.

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.

Hi everyone, Hope you don't mind me barging in in the group. Thank you for all the
efforts to come our way for a tv-shoot tomorrow. 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.

Onderwerp: Re: [Wikimedia-SF] When's the next meetup? The Public library system does have meeting rooms at theirbranches and the main library. This would require a dedicated effort to get it started, application and rules to review and submit. Most rooms are free unless there are special AV and food needs.
http://sfpl.org/librarylocations/mtgrms/rules.htm While its not enough time for tomorrow, this could be a topic ofdiscussion if folks were interested in getting a consistent, chatable and easy to get to meeting space that could be upgraded as AV needs require. I'm sure there are some fabulous places to dine in and around most of the branches, especially the main branch. We also might be able to get in on their events calendar for more exposure and who knows where that could lead eh?

Mediterranean sounds great! Brion and I are pretty muchup for anything. I imagine a price range would be in the $10-$15 for food and drink per person? We've been pretty homebound since I broke my foot in mid January.
Cary - maybe we can carpool it? Anyone a member of Mechanics' Institute Library <http://www.milibrary.org/index.html%3E ? I do believe that one of the benefits of membership is to have access to conference rooms for meetings. Not sure if there is a fee involved.
Do any of the public libraries offer meeting rooms forevents like this? I'll see what I can dig up on line for future reference.
So this is a sure thing? What time are we going to do it?
Thanks.
