with the 4 geo-events in the SF area this spring (Location Intelligence, CalGIS, Symposium on the Digital Earth and Where2.2) I think a series of events--open houses, parties, kaffeeklatch, etc...would be a lot of fun.
if you have ideas/want to host space/parties/etc. feel free to send me your ideas. i can be the geo-clearinghouse. UMI wants to host some more of these (a la geowanking style), but having a road show is a great idea.

BTW, I'm reasonably sure I could get space in Sunnyvale or Santa Clara from my employer for a south bay confab, as well.
