Hi Folks,
After a couple of years of bitching to see if I could get someone
else to come up with a Meeting in a Box that our MUG could use in the
Fall months to promote the idea of our members making plans to travel
to and attend the January Macworld in San Francisco, and not seeing
any results, I have decided to try to put such a presentation
together on my own. I am shooting for something that would hopefully
be about 30 minutes of presentation plus time for questions, and I
want the presentation to be split 50-50 between the "Macintosh"
reasons why a person would want to go to Macworld and the "Tourist"
reasons why that same person would want to go to San Francisco.
Our MUG is located on the east side of North America. I therefore
feel it's important to try to do this kind of presentation in the
Fall while there is still lots of time for our members to search
about and try to find the most economical ways to travel to and stay
in San Francisco.
Most of the resource material I will use to develop this presentation
will likely be things that I find on the Internet, and/or photographs
I took last year when I attended Macworld for my first time.
One of the things I want to include are some recommendations for fine
dining. It is fairly easy to find such "top ten lists" on the
Internet, although most are either based on the entire San Francisco
area or certain specific neighbourhoods like Chinatown. I would like
to supplement this kind of list with another which is more focused on
the geographic area surrounding Moscone Center, based on the
assumption that a lot of the people to whom I am preaching would end
up using hotels in this area and would therefore want to find
restaurants within walking or short cab ride distances.
So, the purpose of this message is to invite anyone who wants to
suggest their favourite restaurants or eateries that are in the
"Moscone area" to drop me a line. I guess it would be fine to reply
to this list, but I also do not mind if folks want to email me
directly as a means to avoid any inter-restaurant squabbles!!
Of course, if anyone has any other ideas on key things that they
would include in such a presentation targeted to existing MUG
members, feel free to include them. My plan is to work up this
presentation in KeyNote, then make it available to any other MUG's
which might like to use it, conditional only on the notion that
anyone who finds ways to improve it agrees to make their version
similarly available to the MUG community.
Thanks for your time.
