Might order anyway for MicroformatsDevCamp now, but if we want stickers for the weekend of the 26th we'll have to go with a us printer. There are other options I'm looking in to now but multicolor packets may not be an option - boo!). Will get back with other quotes.

Some thoughts on donations:
* Donation requested at the door: sliding scale $5-$20.  $10 or more gets you a t-shirt (may have to order them on demand and hand out at the next dinner depending on whether t-shirts arrive or not).

== location ==
There are several possibilities for venue, let's figure out what makes the most sense:
* 111 Minna
* 21st Amendment mezzanine
** capacity: 38 people seated, ~50 standing drinks plus appetizers.
** cost: no charge for user groups
* Varnish
** available for the 20th;
** costs $350/hr with non-profit discount (one hour setup is free)
* Bambuddah Lounge (@ the Pheonix Hotel Tenderloin area) -
** pros: it's cute and trendy, art on the walls, can do all cash bar or buy packages by the hour (I think for totally open bar it was going to be $25/pp but I could call the girl there and see if we could purchase drink tix or something to give to ea. person) - they have Hors D'Voures (spelling?) - most are $3 - $4/pp, definitely can accommodate a full crowd.
** cons: Might be more pricey than some places, never hosted anything there before
* DaDa SF
** Dada is available on the 20th for a private party. Can fit up to 80 people. No rental fee, just a minimum bar tab that we need to arrive at (both by buying drink tix & people buying their own drinks). The guy said it would be about $750 - 1000 bar tab minimum for the night. They would sell us drink tix if we want (any #). Don't serve food but allowed to bring our own - platters from a restaurant or grocery store, have outside caterer.
 
== date ==
Possible dates (please add opinions/+s/-s as nested list items
* 2009-06-19 Friday
* 2009-06-20 Saturday
* 2009-06-22 Monday
** might be possible to get all of [http://www.yelp.com/biz/b-restaurant-and-bar-san-francisco BBar] for this night.
* 2009-06-26 Friday
** This would give us ample time to plan and promote. It's getting tight now - decisions need to get made.
** [http://www.thegallerylounge.net Gallery Lounge] is available for this night at 8pm. Would have to bring our own food but no venue rental cost, just a bar minimum tab of 750-1000 for the night.
* 2009-06-27 Saturday
** This would give us ample time to plan and promote. It's getting tight now - decisions need to get made.
 
Constraints:
* depending on venue and attendee availability.
* time to plan and promote
* ...
 
== Design/Publicity Concepts ==
[http://www.anendlessarray.com/random/mf-4year.png 4 Year B-day Logo Idea]
* Dan Cederholm (original logo designer) said he likes this logo for the event. Thinks it identifies well with users who are familiar with Microformats (which is our target market for this particular event - people who are supporters of microformats or at least are familiar with it). Jeremy and I think this could be a good spin on the logo that would entice our supporters to come out and support. Dan & I both agree that the real logo should be somewhere on the internet promo buttons though. I still think the print collateral for the event (tshirts & stickers) should have the original logo on it & not this variation. Thoughts?
 
* 2 new variations:
** [http://anendlessarray.com/random/mf-graphic1.jpg 4 Year B-day Invite 1]
** [http://anendlessarray.com/random/mf-graphic2.jpg 4 Year B-day Invite 2]
 
** both use the 4's logo variation concept in tandem with the real logo (so it's apparent that we're not changing the actual mf logo). These are just sample little embeddable graphics that we could have various sizes of for users to download and put on their websites/blogs. Could make little code snippits to put in websites too that have a downloadable vcalendar when they click.


** can we add the Sponsors' Logos to the invitations please
