OK, here's the (revised) scoop. The next meeting of MacFilmmakers WILL be a planning and organizational meeting, but NOT tonight as previously announced. This planning meeting is now scheduled for one week from today, the evening of Wednesday, December 5th. This new date has been chosen to allow several people who voiced a desire to attend, but could not make a Nov. 28 gathering, the chance to plan accordingly. The agenda is simple: dinner and discussion. No guest speakers, no presentations, just planning for future meetings.
We will be gathering in Palo Alto at the Cheesecake Factory, 375 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA, 94301, (650) 473-9622. We expect to be seated for dinner between 6:15 and 6:30; those who arrive earlier may wish to gather informally in the bar/lounge area. For this dinner-oriented gathering, your food and drink purchases are "dutch treat". To help you budget accordingly, the Cheesecake Factory features an extensive and varied menu with dinner entree prices ranging from $8 to $29, soft drinks at $3 and fancier drinks starting at $6 and up.
While all are welcome to attend, this will be a business-oriented meeting. If you do plan to join us, an RSVP in the affirmative is helpful (by simply leaving a comment attached to this entry or by communicating directly with me) but not required. I look forward to seeing you next week!

Could not attend. Conflict with other Mac user group planning meeting. In the past a rotating series of basic topics was mentioned and that would be excellent to add to a meeting lacking vendors or other topics. There's plenty of topics/concepts in FCP Studio to go over. It would draw a crowd if announced far enough in advance. It's also preferable to no meeting at all.

Doors open at 5:00, Food served and Auditorium open at 6:30, and Program begins at 7:00, we are out of there by 10
If you have been on the fence about going, or buying a ticket this is a good time to think about it. The first 250 people in the door which is roughly almost half the attendees will get a great reusable goodie bag, full of useful items. A little encouragement to get there early. As much as we give away, we understand people who firmly believe "I never win anything". We do our best to change that mindset.
We will have food, but if you want a more substantial meal the Mission Bay Conference Center's "Pub" is open all day with a five star chef. It will be a refreshing affordable meal at the Pub - that's where I am having lunch before prepping for the event. All the food is prepared in the same kitchen.
If you have been to our event in the past, this is a new location for us. It is a convenient cab ride, or take the MUNI "T" line Inbound and get off at Mission Bay/UCSF about 20-25 min from Moscone and walk up Owens St, faster by cab. Once you are there, you will know that this is what the event needed to do. Lots of space, conveniences like elevators, lots of bathrooms,
Since it is public space those under 21 may attend. There will be cash bars, but the bartenders will card you.
