Fight my brute!
I'm definitely considering going.
It's been an odd year, but it would be a ton of fun to hang out with you guys again, even if it is just for one weekend in October.
I would love to go but can't 
(unless someone buys me a airplane ticket)
I know a few people said they would save me a seat at the justice table.
I've become one with the Cake!
If I can find some way to make it down to CA for a weekend, can I sleep on someone's couch?

What? You were expecting Milpitas or Santa Clara again?
Or Campbell, Cupertino, Fremont, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Santa Clara, or Sunnyvale???
Why mention Santa Clara twice Red? Does that particular city hold some special place in your heart?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I will be there. 
Looking forward to it very much.
And I'm totally up for Japanese again!

I dunno. Is that what folks want? I sort of didn't want to repeat myself, but if that's what folks would REALLY like to do, I think I can find a way to deal with it.
Alternatives:
I had dinner at Frankie, Johnnie, & Luigi's last night & saw their family-style menu which looked pretty good. I've also had some good-sized groups at Buca di Beppo that went well. Of course, Italian food can be had most places, and I imagine everybody has a favorite that these won't match up with. But, I think the food's pretty good at either place & I think they could accomdate a similar sized herd to the last one we managed.
There's also a Mexican place I'm partial to that I think folks might like. No idea if they do family-style, but don't really care as long as I get my favorite... 
They have a store front in Palo Alto that has this nifty wall-o-tequila behind the bar, but they don't take reservations & parking in Palo Alto is teh suck. Instead, I'd suggest folks trek to the sister restaurant in Mountain View where the parking is more plentiful.
That's just stuff that I've already been thinking about. I could look into other places if people have requests for other kinds of cuisine. There are more Indian places than you can shake a stick at in the nearby area, and there are a fair number of Thai places too. Of course, given that a number of people wanted to stick with foods they were more familiar with, I thought I'd try to be more accomodating this time around.
Oh... I'm also going to say that anything I suggest is likely NOT going to be close to any hotels that Niv & crew may set up arrangements with. Apologies to those who might be driving in the day we decide to do this gathering, but I like to think the food will be worth it. I'm pretty gol-darned sure you'll find the company to be top-notch!
I'd claim inside knowledge, or psychic premonitions, but the truth is, I was so busy trying to be funny, I lost track.
If I can find another job between now and then, yes, Bloodspeaker and I will be there.
*sigh*
Anyone know of a place that's hiring technical writers?
