[META][SF] Oct 15 Tombstone Poker and Afterparty Meetup The first Tombstone Poker event is a week and a half from now on October 15 in San Francisco. I'll be heading down on Friday evening and staying through early afternoon on Sunday. That's right, I'm setting the bar for attendance; if you live withing 538 miles of San Francisco you'd better have a pretty good excuse for not showing up.
Anyway, missphinx has graciously volunteered to plan and coordinate a get-together after the live event, and has commissioned ariock and hmrpita to be her (possibly as yet unwitting) lieutenants. Anyone who wants to party with us on Saturday night, sound off in this thread! Okay, even if you don't want to party, let us know if you'll be attending the live event.
I don't really know anyone in SF, so I'd appreciate a PM from anyone who wants to exchange contact info/cell numbers with me. You may wish to provide your info to missphinx as well to facilitate her planning of whatever we end up doing that night.
ETA: Poker location and time info:
Saturday, October 15, 1:30 – 3:00 PM pacific time
San Francisco/Colma, CA – Italian Cemetery
More information on the LCP site .
EATA: Looks like they've planned an afterparty already? From the above-linked page:
After 3 PM, you're invited to nearby Globe Tavern ( 7379 Mission St ) to raise a glass to the players you're leaving underground at the Italian Cemetery.

I promise! I will not sell your information to Nigerians!
Also, I need a *******lot******** of help planning this. So much, that I wouldn't mind (at all) if somebody else volunteers to take over at least the part about where/when this drinkering is going to take place.
We can probably hold off on speculating too much immediately. But everybody, mark your calendars now for a weekend you (and perhaps your liver) will never, ever forget.

I'll be in SF/Oakland the 14-15 (seeing one of the premiere performances of an opera about Oppenheimer and the Trinity Test, and loading a storage locker of stuff for transport to PDX).

Ya Know... I live in the SF Bay Area. I believe Lloyd does as well.
Let me see what I can't work out with my schedule. If I can't make it, I can at the very least attempt to arrange for a practice session, perhaps?

Silverkun and Lloyd, we look forward to meeting you
CoffeeJedi noticed a certain blog update and posted here - which made me check LCP.
We have our instructions at http://www.lastcallpoker.com/allin/sf_1015/default.htm
and we're meeting after the tournament to raise a glass to the dead

Well I'm certianly game.
I've GoogleEarthed the place. Nice open area with alot of cards. Turth told, I'm more than half tempted to scope the place out prior.
And now to see if my obligations will let me.
Tonight, I grab hold of a pair of decks from my local EB. I've half a mind to give my "spare" to whomever travels out the farthest...
Perhaps we can make it the prize for an aftergame at the bar, hmm?

The page points out that you'll be needing folks here to get in touch with you at 2:30 PST. I'm up for being a contact if you guys haven't already gotten in touch with someone. PM me and we can hash out the details.

Seconded. It says "some of your friends," so I'm sure you'll need more than one of us.

I think posting here if you want to be a contact is a *great* idea.
I can keep a list of contacts as well, and you can PM me if you want, but everybody please do whatever it is you feel like doing with this. The more the merrier! Hook up with friends!
P.S. I don't have a cell phone or a mobile device to access chat, so I'm pretty much useless as far as that goes.

Yeah, that's going to be all sorts of interesting. I'm clear to show for the event. I've got a video camera that can transfer straight to digital, and two laptops with WiFi cards in them. I've also got a third WiFi device, but the PSP Browser can be a bit funky.
I've got an older cell phone with text ability, and an AM/FM radio (they sell for about $1.20 at most Wal-Marts here.)
Shall we see how well we can work this out?

Highly likely that I will be available to assist online during that time frame (unless I have an unexpected client). I am able to access LCP from my weekend job, including the poker rooms. I am unable to access #uf or #lastcall for IRC even through the java client. PM me for cell phone contact info.

I may also be available for basic phone relay, if needed. I will be in TX, but I'll have my cell handy.
