Greetings Robert. I am pleased to hear that you are interested in attending one of our ZPG Boston meetings. What experience do you bring from the Bay Area? I spent 5 years at Stanford in my undergrad days and loved that area. If you could let me know where you live (or work, if you will be coming from work) so I can figure out who might be able to pick you up, that would be great. It is difficult to get to Barbara's by public transportation. Please let me know soon, as I will be at a conference most of next week.
