I am in. Just finished making a CCD camera from a webcam, so I want to try it out.

If I can get there early enough and there is some sunlight, I'll bring the SolarMax, as well.

Phew!

2pm, and the San Remometer says it is 41.1 outside under the balcony in the shade.

I'd hate to see what it would have been like without this sea/lake breeze.

What time is a key-holder going to be onsite?

I'm looking at getting there around 6:30-7:00pm.

My plan is to arrive by about 9pm.

If it hasn't cooled down by then, I might have to stay in what I am currently wearing (which is absolutely nothing at all).
