We have some wonderful news about the annual party. We will be getting the room at Fort Mason gratis thanks to the intervention of Super attorney Paul Newman. Paul did some consulting work for Fort Mason recently and they comped us the room as a way of thanking Paul for his help. The location seemed to be a very popular choice last year so we are happy to be able to return this year. We are grateful to Fort Mason for their generosity and especially to Paul for negotiating the room on our behalf.

Be sure to check out the Fort Mason businesses (including Green's Restaurant, the SF Library Book Sale, SFMOMA Artists' Gallery, Magic Theater etc. etc.) next time you are in the area.

Because of this, there will be a slight break with tradition and the party will be held on a Saturday night, December 11 to be exact, so mark your calendars. Further details TBA.
