I just one of the organizers of Oakland Nights
Live scheduled for Oct
 11th (evening)
 
 whether we can run our event later (until maybe 6pm or 7pm) in the ballroom
 during their setup, then move downstairs to the basement if necessary.
 I think this might be ideal for both time to prep, low overhead, and use
 of the big beautiful ballroom!

  Hey all,
 Okay, so I have a tough question to ask!!!
 Here's The Omni's calendar 
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar
 We *can *host the event on Oct 25-26, BUT we'll have to coordinate 
 with a
  concurrent event:
 
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/24_Alette_in_Oakland They
 expect 100-150 people mainly in the ballroom (
 
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/File:Omni_full_floorplan_NS.svg).
 I'd anticipate a BACH Unconference maybe getting close to the 100+ mark
 only with a great turnout, but probably closer to ~50 with rolling
 attendees (folks leaving and new folks arriving) for this first-time
 event.
 Either number of people would fit in the basement + sudo room's space 
 (see
  same floorplan above).
 Here are the *Alette in Oakland* (concurrent event) details:
 Fri Oct 24: 7-10pm
 Sat Oct 25: 10am-10pm
 Sun Oct 26: 11am-3pm
 We're not sure if there will be sound issues between the ballroom and
 basement, but we can try to find out beforehand. I don't think it will 
 be
  too big of an issue if we're not using
amplified sound.
 Alternatively, we can pick an earlier date with more flexibility of
 location and concurrency
 Oct 4-5 has:
