SF Bay Area Kossack meetup pt. 3: Herding Cats [with a brief poll]

Well, I didn't get as much feedback as I was hoping, or rather, the feedback that I did get was extremely mixed (see entries 1 and 2).  And, alas, too much going on at work and in particular a sick child make me not the best person to be setting himself up to be in charge.

So I propose the following:

1. That those who can make it pick up Fiat Lux's idea (more here) and attend tomorrow's Dean Meet-Up in Oakland.  If Fiat Lux is around, could he/she give more details on this?  I believe he/she is talking about the meetup at Saysetha restaurant on Telegraph.  Kossacks could find one another there, perhaps someone could get up and make an announcement, and form a core group.  I, alas, will likely be unable to make it depending on how my boy is doing.
2. That we then schedule another Kossack specific gathering for later in the month.  I would suggest the Mission, since it is central, and BARTable, and several Kossacks live there and could hopefully pick out a workable location (I myself am a peninsula dweller; I used to live in Noe Valley but I'm sure much has changed in the past seven years in terms of desireable locales).  I would propose a time that is mid-evening (say 8:00) in order to accomodate both those who work late and those with families or who otherwise turn into pumpkins at midnight.  A Thursday seems logical.
3. But, that said, I think we all would defer to whatever opinions the maestro himself might have on this:  Kos, if you would be interested in meeting some of your regulars at some kind of local gathering, where, when, and how would you prefer it be set up?
