Family responsibilities will keep me from making a weekend meetup, but anyone interested in hn would likely enjoy http://promenade.thursdaylunch.com/ in Santa Monica. That happens every week, and I'm usually there.
FWIW I'd highly recommend considering doing it at the Coloft space in Santa Monica.
Wil, thanks for recommending the Coloft. We'd be happy to provide the space! http://coloft.com
Hmmm, I'm not so sure changing the meetup location on such short notice is the best idea, I'd hate to have people showing up to the wrong spot.
That'd be great for the next one though!
Wasn't sure if you had picked a space yet. We'd be happy to host the next one here at Coloft.
sounds good!
I am really interested in going, but it just so happens I'm out of town for the next 3 weeks :( I'd love to hear about how things went, and for this to be a monthly occurrence. I look forward to the next one! :)
Awesome! I've been waiting for one of these since I got to LA.
This will be our first meetup, so join in on the initial discussion for what we hope to be a monthly fixture!
Is the meeting likely to be in other parts of Los Angeles, or will it remain a Santa Monica Meetup?
We'll likely be having our next one in SM, since CoLoft so generously donated space to us, but I don't see any reason we wouldn't be able to move around a bit! Out of curiosity, what part of LA are you in?
Pasadena, near JPL/Caltech. The downside to being out here is that there aren't any public hacker spaces (that I know of).
I'm in the same area - I'm sure between Caltech, JPL, and places like Idealab there should be some more of us around. I'll organize a local meetup if we can get a few more people - if you're from the area and interested, reply here or send me an email (in my profile).
I'm also from Pasadena. I would definitely be there.
I'd totally go, but the ICFP contest is this weekend. Well, maybe they'll have a boring problem.
Sounds great! Incidentally, there's a chalk festival in Pasadena that weekend too.
Still shooting for 3pm?
Yep still shooting for 3.
Damn, was hoping it was a bit later - won't be able to make it this time. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for putting this on!
