At the dinner there were by my count 49 individuals by my count ( 45 had
the buffet,
3 ordered off the menu, 1 did not eat).  I had called the restaurant and
told them to 
expect 20 to 22 individuals.  They got over twice the many, but were very
gracious
and as far as I know all had a good time.
I can not speak for all bay area extropians but personally a lot of my time
and 
energy for the past 6 months has been consumed by my job.  Leaving Sun and
going to a startup has been a major time and energy sink.  I think that a
lot of 
other bay area extropians are in a similar situation.  Plus some were
resting up
for the Foresight conference or actually working on making it happen.
