Sunday January 7th - Winchester Mystery House in Santa Clara, CA

Meet at the Mystery House for a tour - tickets purchased on your own at their website https://winchestermysteryhouse.com/

I suggest picking a tour between noon and 1:00. 
After the tour - we will meet up at nearby Urban Plates to continue the conversation. I will be attending the 11:50-12:50 ghost tour and then the 1:20-2:20 mansion tour - this means that I and some others will NOT make it to Urban Plates till after 2:30. Some people will only do the ghost tour and will be at Urban Plates soon after 1pm. There are many tour times to select from.
