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.
