WordCamp kickoff party at Taylor's Refresher tomorrow

Events

WordCamp is this Saturday, bringing together bloggers and developers using the open-source PHP blogging product for a day of discussion and learning. We're kicking things off on Friday night with dinner along San Francisco's waterfront for anyone who is in town.

Join us for dinner at Taylor's Automatic Refresher at the Ferry Building. We'll be outside on the patio starting at 7 p.m. enjoying the sun and some good local food. The team from Automattic will be on hand to encourage increased use of BBQ sauce on everything. You can tryout one of San Francisco's first municipal WiFi nodes and check out all the pedicabs shuttling people to Pier 39 while you enjoy a burger, corn dog, milkshake, seafood, or something healthy like a salad (menu).

Taylor's Refresher is a small business from the Napa Valley mixing local food, beer, and wine with some crazy combinations. Each attendee will order and pay for their dinner individually at the counter, and you should be able to have a nice dinner for $10-$15. The restaurant is located at the far left of the Ferry Building (map) as you approach from the street. Metered parking spots open up at 7 p.m. so you should be able to park for free on Embarcadero if you choose to drive. BART and Muni rail stop a block away at Embarcadero station.

There may be an after-party across the street at Hotel Vitale starting at 9 p.m. if you'd like to skip straight to the hard liquor.

Ah, if only I read the *cool* blogs so I'd known about it. Oh well! Today's event was great. I'm so glad I went. (I think I may have used your power strip at one point...)
