Possible, but kinda cold this time of year. I'd also prefer something
near BART for attendance.

Yes, please do!

For this? We'd need to have food and soft drinks for probably 10-15
people, both snacks and lunch, and coffee. Would be around $150-$200 if
we're in a location with a kitchen, and $300-$350 if not. So venue with
kitchen is much better.
