Default Nordyke Dinner Attendance

All,

We're pulling together a post Nordyke oral argument event. Likely details:

Thursday 1/15/09 at 6PM or 7PM.
In San Francisco - walking distance from Civic Center BART and the Courthouse.
We'll open the doors an hour or so after the argument.
Dinner (steak or fish) and a cash bar.
Replay audio/video of the argument optionally.
Special Guests: Don Kilmer, Don Kates, Dave Hardy, and potentially more.
$50ish per head - profits to The Calguns Foundation.

What I need to know is if you will attend dinner so I can plan for the size of the room.

I'll be there, although $50-ish is a bit hard on my thin wallet. I'll just be frugal for the next couple of weeks.

We're likely to hold this at a hotel in a ballroom so food will be standard hotel fare.

Yes. On this I just didn't want to figure out how to haul 50 Calgunners and 7-10 VIPs to the Peninsula when we could just walk...

Yes. It's an open invite thing. We had about 20% spouses at the BWO/Milpitas celebration.

Looking forward to it. I loved Izzy's but I spend too damn much time on the peninsula (for work) as it is. Much prefer to socialize in the city.

I voted yes, and will try to take 2 days off (the day prior so I could sleep that night) because I yawn an awful lot during the day, and I would be frowned by the Judges. Will there be a non-beef option?

I might be able to make it, but if I change employers I am not sure. So please keep me tentative.
