San Francisco Bay Area Geeknic

The folks at Gidget Kitchen have planned the first geeknic for the San Francisco Bay Area!

Date: Saturday, May 1, 2010

Time: 12:30 til 5:30pm

Location: Heather Farms Park – Walnut Creek

Once you are in the park, follow the penguin signs.

If you need a ride from BART email INFO <at> GIDGETKITCHEN <dot> ORG ahead of time or call Mark at (510) 228-4646

Free to attend, bring a dish – it would be nice to let people know ahead of time what you are bringing. Either post on the wiki or on the Facebook Page.

• The park has picnic tables, a few extra chairs would be bonus.
• We have 2 extra tables
• There are built-in grills. We’ll have at least one extra.
• We have one sun canopy and a few large umbrellas to protect anybody from bursting in to flames or getting sunburned. We welcome any other sun protection that you may be able to bring.

Heather Farms is a great location. Many things to do there. Nice gardens nearby, birds to feed, etc. We can also throw a frisbee or use the redball to play a game of kickball.
