Five Nights at Fluffy's (July 14-19, 2017)

LlamaFluff and I are hosting a meet this summer in California!

When:
July 14-19, 2017
Where:
Pleasanton, California

Ground Rules

  1. Do not give the meet address to anyone (yes,
    anyone
    ) who contacts you asking for it. Please refer them to either Equinox or LlamaFluff. We reserve the right to boot anyone who is not supposed to be at the meet.
  2. No smoking. Per the owners, please go outside if you want to smoke.
  3. No loud noise. Some drinking and music is okay as long as everyone is mindful of the Airbnb being in a residential area.
  4. Parking is limited to four vehicles. Let us know if you will be driving to the meet so we can plan accordingly.
Everyone should have received the address and other information.

Location


We will be staying at an Airbnb close to the Alameda County Fairgrounds. For current capacity and cost estimates, refer to this spreadsheet. Payment is being accepted via Venmo in advance or in person. Contact LlamaFluff for more information.

The closest airports are:
  • Oakland International Airport (OAK, 22.9 mi)
  • Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC, 27.2 mi)
  • San Francisco International Airport (SFO, 42.3 mi)
  • Sacramento International Airport (SMF, 97.1 mi)
Those flying into Sacramento on Friday may be able to get a carpool to the Airbnb location. Otherwise, the Airbnb is accessible via public transportation (one to two hours) from any of the other three airports. If you want to provide or request a carpool, then make a note in the thread and I will add you to the lists in this post.

For those arriving by bus or train, the Airbnb is within walking distance of Pleasanton Station. The easiest way to get there is by going to San Jose Diridon Station and then taking ACE Rail for $9.50.

Activities


A tentative itinerary can be found here.

Some people are bringing board and video games. A list of available games is below. If there is a game listed that you are interested in playing, then please request it from the person named to ensure that it will be at the meet.

    weird

  • Movies

Anything starting the last week of April or later I am essentially 100%... later in May (or beyond) is easier but it doesn't matter as much. If its going to be earlier I need to know earlier to schedule licensing exams as early as possible in the available range.

I'm interested, but I don't know what my ability to commit would be. I think April and May are both risky for me.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Count me potentially /interested for anything after April that is not Memorial day weekend (that's KublaCon!) or June 9-11. Molla is in charge of keeping me informed. :P

So how'd you land on Santa Cruz? Don't get me wrong, it's a great choice for me as it's a 45 minute drive and Santa Cruz is pretty nice, but just curious!

I don't know if I'll be able to make this
and
Kingsmeet (although it's very tempting for me to try given all the awesome people who'll be here), but just a note that you should probably pick dates that don't conflict for those who DO want to do both.

Anything after April works for me.
Most people seem to work better past may.
Maybe late July?

The halfway point between Los Angeles and San Francisco isn't too exciting unless you're into wine tasting.
