I was trying to figure out what the best place would be to meet up for the Coding Slave get together when Andrew Baum, in a comment, said something very sane:
Would it be easier to just meet up in front of the center and make a decision on the spot?
Yup.
What we'll do, then, is meet at the red X on this map (that is, we won't actually meet on this map (stop trying to stand on your monitor), but at the real location represented by the X):

This is just about smack in the center of the front of the convention center. Ought to be easy to find. I've pointed to some landmarks with blue arrows. If you'd like to see the entire map of which this segment is just one small part, then click here and then click on the "room viewer" link. It takes a second to pop up, so be patient.
Once it finally loads, you won't be looking at the ground floor, but one of the upper levels. In the upper left-hand corner of the window, click the "Ground Level" button, and you'll get the map you're after.
That was more complicated than I would have liked, but these things happen.
So, we're going to meet at 7:00 PM on Sunday - this Sunday. I'll bring along a list of nearby destinations, and we can do things all democratic-like and vote on where we'd like to go once we've all met at the red X.
It'll be fun, thought provoking, and I'm counting on seeing you bastards there :)
