Sounds COOL!!!! But Sandi and I won't be able to make it most of the time. That area is just to hard to get to for us (damn traffic). I say go for it!!!!

There are a couple that stand out, the Coffee Cove Internet Cafe and an ice cream shop near Varsity Theaters. > > There have been several people who have been interested in having informal discussion meetings (ie, Geek-Outs). I personally know that these are very productive. The late/great Berkeley Unix Users Group (BUUG) was essentially a gathering of Unix geeks at a coffee shop. We would chat about Unix and programming and ogle each other`s laptops. > > Just talking to other people (some of whom were waaaay more 37337 than yours truly) about technology taught me more than I would have learned by staying at home reading, or attending a formal tutorial. > > > Here are some ideas: > > Every other Tuesday at 7PM > > Meet at the Coffee Cove (The cafe has great sandwich deals for >$6.00, and they make a mean latte) - If the Cove is full we can meet at the ice cream parlour or the other Internet Cafe across the street (which has a Freenix box). > > Every week one of us should bring a print-out of something cool they found on the Internet. > > Have informal conversations until someone falls asleep or they kick us out. > > Adopting the moniker of G.L.U.G.
