Dear all,<div><br></div><div>Sorry for this general posting, but I don't want to miss any possible GLIMS participants. </div><div><br></div><div>There will be a GLIMS dinner and discussion tomorrow at 6:30 PM at the Amber India restaurant in San Francisco, close to the Moscone Center. I have reserved a table for ten (can be expanded) in a quiet side room, 6:30-9:30. There will be other people dining in that room, but noise should be at a level low enough to have our discussions. I tested the restaurant yesterday, and it's a slightly up-scale Indian restaurant, but some items are quite different from your usual Indian food. There is a vegetarian selection.</div><div><br></div><div>Location:</div><span class="Apple-style-span" DEFANGED_STYLE="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; border-collapse: collapse; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">25 Yerba Buena Lane<br>San Francisco, CA 94103<br></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; border-collapse: collapse; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">(415) 777-0500</span></div><div><br></div><div>It's located on the northeast side of the Marriott building (the Marriott near Moscone Center), but it's not part of the hotel.

If we meet for the full duration until 9:30, hopefully enough people will keep the servers and restaurant busy enough to make it worth us occupying that much space for so long. </div><div><br></div><div>--Jeff Kargel</div> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
