Forecast is for temps to be in the 50's by the weekend. It may be wet, but the snow will be gone.
The Aquarium Beautiful Awards Ceremony on Saturday night (bar opens at 4:30...free food for registered attendees about 5:00 or so) would be a good place to link up... We've got a shuttle going to DogfishHead (which is about a 5 min drive) and there is a really good Chinese place across the street (along with a bunch of other restaurants within a 5 minute walk).
Hospitality kicks off at 9:00 with a raffle for a Dave's Rare Fish $50 Gift Certificate a short presentation from Ken Davis... and then to a big suite on the 3rd floor for free beer and snacks all night (for registered attendees).
Lot's of opportunities to hang
