That's awesome. I'll have to go one of these weeks. If i do meet him I'll tell him you said hello. Message in a bottle indeed, I never even expected anyone to answer, just a random thought cast out into the ether[net]. Ah hah. That's awesome. I'll have to go one of these weeks.

I suggest giving the shop a call. I'm over in Marin, so I've not had a chance to visit his store. I used to work with him years ago, reconnected via Facebook, and have been following his blog, which is very insightful about small business. I'm not a gamer -- burned out on the original Adventure, I guess -- but I still find his writing interesting. If you talk to him, tell him I said Hi -- he'll get a kick out of it. I just stumbled on your site via Google (actually, I think via a post you made on another blog). Found a number of things I like here. Lil Cthulu, your advice about backups (though I'd go even further). Happened to click on this article, and thought Aha! Message-in-a-bottle delivered!

They have regular game nights, including D&D and Magic. The shop is located near Fry's Electronics, which would allow you to doubly satisfy your inner geek in one trip.

You have the different clans/classes (Brujah,Ventrue,Malkavian,Gangrel,Nosferatu,Toreador instead of warrior,elf,mage, etc) Instead of HP you have Blood Points, but it's pretty much the same.
