Sorry, no reservations for meetings; earlier you show up, the better your
odds of getting a seat.

Normally at meetings there's a chance for other announcements, especially if
somebody's given me a hint in email that they'd like to announce something.

I have *no* idea how crowded Tuesday's meeting will be.  I figure it could
be anywhere from half our usual turnout (because it's on the wrong night) to
over twice our previous record turnout (Tim O'Reilly), so that's fifteen to
one hundred twenty.

If we're lucky, we can seat 50 in that room; if we get too full it might be
standing room only or we might have people standing around outside staring
in through the windows.  Also, we'll probably be able to go into the
kitchen, too, which is similarly sized.

And, of course, Augie's GPG presentation the night before will give you a
less crowded venue for an announcement.

hmmm...  none of those are maps, I suppose...  They've got the address and
there's always mapquest.
