Well, Dale and I started that attempt (or maybe you are talking about
another event), and I think it worked like shit.  We all met in this lovely
bar in the hotel (flower room of the westin-bonaventura), and oh, a
hundred people came.  We absolutely ruined the bar's idea of a lovely happy
hour, and although they took some orders, they never delivered ANY drinks.

So, the idea certainly can work, but pick a place that can survive a
crowd whose size is unbounded large (and the members of which don't
necessarily "get out much," if you catch my drift).  Your favorite
italian restaraunt probably isn't the move (at least don't use *my* favorite
italian restaraunt).

PS: Were you there, Sext-maniac?  I'm still holding a great one-liner
that I've been saving for you for over a year.  Maybe next DevCon, eh?
