			<description><![CDATA[I made it to these every year I attended Macworld, which was pretty much every year from 1993-2008. Alas, change in timing of MacWorld sealed it for me. However, I did take my Chinese wife (who is from Hunan) there to eat when we visited San Francisco in 2009.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I never attended Netters, but it brought back memories of MAUG on Compuserve, and its ringleader, a guy named Neil something I think.  I was 76136,1457.  There were MAUG get-togethers around then also, I do remember going to a couple of those.  And I remember my first web experience running a text-based browser on my Mac SE using a protocol for IP over dial up whose name escapes me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Let's not forget Betty, who fed us for all those years.  She was sad to hear that we weren't coming, and she would welcome us back in a second.<br><br>When we started, the Hunan on Sansome at Broadway was right off the Broadway exit of the Embarcadero freeway, which came from the Bay Bridge.  When that fell down in the 1989 earthquake, they got more isolated and appreciated us greatly.<br><br>If you find yourself in SF, stop in and let them warm you up with their spicy Hunan style.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There was the year we did the QTVR. And the year Amanda bought us all InterCON shirts. The year with the delicious fish on a platter. The year I flew past SF to LA and missed it. The year I met the Storm guys, who later hired me. The year Marshall signed up first (oh wait, that was ALL of them).]]></description>
