In regards to Zietgeist being packed, you do have a point. There has been a line half way down the block the last couple of Fridays I stopped by. Not sure how it is on Saturday so maybe I'll stop by this weekend and check it out.
Any suggestions for a backup venue? I'd recommend Ace's Cafe which is new, not as busy, has an excellent jukebox, and in the same general area, 14th in Mission. They also have

Last time I tried going to a bar, they wouldn't let me in because my ID card expired back when I turned 21.

Who knows, it might even cause a few girls to approach out of curiosity.
Looking forward to my first slashdot meetup - it's about time.

I have to drive from San Rafael across the Golden Gate bridge, so something with nearby safe parking would be nice. I do want to stop by & say hello. I will probably not stay very long because I have a SU (spousal-unit) and child at home to keep company.
Is the Metreon out of the question? They have the Da Vinci: An Exhibition of Genius exhibit open 10 A.M. to 10 P.P. on Saturday http://www.davincithegenius.com/sanfran.html [davincithegenius.com]

Lucky 13 had some space at 11pm, but had been full before that.
The 500 Club was packed at 9pm
Cassanova's was packed at 10:30, but less so at 10.
Didn't make it to the Latin American Club.
Parking was an absolute bitch anywhere near Valencia.
Ace's was pretty empty. Going to Thieves hadn't come up yet so I didn't check that.

Ok, here's the plan..... (Score:2)
Maybe if Zeitgeist is ridiculously crowded, go to Ace's Cafe? They are close to each other [google.com], a short walk.
So, to clarify, here's my plan: I am going to go to Zeitgeist at 8, look for a penguin on the table (I'll bring a small penguin myself, and wear a maroon baseball cap with a 22 on it). If it is really crowded, and I don't find people, I'll go over to Ace's Cafe and look there. If you happen to be outside at eit

Sounds like a plan....I will plan to be outside Zeitgeist, with my orange and gray vespa, #22 cap, and penguin, at 8 o'clock. See you then!
So did anyone even show up? (Score:2)

Thanks to INCREDIBLE traffic on Van Ness and missing a turn onto Market street, I drove past Zeitguist at 8:10 and then circled back to look for parking. I found a parking spot less than 100 yards away. It was well guarded by a person sleeping on the sidewalk.
I arrived at Zeitguist at 8:18 P.M. and made two passes through the outside patio with Penguin in hand. I did not notice any outliers in the crowd, so I asked the bouncer (a really amiable guy) if he had seen anyone with a penguin. He asked me if this
