Macworld Expo 2005 update and plans... Site News
The 2005 San Francisco Macworld Expo is quickly approaching, and once again, yours truly will be there -- for the first time as both an attendee and a speaker. I'm giving a Best of Mac OS X Hints presentation at the Users Conference (Jan 12th, 1:15pm; paid conference registration required to attend), and I'll be doing a shorter presentation and Q&A in the O'Reilly booth at 10:15am on the 13th (free).

In addition, we're going to try to hold the first-ever Mac OS X Hints get-together on the 11th at 6:00pm. The location is still TBD, but that's why I'm posting this -- I need to get a relatively firm idea of headcount, so I can reserve some space somewhere. So if you're interested in meeting with myself and some of the other readers of the site for dinner and conversation, please send an email to mwsf2005 at macosxhints.com [spammers, that's a throwaway address, so have at it!], and include the number of people you expect to have in your group. Once I get a better idea of the rough headcount, I'll try to find somewhere with room for the group.

It could be a great show (iPod flash? Tiger ship date? Unknown but expected surprisingly cool hardware!), and I hope to get the chance to meet a few of you there in person this year.

Update: Location chosen; please note the site message just above the first hint...

Great! I'm so glad you're going to be giving a speech this year. This is my first year to go, and I'll be attending the Users conference as well. I can't wait to see which hints you think are the best :)

Word. This should be fun.

Just be sure to keep dinner cheap; I need my cash for a G5. ;)

Well, since this will be a "you pay for what you eat" (I'll spring for some appetizers and maybe some beverages), keeping the food cheap will be up to you :). But we are looking at relatively inexpensive (it is San Fran, after all) restaurants...

Restaurant recommendation
Authored by: kwyjibo on Dec 17, '04 05:01:54PM

Might I recommend Thirsty Bear? It is a micro brewery serving Spanish food (mmmm tapas!) on Howard Street, only a few blocks away from Moscone. It is quite spacious and has an upper room with chairs, pool tables, etc. Take a look at http://www.thirstybear.com/.

Not sure yet if I'll be in SF that night, but if the crowd is the right size (probably 25 or under) I recommend Buca di Beppo, about a block away from the Moscone. I first went there for a RealBasic user group dinner a few years back, and it suits the group get-together very well. Massive family-style portions, endlessly curious decor, etc. It's a stop every year I'm in SF now, although it's most fun in a group.
