Update!!: SF Bay Area Meetup?

Update:

It seems we have a good handful of folks potentially attending!

Verve Coffee Shop was suggested as a place, but there were some concerns about the length of time we can stay there, or whether there will be enough space. The Portland group meet up at a Chinese restaurant if I remember correctly. Any thought on this would be helpful.

What about a Dec. 10 or 11 date? Saturday or Sunday? Any preference from people who are planning to attend? Or, if that doesn't work for enough people, looks like we might get another attendee in mid-January.

Thanks for your additional thoughts and comments!

Hi C99ers!

I just wanted to reach out and see if there is any interest in a real life meetup of members here in the San Francisco Bay area? I probably couldn't do it until the second weekend in December, but I am willing to assist in arranging things. I think it would be cool to meet up with like-minded, intelligent individuals!

I also understand if you'd rather message me privately (or even just show up at the event) instead of posting here that you live in the area. If you care to message me, I'll only post that X number of users have messaged me privately that they'd be interested.

What do you think?

it would be nice. I enjoyed the few get togethers I attended with the MotorCity Kossacks despite being small in number. Good luck.

I guess it doesn't need to be huge. Thanks for the input!

I'm certainly interested in meeting others, but I'm old and can't travel very far. Like Magiamma, we live in the Monterey Bay area so Redwood City and points south is about the limit for us.

Looks like so far we have a number of people from the Monterey Bay. I coud probably drive down thataway on a weekend. I don't know that area well, though. So, I'd need some help deciding where to meet.

Now that this has been stickied, let's see if others are interested before making plans.

I'll leave this stickied for a day or two. Once you've decided on the date be sure to post additional essay updates so more members will see it.

I live on the Central Coast (Santa Maria) but would be willing to travel the 280 miles to SF if the timing's right.

It's looking like this might be more of a Monterey thing anyway, so that might save you some travel time!

I'm gonna (with JtC's help) let this run until mid-Sunday. After that, I'll post a new essay with details (or options) for the meetup.

Santa Cruz seems a likely place. Any thoughts on where would be a decent place to meet there? I know very little about Santa Cruz.

But I'm in the process of spending most of my time in SoCal. I'll be back in Berkeley from Jan 16 till early Feb. I'll make it if I can!!!

I'm certainly in for South Bay/Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay areas.

if we want to meet in Santa Cruz, after a bit more research I suggest we meet here:
