This is right down the street from where I live. It's past the "RSVP by" date though; I think I can talk my way into it. Anyone else interested in going?

Sorry about not getting back to you sooner (been busy). I propose that we meet at that Thai restaurant that's next door to "King of Siam" (closed for renovations). The 100 block of Castro Street, by the VTA and Caltrain station.

I'll give you a call… either now, or tomorrow when I wake up.

The other Thai place right next door to here:

It's about 1.5 miles away from the Computer History Museum:

did we we want to try and meet before the event and miss part of the reception or meet at the event for the reception and do dinner afterwards?
