Greetings!

A bunch of as are planning on invading San Francisco - and Linden Lab - in what has turned into an unofficial, unplanned kind of SL convention this summer!

So far confirmed are myself, the lovely Jennyfur, Munchflower Zaius, Hiro Pendragon (and his much, much better half), Valadeza Anubus, and Adam Zaius (from out of town). Nearby folks like Talila Liu, Green Fate and Baba Yamamoto (I'm sure I'm forgetting some, too) have said they'll try to pop in as well!

We also have a lot of "might show ups" - Maxx Monde, Cristiano, Chosen Few, and a ton of others!

So... if you've ever wanted the chance to slap me in person... here's your chance! Some people are arriving on the 21st, others on the 22nd. Some are staying past the 24th as well. So come if you can! We'll post hotel information here once we decide which hotel we're staying in. Late night drunkening is much easier if you're all in the same hotel, after all! Many Lindens are aware of our planned invasion, so be prepared for some resistance, which I'm sure alcohol will take care of!

Regards,

-Flip

I'd go but I've got a rash on my left wing.

Or realitywise, simply because I don't have the cash to support such a venture. :(

Aw shucks, I'm going to be out there but not til August. Maybe I'll just swing by at night solo and leave some "Free Pathfinder" graffiti.

awwwww man, if you had planned for July 29-31 we could have hit the Gilroy Garlic Festival (just South of SF) as well.

Put me in as tentative. The lure of seeing Flip in vinyl hotpants may just be too delicious to pass up. :D

That sounds reallyreallyreally cool. For some reason I keep thinking if I met some Lindens in person, they'd appear like their oddball, "classic" (as some haven't changed for years, I reckon) avatars... LOL... but I'm sure all in all, they are digital manifestations of great people. Still, the imagination does wonder.

Is there still a whiteboard up to sign or stuff? I think it should be sprayed with some sort of protective coating (if not already) so signatures and blurbs don't get wiped out.

Torley, I believe Maxx Monde is having a 0.5x0.5x0.5 plywood prim constructed for people to sign. The it'd just need the old llTargetOmega() "rotation script" and we'd be REALLY set!

Nala and I will try to make it up there. I'm at work right now so can't make the meeting but keep us updated on hotels and whatnot.

Cheers,

Trinnie

I want to go!!

I probably won't be able to ... unless for some reason I was making more money by then ... :(

But that would be awesome. I'd just need to drive up there.

Just drive up for the party Friday night if nothing else! (the top secret party that nobody knows about)

I've see hotels in San Fran for 1 night for as cheap at $80. Split it with someone! :-)

I'll be your sponsor. I was saving this money for some starving kids in Africa, but hey, think global, act local!
