<para xml:id="p1">In the spirit of blog-announced geek dinners, I
propose to dine with DocBook geeks at XML 2007. That's you, dear readers,
or at least those of you who will be in the vicinity of the
<link xlink:href="http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/BOSCO">Marriott
Copley Place</link>
and in possession of both your appetites and at least a passing
interest in DocBook on Monday, 3 December 2007.
</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, departing for
dinner promptly at 8:00p. There must be restaurants close by.</para>

<para xml:id="p3">If you look at
<link xlink:href="http://2007.xmlconference.org/public/schedule/">the
schedule</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 Monday evening,
add a comment. Restaurant suggestions most welcome.</para>

<para xml:id="p5">(And sorry for the late notice; I blame my cold and too much work.
Thanks to <personname>
      <firstname>Keith</firstname>
<surname>Fahlgren</surname>
    </personname> for the just-in-time reminder!)
