Awesome SF!!! Look forward to meeting you!!
I plan to have a STORM2K sign of some sort and at a minimum will have my S2K cap on too. We will meet just inside the front doors before the registration tables. Let's all plan to be there by 10am. It is possible to register online so I would suggest that for ease of getting through any lines. There is a link to the Workshop site in the first post of this thread.
Looking forward to a large group!!

FYI, some of the same people that post here are on the Khou board as well...
For example, I'm Rip76 on that board.

Some of the others use the same name on both...

I am familiar with it since I went last year. The entrance should be just about in the middle of the GRB. It was last year. I have completed a STORM2K sign which is bright pink with our name and two hurricane symbols on it which I will be holding just inside the front doors before you get to the registration tables. Try and register online if you are going so all you have to do is show then your "ticket". BTW, the parking is probably going to be $10 on any of the surface lots by the convention center so plan for that too. Hopefully at least some of us can get together afterwards. There are plenty of places to eat downtown.

I won't be going inside as I will be biking there. If some are planning to eat lunch across the street at the Lake House on Discovery Green at 11am then I will bike by Will be on a reddish-orange and yellow Klein mountain bike wearing a red sleeveless jersey. Wife may be with me.

Do we need to make reservations at the restaurant? If so we need a definite number of those who will be eating lunch.
