Hi Misha (and all),<br>

</div>You can be near certain that people will gather<br>
throughout the afternoon and evening on Friday.<br>
<br>
We always try to have a good gathering place for that purpose<br>
(preferably with a bar :-/).<br>
<br>
Traditionally Saturday is a full day, starting with a keynote<br>
by Alexandre, and then a day of meeting and then dinner out<br>
for everyone. �On Sunday, a fair number of folks will leave<br>
in the late afternoon. �Some folks will stick around for dinner.<br>
<br>
But essentially, Friday late afternoon through Sunday late<br>
afternoon are the 'core hours' for optimal WineConf.<br>
<br>
There are usually groups that do something mildly touristy<br>
on Monday, and often folks stick around for a few days<br>
and do other fun things afterward.<br>
<br>
This year, given the proximity to the US holiday of Thanksgiving,<br>
I think you'll find the preponderance of folks will have have free<br>
time early (e.g. Wednesday/Thursday), rather than later.<br>
<br>
Typically, these are small groups, and they sort things out<br>
on this mailing list, or on the Wiki page, as they go.<br>
<br>
Note that the date was chosen in part because travel will<br>
be cheaper. �But travel will be cheaper because the weather<br>
will be less nice... �You might want to figure that in<br>
when planning.<br>
<br>
Also note that tickets should remain cheap for the next<br>
few months, so you probably don't have to rush (but you can't<br>
blame me if I'm wrong and prices suddenly jump up :-/).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
