<para xml:id="p1">Once again, in the spirit of blog-announced geek dinners, I
propose to dine with DocBook geeks at XML 2006. That's you, dear readers,
or at least those of you who will be in

</para>

<para xml:id="p2">Concrete plans always work better than vague ones, so I propose that we meet
in the hotel lobby at 7:30p on Wednesday evening, departing for dinner
promptly at 8:00p. There must be restaurants close by. If not, the
<link xlink:href="http://eastcoastgrill.net/">East Coast Grill</link> is
one of my favorite spots and
can't be more than five or ten minutes by cab.</para>

<para xml:id="p3">If you look at
<link xlink:href="http://2006.xmlconference.org/programme/">the program</link>,
you'll see that there are events
every evening. There's nothing to be done about that. If you're not
free for dinner, I'll be wandering around every day.</para>

<para xml:id="p4">If you're interested in dinner on Wednesday evening, add a comment.
Restaurant suggestions most welcome.</para>
