I was thinking like July or August. Much nicer around here then,
IMO.
Oh, a more general question: would people prefer we avoid the
holiday weekends? On the one hand, more time; on the other hand,
more other obligations.

That's actually in Pleasanton, which is annoyingly far from here.
As I said, I've done just fine with a large hotel suite, but perhaps
we should also poke at the various geek houses around here.
