I think that goes without saying. Berkeley is well-known for having a lot of good restaurants. :) > Any recommendations for things to do over there, or places to avoid? Go up to Telegraph Ave at some point, at least, and see all the nifty street people. I'll be having a "drug buyers tour" during the conference where I tell you which street corners to avoid and who to get all the best LSD from. Haha. Just kidding. It's actually a pretty interesting walk when the weather is nice and Telegraph is a lot more fun than it is dangerous if you're simply clued-in enough to go wander it before 3am or so - no different than Times Square in NYC that way, I guess. The campus itself is also a fun walker's tour and I'll probably be taking small groups of people up to wander the Lawrence Berkeley Labs at various points during the week. The area is pretty spectacular for both its views and its various scientific landmarks ("over there's where they split the first particles, and over there is where they put them back together again before anybody found out") and there's even a decent set of stables (Grizzly Peak stables) for those who enjoy equestrian activities; it's been far too long since I myself rode the various trails up there and may rent a horse myself if there's any general interest. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
