2nd annual Pre-Keynote meet-up
From our Upcoming.org page
Every Mac user that travels to Macworld and attends the Steve Jobs keynote is usually alone. They start arriving at 12AM and sit alone with iPod earphones in the cold and usually rainy climate just for a chance to sit a few hundred yards away as Steve delivers his keynote broadcast to the world.
I devices the pre-keynote meetup in 2005 to help you and your boredom toward the event. Here�s the plan.
We all meet at 4AM at the Apple Store on Stockton St., have some conversation and snap some photos commemorating the event (cause nothing sucks more than saying you were at Macworld and you don�t have one photo of yourself). From there, we walk over to the keynote line at Moscone center and now you�ve met some interesting people to make the time in line a lot easier to handle. There might even be some coffee and doughnuts for you lucky guys.
Last year, http://upcoming.org/event/46513/ , we had 10 individuals show up outside of the Apple Store at 4AM. After we each took some photos of this memorable event we walked down to the Moscone center and were probably 45th in line for the keynote.
Here�s the schedule
4AM: Apple Store @ Stockton St
4:30: Walk to Moscone to get in line and prepare for the Stevenote
5:30: I hope to have a ride to help me go get some doughnuts and coffee for the tired and shivering masses

We�ll meet outside of the Moscone South Entrance at 5:30PM (I�ll be wearing a spymac shirt) and we�ll walk over the the metreon for an early dinner / snack.
There are a few dining options and I�ll leave that up to the group.

Macworld closeout meetup:
I host this event every year to a generally small turnout. Most people have left town or are getting on planes to head home. Usually a couple of readers, my staff and sponsors meetup for some drinks and quality time before we leave. Here's the skinny. 10:00PM @ The Redwood Room (in the clift hotel) 495 Geary St. We will hang out until about Midnight. The Redwood Room is extremely busy on Friday night so wear your Macworld badge or a DTT shirt and we'll have a table reserved in the main lobby right before you enter the bar.
