This might generate some cross-pollination of contacts and allow time for some followup later in the week. A suggestion on the rough itinerary:

I did chat a bit today to EI out here about the trip. I will sound out Dan and Dave. Setting up something at the Comp History Museum is easy -- just need to know your schedule.

This will be a huge help to us and I love all your suggestions. We'll do a post on it highlighting your comments here. Our plan for those Valley people who are less comfortable with the big social events is to invite them as guests of honour to the various smaller dinners we'll have. Intros and contacts would be greatly appreciated. Am I right in thinking you are away this week? If not, we have the Paddy's Valley social meetup before DemoBar at 5pm this Thursday in Ely HQ. If you can't make it, hopefully John can. That’s fantastic news Karlin! This will be a huge help to us and I love all your suggestions. We’ll do a post on it highlighting your comments here.

Amongst those mentioned are Dan Gillmor & Dave Winer. If this is of interest let me know. Also anyone with the most remote interest in computing will want to see the Computer History Museum in Mountain View -- their collection in Visible Storage is amazing -- I know the director there fairly well and can likely set up a special tour with a few extras. Also there is a separate museum, The Tech, in San Jose. It is more a hands on contextual and thematic sort of place but also interesting. I was also suggesting you should do a group lunch at Buck's in Woodside as, along with the old Wagon Wheel, that IS the heart of Valley deals and ideas. If people have other interests let me know and I will see what I can do.
