You guys just love to pick spots meetings that are only convenient for South Bay people.
Well since we're all headed to Alum Rock, I thought the meeting spot was convenient being that its off the 101 which isnt too far from 280/680/87 also making it easy to get back to Alum Rock. Plus you can get boba! 
Im not too familliar with the Alum Rock area, otherwise I would've suggested an area near there.
If the majority of you guys would like to meet somewhere else that seems to be more efficient for everyone, by all means please voice out your suggestions.
Maybe the East Bay/Peninsula folks could meet up before hand then caravan down to Tap X?

That is about 6.2mi north or Tap X. How is the parking & area over there compared to Tap X?

Here is a link from NASA that says best viewing times are 9-11pm because of the moon:

I probably won't be able to check this thread between 5-8:30 to see the finalized details if the meet time is earlier to avoid the moon. Can someone text me the details of when/where to meet? 650-861-1246 Plz/Thks.

Since we met at 3 AM last year, we didn't hang out before hand, so I think that spot worked out fine. If you guys are looking to chill before hand, then the other spot might work better.
