This is a reminder that this year’s MLA Comediantes Banquet will be held
at Maya San Francisco on Monday December 29, 2008. We will meet at 6:30 p.m.
for a cash bar, with dinner beginning at 7:00. A favorite locale for gatherings
like ours, Maya specializes in “modern Mexican food” and is known
for its scrumptious guacamole, margaritas, mojitos, and mole. The restaurant is
located at <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">303 2nd Street</st1:address></st1:Street>
(between Folsom and Harrison), less than a 10-minute walk from the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Moscone</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. <br>
