Here's the text from the FB announcement:

<<
New Ren Prod event scheduled for the first weekend in August, August 6-7, 2011. The event will be held in Guadalupe River Park, downtown San Jose. If you've been to San Jose before, this is the park right next to HP Pavilion. It is located 2 blocs from Am Track, two blocks away from VTA, 2 Blocks away from San Jose Rail station that unites the whole of San Jose. It is landlocked on two sides: one side there is a river, on the other tennis courts. The middle of the road will be closed and will there will be security posted there day and night. There will b two entrances one on St James and Santa Clara both of which again will be closed off for the night with security guards. This is a no sleep on site at night event, but with so many accommodations in the area, there should not be an issue for anyone. I hope you enjoy my home city and be a part of our event or just come and visit.

I asked them about posting it on the Renaissance Productions website (http://www.renaissanceproductions.com/).  Hopefully they do that soon.

Woohoo!
