Considering that we're talking about either Friday or Saturday for going out to dinner, we'd probably better plan on making a reservation either in advance of the date, or one of those "call ahead" reservations that some restaurants are doing now (especially if it turns out we have a lot of people who'd like to participate).

Folks,<br><br>I'm assuming that Bob Good is coming in from somewhere else to do his<br>talk on VMWare. One of the things that happens pretty often in academia<br>when you have visitors from far afield is that a group of folks
<br>interested in the persons work will take them out to dinner or something<br>like that the night before or after the talk.<br><br>Have we given any thought about this? Doing it before the talk is a<br>great way to build repoire.
