RSVP List Shortcut
Tuesday Jan 24, 2012 is Last Day to Register!MacWorld San Francisco refuses to die. It's now MacWorld/iWorld. Even with the departure of Apple from the exhibit floor and keynote, the show will go on, and some subset of old internet nerds will show up, presumably to discuss the next rumored Apple phones and tablets. The show will be in Moscone West, so we'll meet at the base of the escalators at 5:00.
So, I am reluctantly proud to announce the by now traditional last Netters' Dinner 2012 will be there too. It will be on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at the Hunan on Broadway and Sansome.
If you want to come and hobknob with a bunch of Macintosh old timers in old Usenet/Arpanet/BBS fashion (technically the eating and drinking ritual is older than that, but we started this event in 1986...), register and pay right here. It's $20 for the same Hunan buffet, which has always been requested to be hot and spicy. We'll also have some vegitarian dishes for people who want to sign up in advance for them.
I am still in CA so I will definitely be attending this year. Nevertheless the regulars will be on hand, as well as many other aging geeks.
You can register via credit card up to the 24th of January.
Cancellations need to be in by these dates too or you will be charged full price. We typically suffer from a 10% no-show rate, so a few people will probably be able to show up and pay at the door, but don't count on it.
The Kagi Registration Web Page has online forms where you can do everything you need to sign up.
The list of people who have RSVPed is here.
Ilene Hoffman still has the Hess Memorial Party List up.
Advertising: If you would like to donate T shirts, toy phasers, plastic communicators or anything else you can think of, we'd love to accept it. Netters' love free stuff and we even like corporate logos on it. Plus, stuff reminds us about the event years later. Remember when Intercon made us T shirts back in 1997? Google gave us GoogleEarth notepads in 2006 and numerous people have donated a couple of product offerings for our survey/"contest".
