San Francisco MEGA DO 2008 - September 26-28
 

Howdy Folks!

As promised the San Francisco Mega Do is back, and we're hoping to top last year. Given that the Do calendar is already pretty full we decided we needed to get the date out there soon, and chose September 26-28 as the weekend for this year.

For those that didn't make it last year, we had a great set of activities from dinners at two great restaurants, to yachting, to aerial tours of the bay area, to a California Redwood deck party, to Dim Sum, to a tour of the United Maintenance Facility at SFO (pictures from last year). While we can't promise all of those activities again, we sure as heck will try our best!

We hope to see familiar faces and hopefully some first timers!

Your hosts,
