Please note that the building and party are non-smoking. There will be a nijikai featuring karaoke the location of which will be disclosed at the party.We will move on to the nijikai by midnight since my building requires the DJ to stop spinning by then.

Since I am sure you've all heard it already, I won't bore you with the
details about the India race. But in case you are interested, more
info can be found at http://rickshaw08.com/ and
http://quakecitymadcaps.com

It's going to be a blast. We have some great entertainment ranging
from Bollywood videos to well know local DJs, such as DJ DANEEKAH and
DJ halon. There will be raffles for t-shirts, toys and chances to pie
each of the team members in the face. And of course there is a huge
silent auction with a ton of food related and art
items(http://rickshaw08.com/auction.php), great for xmas .

I hope to see you all there!! I'll be practicing putting on my sari
until then. Oh, and if you run a blog/mailing list, please please
send out the info about the fundraiser/auction to them! The more the
merrier.

And a big thanks to all of you who have donated so far! You guys are
amazing! Post cards are a-coming from India for you kind people! We
are at close to $2500 so far! Yeah!

Due to popular demand, the owner of Oyaji will allow us to add an additional table for today's Meetup. This frees up 6 more spots so please RSVP yes if you would like to attend.

Let's meetup and practice our Japanese at Oyaji Restaurant, one of San Francisco's most authentic Izakaya. All ages and skill levels welcome. Event fee is estimated to include food and drink per person (this is not a nomi hodai but I am working on it). 15 people max as that is the largest party size for which they will take a reservation. Ganbarou!

Hi All,

One of our members , Joel Goleburn, has kindly offered up his SoMa home for our next meetup in less than three weeks. This is a BYOB event with snacks. Just show up with the following:

* A bottle of some sort filled with a liquid you like to drink
* $3 in cash to contribute to the snack fund if you want to eat
* An attitude of respect for someone else's home
* A desire to talk about, or even in, Japanese!

We'll probably finish up around 9pm.

Cheers,

Bob

Here's the location, on Sutter Street (up Powell from Powell St. BART on Market Street):
