So is it the 24th like this page says or the 25th like the main article says? Or is it both? :-)

    Yeah, stumped. More curiously, Blue Fin in RWC closes at 8 PM. Either it's a private party there, or it's someplace else.

So, I know of a Blue Fin Sushi, but not in PA. Are you thinking RWC? Could you update the map?

  If I were organizing this (and thankfully, I'm not!) I would wait a bit to see how many people signed up and then nail down the location. So I'm guessing that's what's going on. Wherever it is, as long as there's beer, I'll be there!

  There's already one in San Jose (http://slashdot.org/anniversary.pl?view_id=85 [slashdot.org]). Airfare might be a bit steep though... (/me whistles "Do you know the way to San Jose?" to himself)...

  You have to go to the page where you search for a party by state, then you can check a radio box next to the location, and click submit at the bottom of the list. Took me a few mins to figure out as well, because the full list of parties does not have a way to select a party, nor does the page that has the specifics about a given site.

    Took me a while as well. Also, this means you can't sign up for multiple parties. I was thinking I'd hit SF, SJ, *and* PA.

      I don't think Slashdot has any method of identification, so you (Eq7-2521) could hit SF, Eq7-2522 could hit SJ, and we'll all get to meet Slashdots newest member Eq7-2523 in PA.

I was pleased to see Ann Arbor as the other main party. I started computing there as a wee 13yo, but have been in Palo Alto for almost two decades now.

I doubt the Blue Chalk cafe can hold over 200 people. This thing is going to be INSANELY packed and spilling onto the streets. Is there a bar or something next door that the overflow can go into?

  Yes. Here are some within-3-blocks alternatives:
  
  Huki Lau [dahukilau.com] (rad Hawaiian food/drinks - right next door)
  Rose and Crown [theroseandcrown.com] (my favorite - british pub ales on tap!)
  GordonBiersch [gordonbiersch.com]
  Nola's [nolas.com] (another club/bar place, similar to Blue Chalk, also a large sports bar right next door to it)
  
  Also note that the Stanford grad students will be invading at 9:30 [stanford.edu], so Blue Chalk will only get worse as the night goes on.

Thanks for hosting a fine evening. Surprisingly mature group, but I guess the young trolls couldn't get their mothers to drive them in.

  But yes, good choice of location and everything was great.
