     Delicious Hunan cuisine and reasonably priced.
     Easy Transit/Parking Access: short walk from BART, MUNI, parking
        Trip planning:  http://www.511.org/
Virtual:
     https://meet.jit.si/BALUG.org Dial-in numbers also available at the
     URL.
     Please use earbud(s)/headphone(s) or mute yourself to avoid audio
     feedback issues, also please if you have background sound/noise
     issues mute yourself when not talking.
     Generally works quite fine with reasonably modern Firefox
     Chrome/Chromium, Microsoft Edge, possibly others (requires WebRTC
     https://webrtc.org/
     (Wikipedia: WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)
     (can also do some testing here: https://test.webrtc.org/ Probably
     don't worry about minor items like "Reflexive connectivity" )), from
     desktop, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.
Meeting Details...
Cost/Dining:
      The meetings are always free, but dinner is not (unless you are our
      guest speaker, in which case we also treat you to dinner).  For
      Henry's Hunan Restaurant, if folks are agreeable, we'll share and
      dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
      person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
      complementary tea) would be in the $15.00 to $31.00 range, and
      commonly around $18.00 to $27.00.  Cash preferred to ease splitting
      up the check.  One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
      needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
      commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
      considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...). Punctual arrival
      recommended for optimal dining experience, as we expect to be
      ordering at that time.
      At approximately 7:00 P.M. we start our presentation/talk, or more
      informal talk/discussion if we don't have a particularly
      presentation/talk/presenter or special guest arranged.
