I didn't get there until about 10:15, but the place was still pretty dead. It picked up over time, though. I ended up hanging out with
During that whole process, I got Joe's number and email from
That bounced from him to Gary Walker, they've both talked it over, and Joe should be dropping off my access packet at the bar tomorrow night. It's nice when things work...

Now I need to clean up and head to Alameda...
