============================ VERY important changes... ============================
1)Change in venue We are NOT meeting at the Four Seas Restaurant because they have a conflict. However, Songbird (http://www.songbird.com/) has kindly offer the use of their office in SOMA for the meeting. (Address below)
2)Change in food & cost We will be ordering pizza & soda for this meeting. The cost will be $10, meat and veggie-friendly options will be available and we promise it won't be Pizza Hut or Domino's.
3)RSVPs REQUIRED Due to the fact that Songbird can host about 75 attendees (we may well get a full house) _AND_ that BALUG volunteers are personally paying for pizza upfront, we are *requiring* an RSVP for this event. So, if you'd like to join us *please* RSVP now (or at least as soon as you can!) to:
rsvp@balug.org
