The Western Number Theory Conference
http://home.earthlink.net/~bartgoddard/mainpage.html
meets in Monterey (acutally Asilomar) Sunday-Thursday December 16-20.
It is four weeks away, so some out-of-town attendees may not
have bought air tickets yet and might be able to
stop between the SFO/OAK/SJC airports and Monterey.
If the Mersenne gathering is in Silicon Valley around 4 pm on Thursday
December 20, then attendees will have time to get from Monterey to
the event, and still have time to get to SFO two hours before
a red-eye flight to the east coast. The meeting location will need storage
for luggage.
If the gathering is in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area, it should be the
afternoon of Tuesday December 18, which is a free period for conference
attendees. Point Lobos and the Monterey Aquarium are the most common
destinations on these afternoons.
I reside in Marin County, north of San Francisco. I rarely attend
evening (as opposed to multi-day) events in Silicon Valley, since it
is too hard to get home after the last evening commute buses leave
San Francisco. Plus, if I eat near Mountain View, I'll need to use the
toilet when I reach San Francisco, but the Transbay Terminal toilets
are closed at night.
