petaluma Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Ok here we go. I am probably really really going to regret this... I am making a call out to all CA'ers in the Bay Area to see if they would like to take an afternoon or evening, weekend preferably, and get together for snacks and a few adult beverages at one of the SF watering holes. I would be happy to coordinate if there is any interest.....it might be "interesting" to meet face to face. Ground rules in advance: 1. No subjective/objective discussions 2. No weapons allowed, see rule # 1 What do Bay Area folks think? Or anyone else that would like to participate.

David I live on the Peninsula, but might be interested as long as it wasn't a weeknight (even Fridays due to the traffic heading into the city after the workday ends). Saturday or Sunday; afternoon or evening would be fine with me. George Graves George Link to comment

JohnSwenson Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I would be very interested, but I don't have a lot of free time for it. A Saturday would probably be the best time for me. I am in Fremont. John S. Link to comment
petaluma Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks like were getting some traction. I'm going to give it another 10 days or so to see how many more sign on and then put the details together. So far including myself we have 6 yeas/maybes. 1 of the 6 was a PM. I will say now that based on the initial feedback the weekend is the target and probably an afternoon. Thanks for responding and lets see how many more we get.

Thanks for responding and lets see how many more we get. David I would be in for a meet up too. Southern Pacific Brewing would be a good location in SF. It's within a 15 minute walk from the 16th St Bart station in the Mission. Parking is relatively easy nearby. They have plenty of tables and a balcony that is usually not too crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Southern Pacific Brewing Co Link to comment
Superdad Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Depending upon the weekend, I might be up for the drive. (3 hours from my place to SF) I have been promising John I'd get to his place again anyway, so if the dates work I'll combine it. UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Skip Pack Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm in Hollister, so it's a bit of a drive but I do it often for various purposes. I would also be happy to have some passengers come along. Skip Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I probably can make it. If you don't mind my offering a suggestion, I think it would be nice to pick a place quiet enough that people at opposite ends of a table can hear each other easily. Is that true of the balcony at Southern Pacific Brewing? If you can't think of a quiet bar or eatery, would a park with picnic tables be an agreeable alternative?

I'd like to think I know everything but as I get older it becomes painfully obvious I pretty much do not.... Will take a look at a few location options. Agree that we need to be a "reasonably" environment for discussions and possible guest speakers. Thanks David "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place".

Bob Stern Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 How about the Ferry Bldg? It has numerous outdoor tables and a wide choice of food/drink vendors. However, I don't know how hard it is to find parking on weekends and how much it costs.
