Best places to network with super geeks in the bay area

In all seriousness, it seems like this site has a high concentration of both true geeks and persons living in the bay area. You can also shoot me an email, I'm always looking to meet more super geeks: jeykottalam, gmail.

I attended startup school and I met many brilliant and ambitious people. I also heard of superhappydevhouse.org which sounds like a lot of fun. Anyone knows of other good places to network with programmers and founders in the SF/Bay area?

It's not really a place you'd necessarily network at, but you can at least work in the presence of other geeks (and wannabes) at Ritual Roasters coffeeshop on 21st and Valencia.

Around Cambridge - I personal prefer http://www.diesel-cafe.com/ in Sommerville, Ma.

barcamps (at least in boston) bring together pretty much exactly the people you're looking for, and the group is fairly diverse (young, old, hardcore hackers, serial entrepreneurs, more "corporate" developers, a couple investors/service providers, etc.)

SHDH is really great. Lots of smart and helpful guys to hang out with while you're coding.
