Yeah, looks like you’ll be just a couple blocks from House of Siam. Every time I’m in San Jose I go there for some great Thai dinner. Gordon Biersch is popular too, but seems expensive to me.

Mission Ale House is also nearby, reasonable drink prices but it’s sort of a sports bar. They have a nice back patio if the weather’s good. There are also a bunch of nightclubs on (I think) 1st Street and Market Street. Last time I was there we didn’t find anything great and it seems like most have a cover charge now. I think Toons didn’t have a cover, if that matters.

So what’s the conference?
