I was thinking the same thing.
In a case like that (

I'd them who is incharge of the meetup should pick a date. I think weekend

All,
In case you've forgotten (I know I did), SF Meetup #12 is this weekend.
Specifically Sunday @ 2pm @ Yahoo! HQ. Gotta put your name down in advance
so you can be put on the "list" for Yahoo! security. Chatter about Maker

Actually we talked about having this very exact thing for Maker Faire at the
last meetup. That map updates fairly slow, and doesn't leave any of the old
updates. But yes, we would really love to see something like this at Maker
Faire.

Ok people, all things fast and loose. Maker Fair last minute planning and
