Dogs on leash are a-ok.
Questions on paper is a good idea.
Directions:
All roads lead to 880 Southbound (East Bay 680S to Mission BLVD in fremont - cut across East to 880S) or (SF 280S to 85S to 17S) or (101S to 880S) - then exit Lark ave.
Follow signs to Winchester ave.
Before Winchester, make a left on University. This is basically where the park is, and free parking is along this street further down on the edges of the park.
Left on Peppertree, which will show up right away, the boat house and what not is right there.
I think parking is $5? But, as stated, free on the outside of the park if space can be found.

I'll be bringing some books and CDs to give away/lend out.
(If anyone is interested in any of this junk, let me know and I'll bring it.)

I am new here and looking forward to meeting those of you planning to attend this Saturday. Writing down questions is a good suggestion; thanks. Book giveaways/lending - always appreciated.
Would someone clarify if this is a potluck?
Thanks!

Last time an potluck just emerged. Everybody seemed to bring something (chips, sandwiches, cookies, drinks). If it wasn't for DW, I wouldn't have thought of bringing anything. Write it up to bad/oblivious manners in my case, but I don't think one should be expected to bring anything. Surely we can gather without eating

Q did mention potluck in the first email. I'm planning on bringing something, but that's just what I am used to. Food being the easy ice breaker, gathering place, way to relax people.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree, food can be a good social lubricant. And the thing about potlucks is, very often there is more than enough to go around, even if not everyone brings something. Does anyone understand the economic theory behind that phenomenon? <grin>

I was going to bring some drinks and cups, bag of chips.
Maybe the dog, will be an experience all it's own seeing what the dog does...
EDIT: And DVDs that anyone can have.

I'm planning on bringing some wine. Can you drink in the park here?

Permitted in picnic areas according to the site, but not in parking lots - but I've "concealed" the one alcoholic beverage I intend to drink (Rum Punch).
I was going to make a Sangria, but forgot. I do however have a cold bottle of Riesling ready to go, guess I'll bring that too.
@Jacob (if you haven't left home to drive there) - whats the rough head count?

That was a good meet-up, much like meet-up 1, cept in public.
Apologies to S for the excessive meat conversation at times.
Nice meeting everyone and sharing all the ideas and questions
